2.14 Significant Activities and contributions made by IQAC

1. Web space for Doctoral Scholars: the web space (hosted on the TISS server) created for M.Phil-

P.hD scholars enables the scholars to upload their research interests, working paper, recent writings

and get to know of other scholars with common research interests. The beta version of this site is

being used as a forum for student communication, information dissemination and for showcasing of

events (Proposal, synopsis presentations), research work and outputs of RC funded research work.

2. Strengthening of Knowledge Dissemination: The IQAC strengthens knowledge dissemination in

two ways- digitalising and disseminating the research articles published in the Indian Journal of

Social Work (IJSW) and publishing working papers. The IJSW online was launched in January 2017.


7

It hosts research articles published in print forms since 1940.

Additionally, working papers are continuously reviewed and uploaded at the research and

development website. Faculty and students regularly publish their research findings as working

papers.

3. RS Tracking System and Online Platform for M.Phil- P.hD Scholars: Initiated in 2013, this online

tracking system continues to enhance interaction between scholars and guides. This system allows

scholars to interact with guides via a message communication system. Students can upload their

progress related documents online and these are approved by the guides through the system. The

process of student tracking and interaction with guides along with maintenance of a repository of

student data has been streamlined through this venture.

2.15 Plan of Action by IQAC/Outcome The plan of action chalked out by the IQAC in the beginning of the year towards quality

Enhancement and the outcome achieved by the end of the year*

Plan of Action

Achievements

The Institute has a well-planned academic calendar prepared in the beginning of each academic year,

by an Academic Committee constituted by the Director for this special purpose, that is strictly

followed. Maintaining the academic calendar remains a top priority of the Institute; ensuring that

classes and examinations happen on time. Different sections/departments of the administration work

together for the proper implementation of the academic calendar. Schools / Centres finalise course

content, teachers, objective and learning outcomes, content schedule and outline, teaching methods,

educational resources, and assessments. It is compulsory for course teachers to upload the course

outline and reading material on the online platform before commencement of courses. Given that this

is a priority area and the Institute has robust systems, there have been no significant challenges in the

past few years; despite the significant increase in numbers of Academic Programmes.

(i) Flexibility of the Curriculum: CBCS/Core/Elective option / Open options

The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) allows students to choose inter-disciplinary, intra-

disciplinary, and skill- based courses (even from other disciplines) according to their learning needs,

interests and aptitude. The CBCS not only offers opportunities and avenues to learn core subjects, but

also explore additional avenues of learning for the holistic development of an individual.

There are 58 courses being offered under the CBCS for the 2016–2018 batch, and a Master’s student

from this batch can choose any 4 courses (of 2 credits each) from this selection. The CBCS courses

will be offered in the second, third and fourth semesters in a 4-hour slot twice a week.

(ii) Pattern of programmes:

All Masters Programmes follow the credit based semester system that has been in practice for the last

50 years. All teaching programmes consist of compulsory and optional courses offered in each

semester by Schools and Centres. Students have an option of auditing optional courses or any course

from other similar programmes across Schools. The Institute follows a semester system for all

Master’s and M.Phil. programmes, except those offered at School of Health Systems Studies in

Mumbai Campus-the 4 Master’s Programmes offered at the School follow a modular system in the


9

first year. Independent research is a compulsory part of course curricula at the post graduate level;

with various Academic Programmes allocating between 16 to 24 credits for successful completion of

Research.

1.3 Feedback from stakeholders

Students give detailed and systematically written (end of semester) and verbal feedback (end of

Course and end of programme) on Courses including the following: Nature of Course Design and

Delivery, References and Resource Materials Made Available through Moodle, Quality of Teaching

and Issues with Course and the Teacher, Assessment Methods and Facilitation Process, and

Suggestions and Comments. The evaluation process is done online. This data is compiled and sent to

the course teacher. At the School / Centre level, faculty members jointly review the student feedback

as well as their own experience in being able to fulfil course objectives. Faculty routinely and on a

continuous basis review course progress amongst themselves as well as students to build on insights

and learnings.

