Rizvi College of A/S/C (TRACK ID-13338) AQAR 2016-17 Page 53 of 74
Weakness
1. Lack of adequate space coming in the way of add-on courses, lab expansion plans.
2. Due to paucity of funds, number of journals, books and periodicals were also limited.
Opportunities
1. Being a minority institution, opportunity to bring about inclusive approach to bring
minority community into the mainstream
2. Teachers are given every opportunity to excel in their respective field, providing them a
highly research oriented environment. Encouraging them to publish papers and chair
sessions at state, national seminars and undertake minor and major research projects
under UGC and Mumbai University.
3. Students are encouraged to reorient learning to meet the new system through intensive
coaching and remedial classes for the weaker students.
4. Opportunities for student’s participation in research activities through annual convention.
(Avishkar).
Threats
1. Due to a large number of self-financing courses takers for Humanities and Science
stream has been dwindling
2. As the college expenses are mostly based on grants from the government (in the aided
section) meeting the growing demand of education is a major threat.

Best Practice in the College through Field Visits
1. Title of the Practice
Field Visit
2. Goal
The Aim of the field visit has been to bridge the gap between theory and practices
observed in real life. To improve the understanding gap between text (as imparted in class
room and books) and context (as observed by students during the field visit).
3. The Context
It was realized that our students restricted themselves to theory as encapsulated in the
text books. Therefore we explored a mechanism to expose them to the ground level
realities in their respective sphere of study. Field visit was considered as a convenient
tool to provide our students the opportunity to improve their understanding of the ground
level realities.
4. The Practice
The department of English took the students of Mass Communication of SYBA to the
Khandala Literary festival on 12th
June 2016. The students were exposed to the art of
fantasy fiction writing, counter telling of mythology. They were exposed to a new genre
in Indian writing which were subaltern, thought-provoking but logically viewing well
known stories through a new prism. Mention may be made of Anand Neelakantan –
Asura the tale of the languished. The session by Mahroof Raza “Idea of modern India”
was thought provoking. Our students were also exposed to several debates on TV,
cinema. “Does the mainstream need an alternative?” - Distinguished bi-lingual writer
Shanta Gokhale, Amol Palekar, Marathi and Hindi Actor shared their views.
Department of sociology also provided opportunities to our students to learn hands on,
apply theoretical knowledge to urban problems, through field visits. It helped students to
integrate theory and ground level reality, understand social problems like substance
abuse, problems of socio- economic disadvantaged, discrimination and learn to accept
Rizvi College of A/S/C (TRACK ID-13338) AQAR 2016-17 Page 70 of 74
values of diversity. It also sensitized them to relevant societal issues, it helped students to
demonstrate ability to integrate theoretical framework with reality. It improved
fundamental problem solving skills especially relating to violence, oppression, social
injustice and plight of old and infirm.
Mention may be made of “beyond the binaries” at integral space. It exposed students to
issues of violence against women, life of sexual minorities like transgender. It helped
students clear their misunderstanding relating vulnerabilities of violence. It stressed the
need to be vocal and raise voices against injustice. The need to respect diversity was also
instlilled in the students.
Visit to Asha Dhan was held on 18th
October 2016 with 52 students interacting with
geriatric destitute and spastic children. It sensitized our students to the problems plaguing
our society.
Department of Zoology took the students to understand the fish species, mollusks,
crustaceans. They were shown various instruments used in fish processing. To ensure
better life to marine inter-tidal organisms, the department undertook beach cleaning
activity.
Department of chemistry with Botany and Zoology had a special session for the final
year science students on career in health care industry by visiting PD Hinduja National
Hospital and Research Centre on 18th
February 2017. They visited various departments
like radiology, dialysis and endoscopy to gain first-hand experience of their working.
They also interacted with some of the alumni pursuing their career in health care
industry.
Department of Economics and Business Economics took the second year and Final year
students to the currency museum in RBI. To expose them to the history of currency and
also to gain an understanding regarding legal tender and other currency issued under the
signature of the Governor of RBI.
5. Evidence of Success
Field visits have gone a long way in developing a keen interest in the subject. The
interaction in the class has shown perceptible improvement and they are in a better
position to relate to the subject. Overall academic performance has also shown an
improvement.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Students require a lot of coaxing as parents are reluctant to send their children. Cost of
the field visit is a deterrent in wider participation. The syllabus and time required to
complete it does not permit too many field visits

Annexure 3.2 – Best Practices in College through Mentoring
Title –Mentoring
Goal –Mentoring is to support and encourage students to manage their own learning in order that
they may maximize their potential and improve their performance.
Context - In recognition of Dr Rizvi’s vision of “Education for All” the portals of our Institution
are open to all strata of society. This entails that we get academically weak students, students
from poor economic background and those who have studied in the vernacular medium and who
find education in English an uphill task. Over the years we have realized that this has led to
absenteeism in the class and poor results. Further, most of the students are shy and are scared to
approach their teachers for help and guidance.
To improve the results as well as to boost the morale of the students, our College introduced the
“Class Mentor System”
Practice – At the beginning of each academic year, the class mentors committee is formed. Each
class gets a mentor who is also the class teacher of this class. It is the duty of this mentor to guide
and encourage the students to rise above the difficulties they face and improve their
performance. The mentor meets students regularly for discussion to understand the specific
needs of any particular student. The university mandates a minimum of 75% attendance for
every student to be able to appear for any exam. The mentor monitors the attendance of his class
and puts up a “black list” every month of students who default. The mentor then calls up the
parents who are asked to visit the college to meet him.
Finally, if any student has any problem which needs professional guidance, he/she is sent to the
professional counselor available in our college. The College has a Professional counselor who
visits the campus twice a week for counseling students. We also have a faculty member who is a
trained in-house counselor and is available to the students on campus during college hours. Many
students have benefitted from their visit to the counselor.
Evidence of success – Mentors maintain a register where they maintain details of their
discussion with the students. On request from the students, the college has introduced Remedial
Lectures for the academically weak.
Problems encountered –
1. Lack of space / time ( Resource required)
2. Students are shy, especially girls
3. Absenteeism.
4. Lack of communication between parents and students.

5. Need to have a professional counselor on regular basis (Resource required)
Yet the Mentor system has been quite successful because mentoring is a strategy of intervention
that has the capacity to serve both as promotion and prevention
