The institution has270 Girl students, all of them hail from rural background. Inequality and women harassment is the social stigma; the women empowerment cell has taken keen interest to protect the rights of girl students by organizing distinctive programmes. “If you educate a boy, you educate an individual, if you educate a girl, you educate a whole family”.

Empowerment act as a powerful tool against exploitation and harassment faced by women in the society.

 Best Practice - II


TITLE OF THE PRACTICE :

 “Free Book Distribution & Cash Prize to the Meritorious: GIFTs to students” 

Objectives of the Practice

YVNR GDC is located in poor and rural area, the faculty strives hard to give model of education that is based on compassion and mindful living. To achieve this the faculty  encourages and motivates the students to show a better performance in the semester end exams.  The meritorious in some instances are very poor, so as to assist such poor students this practice helps them financially. Also this practice encourages the students towards attaining the educational progress. Moreover, it helps to inculcate healthy competition among the students to be more meritorious. In deed this practice of giving cash prize reduce the burden of Finance on students and is for the welfare of students.

The Context

There is an increasing tendency among the students to discontinue studies because of financial problems they are facing at their  homes. In such cases, the students become dropouts and some are coming to the college rarely and number of absentees are increasing, even though they are bright in studies.

The Practice

Cash prize has been announced for the meritorious students. It is really a motivation for the students. The prize amount is sponsored by the faculty. On receiving the  prize, the students may be in the thought of furthering better. Seemingly ordinary but great in the generation of motivation. We have targeted to reach some more number of students for the distributing the cash prize.

Evidence of Success

We gave away the cash prize for the meritorious on the occasion of the annual day. We have expected a maximum number of parents to take part in the meeting so as to make them aware about students and college.

Problems Encountered

Initially we got confused about the division and allocation of the cash prize .We were unable to make divisions for the cash prize. Later through a meeting, the cash prize got distributed equally between the groups of science, arts and commerce. Financial issues were visible, still we continued the practice every year with a good motive.

Best Practice - III


1.Title of the Practice:

 Institutional Social Responsibility - Adoption of a village

 2. Objectives of the Practice:

To transform the village by improving the poor socio-economic conditions, living standards and cleanliness habits.

To involve students in conducting socio-economic survey in adopted village as part of their

field activity. In turn, students will enhance their social, communication and soft skills qualifying themselves for employable skills, while promoting a social cause.

To develop leadership qualities, social responsibility, analytical skills and innovative thinking

among students.

To bridge the gap between benefits and beneficiaries by creating awareness among the people on various Government and non-Government welfare schemes.

To develop awareness among villagers by NSS volunteers on latest break throughs in agriculture, watershed management, non-conventional energy, low cost housing, sanitation, nutrition and personal hygiene, skill development programs, income generating government schemes, Environment and Energy Conservation, Education, legal aid, consumer protection, anti drug addition, AIDS, Preventive measures against Covid and fevers like Dengue, Swine Flu, Malaria etc.

To transmit the spirit of both Central Govt. and State Govt. sponsored programs for rural development such as Swachch Bharat, Ayushman Bharat, Digital India, Made in India, Beti Bachao - Beti Padhao and other activities.

 3. The Context:

There is an increasing tendency among the students that the purpose of education is getting high paid jobs, earning money and settling abroad without any concern for community development.

At present the competitive environment and mechanical learning are channelizing the students away from the opportunity to involve and learn by actively participating in community service.

A wide spread despondency, passivity, fatalism and helpless attitude among the villagers make them drag their existence amidst squalor, suffering disease and death.

4. The Practice:

After a taking into account Government Surveys, distance and accessibility of the village and the nature of problems being encountered, village ACHAVARAM is adopted by the college.

The faculty and NSS volunteers interact with the Sarpanch, Panchayat Secretary, ward members, and school masters in the village, discussed the burning problems and appraised them of the mission for the all-round development of village.

The students have conducted a door-to-door survey in the village to chalk out a comprehensive mission.

Students inspected every nook and corner of the village and convinced people of the dirty, unhygienic surroundings and unclean habits and the resultant ill health and suggested easy and cost effective solutions such as safe disposal of wet and dry wastes, protected drinking water etc.

The staff and students have successfully conducted distribution of books, mathematical tool boxes to the students of MP UP School and blankets to the poor. Also organised plantation of saplings and made the villagers aware of environmental sustainability and its protection.

5. Evidence of Success:

The staff and students are 100% successful in achieving Social integration among the  villagers. There is noticeable change in Greenery of adopted village after the awareness programme. The whole program has brought positive change in the attitude of our students. Their Leadership qualities, self-confidence, public speaking, problem solving and team work have improved a great deal.

6. Obstacles faced and Problems encountered:

Though the students have succeeded in motivating the rural youth towards aquaculture, agriculture, health and hygiene, skill development and environmental concern, older generations above the age of 50 are conservative and need more time for transformation as most of them are orthodox.

There is a problem of poor integration between the Government and the NGO agencies in the implementation of various welfare schemes in rural areas.