Feedback from the fieldwork agencies/placement agencies is reviewed annually, by each

School/Centre in a meeting of faculty members, at the end of every academic year. Insights from field

action and research of the various Schools / Centres are also fed into the process of curriculum

development. Each School keeps in touch with alumni, prospective employers (of students) and with

their field of practice. Valuable insights from this ongoing interaction are translated into maintaining

professional relevance of the curriculum. Workshops have been conducted with alumni to obtain their

views, which have contributed to the review process.

*Please provide an analysis of the feedback in the Annexure

1.4 Whether there is any revision/update of regulation or syllabi, if yes, mention their salient aspects. The Institute has been carrying out syllabus revision at regular intervals. Course teachers have the

flexibility to make minor modifications through annual revision to retain relevance. Substantive

revisions in the curricula are referred to the Academic Council (AC) for ratification. Almost all

courses have undergone substantive revisions since their inception to respond to emergent

developments in Social Sciences and the globalised, networked context.

The Academic Council approved changes in credit load in Development Studies and Women's

Studies with regard to CBCS courses. The School of Development Studies has brought down

the credits of M.A. in Women's Studies and M.A. in Development Studies to 65.

Under the aegis of the School of Vocational, six programmes-B.A. in Acting, B.A. in

Animation, B.B.A. in Media Management Semester 3 to 6, B.B.A. in Media Management

Semester 1 to 6, B.A. in Film making, B.A. in Fashion designing have been revised based on

2.6 Innovative processes adopted by the institution in Teaching and Learning: Orientation and induction

The SPO organised a Pre-Admission Orientation Programme (PAO) for candidates who had applied

for the 2017–18 TISS Common Entrance Test (CET) in all the TISS campuses. In all, 518 candidates

from all over India attended the PAO programme, with faculty members and students orienting the

candidates about the various aspects of the admission process. The SPO, along with the Office of

Student Affairs, organised Post-Admission Orientation of general category and students from

deprived communities admitted in 2016–17. These orientations emphasised both the academic and

non-academic aspects of life in the Institute.

Student Centric Learning

The M K Tata Memorial Learning Centre for the visually challenged located on the ground floor has

specialist software and hardware enabling visually challenged students to access learning resources.

The academic programmes use a number of participatory methods of ensuring student centred

learning: such as class discussions, student presentations, projects, various problem-solving exercises,

case studies and critical appreciation of literature. These methods seek to elucidate student insights

that can synergise theory and practice. Through this, students are able to critically reflect on scholarly

views, empirical insights, patterns, contemporary aspects and complex dimensions.

The Library conducted a National Workshop on Capacity Building of LIS Professionals in Using


12

Open Journal System (OJS) for e-Publishing in November 2016 that will help publishing houses to

disseminate research findings.

External Experts/ People of Eminence

Eminent academicians, practitioners, entrepreneurs, industry actors, bureaucrats, leaders in industry

and civil society, chief functionaries of multilateral organisations, representatives of the state

executives, legislation and judiciary, activists and grass root communities are invited to TISS through

conferences, seminars and workshops to engage in dialogue with students and faculty. During 2016–

2017, 219 programmes were organised in the areas of human resources management,leadership

development, climate concerns, mental health human development, social accountability, micro-

planning, statistical methods, capacity-building, and development, dalit and tribal issues, disaster

management, education, health, human rights, life skills, management and organisation development,

research methods, and training of trainers, among others.

E-Learning Resources

The E-learning platforms and resources for teaching that are being used or being developed include

Moodle, OpenEdx and Swayam Bharat Programme (massive open online course platform in

partnership with Indian Institute of Technology (Bombay). Collectively, the Institute has moved to

an open source computing and virtual platform, integrating academic interfaces, operational frames,

and other computational requirements. The Computer Centre who has engineered these changes also

provide supportive services to students and faculty; and is headed by a senior faculty. All faculty have

also access to computers and appropriate digital technology, capacity building support in using

hardware and software, as well as troubleshooting.

