6. Governance and Leadership

University has well defined, systematic, gender-sensitive and democratic mechanism for governance and leadership. The vision, mission and objectives of the University are displayed on prominent places in the University for the Information of all the stakeholders. The rule of law prevails in the system and provisions of the Act, Statutes and Ordinances are strictly followed.

The University has a culture of strong transformational leadership that spearheads management system development, implementation and constant amelioration. It is worth noting that at the highest level, the University leadership comprises of distinguished leaders in academia, research and administration.

As the founder and Chancellor, Dr. Tarsem Garg brought in a distinctive era in education in the region through this University and its institutions and has since been selflessly serving the society by giving the nation a myriad professionals who have long been working towards nation development in different walks of life.

Vice Chancellor forms the highest embodiment of Academic Leadership and is responsible for all the three aforementioned aspects of the University management system that ensures smooth functioning of all university affairs. He is exofficio Chairman of University bodies of the Board of Management, Academci Council, Planning & Monitoring Board and Finance Committee. The next rung down the leadership ladder comprises of Registrar, Deans, Directors, Principals, and Heads of departments. The Registrar is the exofficio Secretary of the above Bodies of the University. Higher qualified and eminent persons are nominated in University Bodies, meetings of which are held regularly.

Each Department has a Board of Studies (BoS) that constantly looks into academic and administrative aspects within the ambit of respective department’s immediate and long-term interests. The recommendations thus emerging are taken up to and addressed by the respective Faculties and the Academic Council. The Academic Council then forwards its recommendations to the Board of Management (BoM), which forms the supreme body that is bestowed with powers to make final decisions. This multi-stage and scrupulous decision making process ensures better quality and lasting decisions. Moreover, this multi-stage decision making process entails reciprocal interaction between the other supplementary bodies such as Finance Committee and the Planning and Monitoring Board that can develop and forward their recommendations directly to the Board of Management or through the Academic Council.

Additionally, the University has in place a strong Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) that well complements the aforementioned policy-forming process.

The University identifies following parties as its absolutely valued stakeholders: (A) Students; (B) Parents; (C) Faculty and staff members; (D) Alumni (E) The Industry; and (F) The society and the Nation at large.

Stakeholders have immediate and direct access to all tiers of leadership.

Orientation program marks the start of interaction with students and continues through each stage of their professional life until they become leaders in their respective fields. The Leadership’s interaction with students is characterised by the following elements:

(a) Easy and direct access to the Leadership; (b) Interaction of mentors with individual student that addresses all aspects of

students’ professional life;

(c) Interaction that also has university, societal and nation building elements in it; (d) Formal and informal student feedback; (e) Suggestions received from students through suggestion boxes available in

every building; (f) Student Welfare Department ensuring continued interaction with students and

paying heed to their problems on a daily basis.

Parents are interacted with at the time of admission, as well as being kept abreast with student’s academic development at regular intervals of time, in person or on phone as well as through departmental correspondence. Further, there is also a system of having parents’ feedback on various issues.

Furthermore, the University is aware of the widening gap between the academia and the industry and being a lacuna in national development and a challenge in student training. Towards bridging this gap the University from time to time creates and sustains formal relationships with the Industry through myriad initiatives at the interface of academia and industry—with direct participation of students. Such activities at the University are exemplified by Management Development Programs (MDP), Industry Research Projects (IRP), conclaves, and campus placements, while also involving from time to time industry experts to interact with students. Also, there is a well-developed system of regular meetings of the faculty and staff with Principals and HODs.

The University Leadership sets the tone on all levels for comprehensive endeavours and progress toward excellence in every segment. The efforts of the Leadership in creating and sustaining a strong culture of excellence is regularly reflected in institutions as well as faculty members at the University winning awards of excellence from time to time. The Leadership, through direct and constant interaction with stakeholders (especially students and faculty members) and through policy making and reforms ensures steady progress towards excellence. The Leadership also motivates students and faculty members to work towards excellence and rewards excellence in their work. Excellence in teaching and research form the chief areas for inculcating and reinforcing a culture of excellence, with these two areas guiding excellence in all other University affairs. Students work closely with faculty members and are often their partners in research. Students are encouraged and provided assistance for presenting their works and participating in conferences, symposia, seminars and colloquiums, etc. The Leadership motivates faculty members for excellence in teaching and research. The IQAC and Academic Audit System undertake a comprehensive quality analysis in teaching and research through regular academic audits, Faculty Development schemes, progress in students learning outcomes, and student feedbacks.

The Leadership, guided by University’s Vision and Mission, creates policies conducive to identifying organisational needs and ways of working towards meeting the same with excellence. The Leadership also creates a reciprocal culture of mentorship and regular in-depth feedback from all stakeholders. This feedback forms the second element in identifying organisational needs. As a third element in the process, the Leadership ensures happening of and duly looks into outcomes of individual department faculty meetings

Academic Leadership is provided by the Vice Chancellor and is supported by Directors, Principals, Deans and Head of Departments. They take care of all activities at the level of University and faculty. The Directors/Principals give advice, directions and support to the Heads of various Departments and they in-turn guide their teaching

and non-teaching colleagues. Various issues are taken up at the Departmental level in their meetings of Departmental Committees and Board of Studies chaired by the HOD.

The decisions taken at the level of faculty and Department Head in their Departmental Committees and Boards of Studies meetings are taken up in the meetings of the faculty chaired by the concerned Dean of Faculty before taking up at the highest level of the Academic Council and necessary action is taken accordingly. In this manner any Department or faculty can come up with suggestion and they will be addressed. Similarly for all administrative matters any teacher or employee can take the matter to the Director through his Departmental Head which receives the due attention from the Administration.

Further, the University has other units like examination, accounts, library and administration, which are headed by Controller of Examination, Finance Officer, Chief Librarian and Registrar respectively. They are further supported by Deputy/Asst. Registrars, office Supdt. and other secretarial staff.

7. Innovative and Best Practices

Some of the innovations and best practices followed in the University include: Choice Based Credit System, representation of industrial experts in Board of Studies, introduction of communication skills/technical seminar in the curriculum, regularly conducting Faculty Development Programme (FDPs) maximum utilization of ICT facilities in learning and governance, providing travel grants for faculty, research fellowship, prohibiting smoking and making smoke free campus and maintaining the echo-friendly green campus.

The University has developed a web based ERP and Bio-Metric system information portal which is managed by in-house IT team. The services cover the entire salary of employees, student enrolment, academic activities related to the collection of attendance of students in class and internal assessment marks.

Choice based credit System (CBCS) is introduced which helps the students to choose subjects of their choice by following the CBCS guidelines. Fast/slow learners are able to take more/less number of credits in a semester based on their intellectual capacity.

The mentoring of each student under the care of a Mentor include monitoring of students’ performance at academic performance, participation in extracurricular/sports activities, competitions, academic events, extension activities, placement, value inculcation, etc. required for support for further growth or initiating correction for each student. One mentor is assigned for 20 students and this systems works very well.

Focus is given to improve the quality of education and evaluation. The faculty are encouraged and sponsored to attend various seminars/conferences held in different Universities/Institutions across the country or abroad so as to inculcate the best practices in education and for their self-development.

The University conducts internal Academic Audit every six months to verify whether quality managements system conform to the quality plan and to determine that it is effectively implemented and maintained. The scope covers all activities of the quality system affecting quality of instruction.

The University has a Performance Incentive Scheme for its entire faculty. The four key result areas identified for improvement include: teaching quality; professional/career development of teachers; relation building with industry, alumni and community and conduct of other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of students.