The Institute’s Digital Library that co-exists with the library in TISS Mumbai has state of art facility.

The foundation course of 90 hours along with its classroom based teaching is also disseminated

virtually, in formats such as video, text on. Some Schools/Centres have their own website/web

pages/cloud systems to facilitate the dissemination of content and exchange of ideas. In addition to

digital technology, individual faculty also use new technologies in pedagogy and learning based on

their course content in the classrooms; such as study tours, projects based learning, etc.

e-PG Pathshala Project on Social Work Education: The Ministry of Human Resource Development

(MHRD), under its National Mission on Education through ICT (NME-ICT), sanctioned a Grant-in-

Aid to the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the production of e-content in 77 subjects at the

post- graduate level. This e-content, so developed, will be available in an open access format through

a dedicated Learning Management System (LMS) as well as through the Sakshat Portal. The School

of Social Work (SSW), TISS Mumbai, has been identified to develop e-content in Social Work under

this project for 10 papers. The e-content is being developed for each of the 10 papers in the form of

35–40 modules, with each module comprising four quadrants — text, self- learning video, references


13

and quiz. Each paper has a coordinator with the content being developed by the paper coordinator as

well as content writers who are members of the academic fraternity from across the country.

During the academic year 2016–2017, the Coordinators worked with content writers to develop the

text quadrants and undertake prior preparation for the self-learning videos. Two papers on

Environment and Society, and Field Work and Field Supervision are in the post-production stage

after completing the video recording of the lectures. The videography and pre-production of the

remaining papers have been scheduled for the month of June 2017.

Innovative Teaching

The TISS knowledge community -students and faculty - have been proactive on exploring heterodox

and progressive research and action paradigms. Schools and Centres have regular meetings to review

the academic content and to enrich the teaching - learning processes; and this is also reviewed at the

University level through several bodies such as the Academic Council, Research Council, Facilitation

Committee, etc. In addition, academic development is also organised through diverse opportunities

arising from regional, national and international collaborations and partnerships with the government,

other universities and learning centres, industry, as well as civil society bodies. One key impact of

such courses is the generation of new knowledge and practice particularly relevant to current, higher

educational needs in Social Sciences.

A 10-day Winter School on “Reappraising the ‘Field’ in Social Science Research on North-East

India”, was organised in January 2017. Doctoral scholars from TISS and Dibrugarh University

participated in the programme. Other than detailed mentoring on their research, students also

benefited from interacting with faculty from the University of Bern, Dibrugarh University, Hofstra

University, University of Melbourne, University of New South Wales, University of Zurich and TISS

Guwahati.

The Centre for Health and Mental Health organised a new Winter Study Abroad programme on

“Transitions to Recovery: Understanding the Social Ecology of Wellness among Persons with Severe

Mental Illness” in collaboration with BALM and Rutgers University.

2.8 Examination/ Evaluation Reforms initiated by the Institution (for example: Open Book

Examination, Bar Coding, Double Valuation, Photocopy, Online Multiple Choice Questions)

The Institute follows an internal assessment system, where course teachers use flexible and multiple

methods of evaluation on a continuous basis. The assessment process involves semester examinations

and/or a variety of individual/group assignments. These include term paper, classroom presentation,

book review, practical assignments and oral examination. Students are encouraged to make

presentations on the different topics covered, based on field visits and their own experiences. Student


14

performance is evaluated in a concurrent manner, particularly in the case of field practicum and

research component. Field work progress is monitored on a weekly basis with a report and a meeting

with the concerned supervisor. Progress of the research is subject to both spontaneous (based on

emergent needs) and systematic evaluation.

Given its complexity, the assessment system is subject to the review of the School Board and

Academic Council that have external peers from esteemed University/Institutions to ensure standards

of excellence. For over five decades, students' work used to be evaluated in grade points under the

seven-point scale. After a comprehensive review of the Examination System, a 10 Point Grading

System was introduced from the 2011-12 Academic Year. The Exam Review Committee constituted

then undertook the review of all the academic programmes and included amongst others a grading

structure for Field Work, and norms on number and nature of various evaluation methods (such as

exams, assignments) for credits given.

2.9 No. of faculty members involved in curriculum restructuring/revision/syllabus development

as member of Board of Study/Faculty/Curriculum Development workshop

The faculty in the Academic Council and Research Council are involved in curriculum

restructuring/revision/syllabus development. The institute strictly follows the guidelines of the

regulatory bodies: the UGC guidelines, the TISS Research Council and Academic Council. All

substantive revisions and course development have to follow these steps: review current academic

developments related to the course; consult with external experts; and review and approve in the

School/Centre Board of Studies, Academic Council and Governing Board progressively. In all these

processes there is an active participation by faculty; as faculty of the centre/school, member of the

Research Council and Academic Council. In the year 2016-17, 69 faculties were involved in

curriculum restructuring/revision/syllabus development as member of Academic Council and

Research Council.

5. Student Support and Progression

5.1 Contribution of IQAC in enhancing awareness about Student Support Services

IQAC facilitates all the student support mechanism in the Institute. The TISS Faculty members and

administration continuously interact with the students and review their academic and personal

progress; through individual meetings as well as group discussions: such as field work supervision,

research supervision, block placement guide, project supervision, etc. Students are encouraged when

necessary to approach faculty both in the Centres as well as the Institute for personal and academic

guidance; Students can approach faculty for additional support wherever required. The Office of

Students’ Affairs (OSA) is responsible for overall student well-being and interfaces with several parts

of the Institute for this purpose. Following are some of the areas where IQAC is providing a mentoring

and supporting role.

Centralised Placement Cell (CPC)

In 2016–2017, the Centralised Placement Cell (CPC) used a multipronged approach to create a

composite employability picture for each student by linking his/her aspirations/career expectations to

relevant organisations. Besides asking students to fill in assessment forms and conducting one-to-one


34

counselling sessions, Career Identifying Exercise, Competency Mapping and Development Area

identification and Career Path planning tests were also used. The student participation saw a marked

increase with 85 percent (480) of the total population enrolling with the CPC. This year we observed

a change in industry participation as the government and CSRs across industries were the key hirers,

for example, State Rural Livelihood Missions (Bihar, Rajasthan), CARE, CAIRN, Teach for India,

IISC. The centralised process also attracted fellowships in diverse specialisations.

The support structures created by the CPC last year are: (i) an exclusive CPC website to view and

directly apply for suitable job and internship positions; (ii) a digitised recruitment portal, which

enabled organisations to review and access the resumes of the students and shortlist probable

candidates, thereby reducing the turnaround time and the administrative hassles; and (iii) a functional

database for student and organisation mapping that ensured smooth delivery of the process.

6.3.2 Teaching and Learning

CLIx platform for students is now ready to be released and will be used in schools in the 2017–2018

academic session. This platform combines the features of G-studio (HBCSE), DL Kit (MIT) and

Unplatform (CLIx). The ideation of the integration began in November and has begun going through

the final stages of testing from March 2017 onwards, ready for release in the schools for the

academic session starting April 2017. This major platform now hosts all the tools, assessments and

modules of TISS, includes unique pedagogic features of gallery and buddy login. It includes data

gathering and also ‘sync-thing’ through which the opportunistic use of connectivity will enable data

exchange and resource renewal.

The CLIx offerings for students now extends to several modules in Digital Literacy, English,

Mathematics and Science; new areas of values and school leadership are under development. A

Design Based Research (DBR) approach has been adopted for development and this will be released

in schools in 2017–2018 session.Teacher Professional Development has also been developed in the

form of a PG Certificate Programme called Reflective Teaching with ICT of 17 credits and a 4-credit

certificate course on teacher. These courses are blended learning courses for in-service teachers and

offer a combination of compulsory and optional course work.

The process of CLIx implementation for 2016–2017 concluded in March 2017 in the States of

Rajasthan, Telangana, Mizoram and Chhattisgarh reaching 461 schools, with 367 school heads

oriented and 89 Teacher Educators oriented and inducted. About 1,021 teachers have been oriented

through workshops to introduce them to the CLIx modules and 14,298 students have used CLIx

resources as a part of their learning in digital literacy, mathematics and English. A series of

roundtables and steering committee meetings in the states have enabled CLIx for students and CLIx

teacher professional development to be incorporated into the state’s workplans, and in the preparation

of teacher educator groups. CLIx has been presented to the Ministry of Human Resource

Development in a series of workshops organised by them on the themes of teacher professional

development and technology integration into the school curriculum.

6.3.3 Examination and Evaluation

The Institute follows an internal assessment system, where course teachers use flexible and multiple

methods of evaluation on a continuous basis. The assessment process involves semester examinations

and/or a variety of individual/group assignments. These include term paper, classroom presentation,

book review, practical assignments and oral examination. Students are encouraged to make

presentations on the different topics covered, based on field visits and their own experiences.

Student performance is evaluated in a concurrent manner, particularly in the case of field practicum

and research component. Field work progress is monitored on a weekly basis with a report and a

meeting with the concerned supervisor. Progress of the research is subject to both spontaneous (based


38

on emergent needs) and systematic evaluation.

Given its complexity, the assessment system is subject to the review of the School Board and

Academic Council that have external peers from the esteemed University/Institutions to ensure

standards of excellence. After a comprehensive review of the 7 Point Grading Examination System,

a 10 Point Grading System was introduced from the 2011-12 Academic Year. The Exam Review

Committee constituted then undertook the review of all the academic programmes and included

amongst others a grading structure for Field Work, and norms on number and nature of various

evaluation methods (such as exams, assignments) for credits given.

6.3.4 Research and Development

The Office of Deputy Director (Research and Development) promotes an environment that facilitates

and sustains high standards in research, and to develop an agenda for future knowledge development

at TISS. The key functions of the Office are to:

• anchor Institutional Bodies (Institutional Review Board and Research Council),

• document and disseminate research work done by research scholars and faculty through publication

of the Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW), books, and working papers,

• provide facilitative support to the M.Phil. Programmes offered by various schools and centres,

• provide capacity building support to research scholars and faculty to strengthen their research work.

The Integrated M.Phil.-Ph.D. programme and the Direct Ph.D. programme of TISS are important

components of the Institute’s academic programmes. At the start of the current academic year, 235

students were enrolled in the Integrated M.Phil.-Ph.D. programme and 93 scholars in the Direct Ph.D.

programme across campuses. From the forthcoming academic year onwards, two new decentralised

research programmes will be offered: Direct Ph.D. in Social Sciences by the Centre for Lifelong

Learning, and an M.Phil. programme in Clinical Psychology by the School of Human Ecology.

Institutional Bodies In the current academic year, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) met five times and reviewed

twenty six proposals of faculty and doctoral research scholars. The main themes of these new

proposals were gender/women's studies (5), public health (13), education (3), family studies (1), tribal

studies (1), and human rights (3). During 2016–2017, the IRB issued ethical clearance certificates to

25 projects, both old and new. The IRB Secretariat regularly updates the section on Research on the

TISS website, which details the processes to be followed to make a submission to the IRB and features

status report of research projects submitted to the IRB. To strengthen and deepen the ethical

component of doctoral research work at the Institute, from the forthcoming academic year, all

doctoral research work will have to be submitted to the IRB. Hence, plans are underway to expand

the composition of the IRB so as to cater to the needs of doctoral scholars.

During 2016–2017, the Research Council (RC) met once in each semester to deliberate and ratify


39

matters pertaining to research scholars, to provide feedback/ suggestions to the M.Phil. curricula

offered by various Schools, to deliberate on new thematic electives offered by faculty, to deliberate

on research proposals submitted for RC grants and monitor these projects, and to institutionalise other

research matters at the Institute level. Continuing the work on inter-disciplinary research across

Schools and Independent Centres, the RC funding was continued for ongoing research projects under

the core thematic areas of Mental Health, Child Rights, Human Development, Social Exclusion, and

Sexual Harassment at the Workplace. During the current academic year, the RC sanctioned grants to

three new research projects: learning experiences of adult learners; drought assessment using remote

sensing and geographical information systems; and needs and expectations of students of library and

information.

Documentation and Dissemination

TISS Working Paper Series: The aim of the TISS Working Paper Series is to provide a platform to

students and faculty to present recent work (at all stages of research) which has not been published

so far. The Series has scholarship in the broad arena of social sciences and social work. The papers

are published electronically and are available online on the TISS website. During 2016–17, eight

working papers were made available online on the themes of childhood developmental and

psychological disorders, sexual economies of caste and gender, violence in non-marital intimate

relationships, democratic rights movement in Mumbai, bilingual pedagogy in Indian higher

education, human rights reader in Telugu, bilingual teaching material for women's studies, and

gendered citizens.

The Indian Journal of Social Work (Online)

The online version of The Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW) was launched in January, 2017.

Keeping the content and quality of the articles as the main foci, the online version has been created

with the aim to disseminate research articles published in the journal to a wider audience.The website

is supported by the Open Journal Systems (OJS) that allows PDF version of manuscripts that have

been peer reviewed and accepted, to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in the final printed

version. The current (2014–present) and archival (1940–2013) volumes are hosted separately for

convenient subscription and accessibility. Access to articles is made through Online Payment

Gateway for readers. The current journal currently holds three volumes (75–77) and hosts about 93

documents; the archive journal holds 74 volumes (1–74) and hosts about 3,207 documents.

Capacity Building Support to Research Scholars and Faculty

During 2016–2017, 21 workshops were organised for research scholars and faculty. These workshops

were ‘open’ to all scholars irrespective of their disciplinary backgrounds. The resource persons for

the workshops were from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. Hence, the workshops become learning


40

spaces in multiple ways as scholars deepened their own knowledge base or skill set and also benefited

from the cross pollination of ideas with their own peers and resource persons. A key area of the

workshops was the range of the workshops conducted to enhance the academic writing skills of

research scholars. Reading and writing remains a complex space to be navigated by scholars and is

an ongoing process. This is punctuated by history, culture, language, societal structures among many

other aspects. The effort has been to offer to scholars reading and writing workshops in small groups

so that individual attention is possible as well. Scholars are welcomed on their request in getting

weekly support that includes life coaching and reflection on their academic papers.

6.3.5 Library, ICT and physical infrastructure / instrumentation

The Sir Dorabji Tata Memorial Library (SDTML) is a resource centre which has evolved into being

an enabler and collaborator in teaching, learning and research at the Institute. Staffed by a dedicated

team of professionals, it continually makes effort to acquire and disseminate learning resources in all

formats. Through the extensive use of open source ICT tools, it provides information services aimed

at providing the highest level of learning, teaching and research support.

The Library’s print collection includes about 1,24,308 volumes covering principal domains of social

science and subscribes to over 9,095 print and e-journals. UGC Inflibnet has recognised it as one of

the National Document Delivery Centres in the field of Social Sciences. A Networked Library System

connects all four campuses to provide a unified platform to search. The Online Catalogue, Web

OPAC, is the most accessed tool amongst its services which clocks over half a million

searchesannually. The user friendly interface provides a visually appealing “Virtual Shelf” to browse

library stacks online. Users can also manage their library account for renewals, reservations, etc.

The Library’s etd@TISS is an institutional repository for archiving faculty projects, theses, and

dissertations of M.Phil., Ph.D. and M.A. programmes for wider dissemination of research output.

Collecting, preserving and providing access to such content is central to the aims of the Library. As

on today, etd@TISS hosts about 7,466 documents and has witnessed more than 18,462 downloads in

the last one year. With research being compulsory in all Masters programmes and the significant

number of M.Phil. andPh.D. scholars being enrolled every year, the Library assigns greater

importance to its Research Support Services. School-specific Liaison Librarians are another special

service of this Library. They work closely with course coordinators, students and faculty to ensure

that they get a personalised support from Library. The SDTML facilitates access to advanced research

tools like Urkund for detecting plagiarism and EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley for managing citations

and references.

The Library’s innovative practice to promote resources and services have been duly recognised as it

is considered as one among the top universities with extensive access/usage of eResources provided


41

under UGC e-ShodhSindhu Consortia. It gets access to several online databases under consortia,

which is again augmented by library subscriptions to several leading online databases in social

sciences. Currently, the SDTML provides access to over 9,095 online journals and 20 databases.

Prominent among them are: JStore, Project Muse, Cambridge University Press, Oxford

UniversityPress, Emerald Management, EBSCO Business Source Elite, PsychArticles, indiastat.com,

GALE Virtual Reference Library (e-books), Net Library eBooks Collection, India Business Insight

Database, etc. The Library’s collections are accessible to our users from anywhere in the world

through the Remote Login facility. More than 6,000 users across four campuses are using this single

sign on service. Users are always connected with the Library whether they are on campus or

elsewhere.

Information Technology Infrastructure

The Computer Centre gave special attention towards updating existing software systems and

improving the IT infrastructure during 2016–2017. School-and Centre-specific templates for updating

information on the TISS website have been created. Similarly, installing CCTV cameras have been

completed and operational; this covers all entry points to the Campus including Hostels. A biometric

attendance system has been implemented for all Administrative Staff.The programming team is

finalising the biometric attendance system for students’, which will be implemented in the

forthcoming academic year. The academic records of the TISS students, (from 1936 onwards), has

been digitalised. The digitisation of the academic records of Ph.D. scholars is planned for the next

academic year. The Grade Cards and the Degree Certificates of all TISS students will have additional

security features to enable easy verification of Marksheets using the Android Software and Web

Platform.

The Centre continued to provide software support for admission, course evaluation, and fee payment

related issues. A software for the Annual Performance Appraisal System has been developed and

implemented. The Computer Centre provides support for Institute Projects in the form of cloud

storage, data management, etc. Collection of Data for GATS-2 wherein data collected using tablets

6.14 Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly

The TISS Mumbai campus has more than 1,500 trees and nearly 5,000 shrubs and plants.

The Institute had collected more than four lakh litres of rain water, making it self-sufficient,

and not dependent on municipal water supply. To harvest rain water, a 5000-square-foot

terrace and a 500-metre stretch were used as catchment area to collect water which is

channelled to a 60-foot-deep well with a capacity of 10 lakh litres.

To create environment awareness, children of the institute's staff were also exposed to sapling

and seed plantation activities in the Naoroji Campus by the Counselling Centre.

The Day Care Centre of the institute regularly organised nature tour for the children of the

institute's staff and faculty to watch and care for the flora and fauna of the institute.

The two biogas plants (started as a waste management project to treat waste from the canteens)

continued to convert 400kg kitchen waste into a daily supply of one cylinder (15kg) of cooking

gas. Every 25 days, the waste remaining after gas generation is converted into 40kg manure

used at campus gardens.

manpower requirements of the campus need to addressed. It was decided that a committee under the

Chairpersonship of Deputy Director (Academic) shall visit the campus and submit the report.

7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please see the format in the NAAC Self-study Manuals) 1. Curricular Consultative Meetings are organised which is an open forum session between students

and faculties to discuss and evaluate courses and events. It is organised at the end of two years but

before the award of degrees. The actual dates of these meetings are announced by the respective

schools after the Convocation dates are announced. All senior Master’s Degree students are required

to attend the Curricular Consultative Meeting for discussion on the curriculum and to obtain a broad

spectrum opinion about the respective programme of study.

2. A pre-admission Orientation Programme for the new applicants to provide guidance and support

to the SC, ST, OBC and Minority students to apply for the GoI Post-Matric Scholarship (GoI-PMS)

and other relevant scholarships offered by GoI was organised.

*Provide the details in annexure (annexure need to be numbered as i, ii,iii) 7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection

The institute does not interfere the habitat of the flora and fauna of the area. It takes utmost care while