Best Pactice-1: Mentoring System:

Mentoring system is to establish a trusting relationship with accountability and responsibility between the mentor and mentee. It Provides counselling and guidance to the mentees regarding their career related queries and their personal problems and to overcome their grievances. Mentors apprise the mentees about the procedure, schemes, facilities scholarships/freeships available and also motivate the mentees to take part in extra co-curricular activities.

Our mentoring program provides an opportunity to mentees to share their problems and also put their suggestions and to mentors to help the future professionals with proper guidance. Mentor counsel the mentees one to one and assist them with career exploration, project critiques, and skill building, based on mentees’ needs and interests. The program begins each Semester with a Mentor-mentees allocation and counseling session which provides an opportunity to the student and mentor to meet and interact for the first time. During the semester, mentees share their academic as well as personal problems with their respective mentor from time-to-time. Mentor also communicates with the parents/Guardians regarding the progress telephonically to make them aware about the performance of their wards once in a month. Mentor also dispatched the progress report to the parents of each mentee regarding one’s attendance record and performance in sessional examination.

Evidence of Success:

• Enhances confidence and offers challenges to set higher goals.

• Individual recognition and encouragement.

• Access to a support system during critical stages of academic and career development.

• Exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences.

Best Practices-II: Pre-placement Online Mock-Test Series

The main goal of the practice is to transform the students into well qualified professional through the committed pattern of instruction and well-designed curriculum. This best practice helps the students to become ready for placement drives with confidence and hence a step towards the enhanced employability. The Mock-Test Series is helped to reduce the pressure on the students at the time of campus placement drives, as the students will have to sit for multiple tests throughout the year, thereby decreases the accumulated stress of placement drives in the students. Their skills are sharpened and chiseled keeping in view the patterns of the placement drives. They are given question bank prepared by the expert faculty. This has helped them to attain their targets in a better way.

The Mock-Test Series is implemented to evaluate the skills of students in a subject and to make them know how much they have been through. The students get a wealth of

valuable guidance and feedback from the teachers on regular basis. The Institute ensures that the students are provided with the questions framed by the experienced faculty of the institute.

Evidence of Success: Students learn through a process of trial and error and examinations, which are an important part of learning process for students, the feedback on their performance has greatly contributed to their progress down the line.

The University offers full flexibility to the Departments for developing and updating the curricula. The University follows a well established systematic procedure to design or revise/update the course curricula of various academic programmes. The course curriculum development process is achieved through the active participation/involvement of the industry, academia and the research bodies. The University systematically designs and develops the curricula through a structured approach consisting of feedback from the informal discussion amongst the teachers and students about the curricula strengths and weaknesses, employability aspects of the course curriculum and the class room teaching experience. The outcome is transformed into a preliminary draft by the concerned faculty member, which is further processed to a final draft by conducting workshops for exhaustive deliberations from the different stakeholders including industry, alumni and academic experts.

The final draft is then presented and formally discussed in the Board of Studies (BOS) constituted at the Department level which consists of members from the Industry and premier academic institutions along with the internal faculty members. The guidelines/model curricula of regulatory bodies UGC/AICTE/MCI/DCI/IAP/INC are given due consideration in the design and development of the curricula.

The curricula finalised by the BOS are further deliberated in the meeting of respective Faculty again involving two outside experts. The recommendations of Board of Studies and Faculties are formally deliberated, finalised and approved in the Academic Council at the University level which is chaired by Vice Chancellor of the University and also contains outside experts. Assessment of curriculum revision/updating is assessed based on the feedback on curriculum by faculty based on class room teaching experience, student feedback on the curriculum, inputs from the experts from the prestigious Institutions and renowned industries.

Further students are always encouraged to seek this information from their respective mentors.

Parents are also informed about the same through orientation programmes. Industry sector is informed about the evaluation processes in place through one on one interaction with industry representatives during their visit to the campus.

2.5.2 What are the important examination reforms initiated by the university and to what extent have they been implemented in the university departments and affiliated colleges? Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the examination management system.

• University has adopted Credit based evaluation system wherein 40% weightage is given to internal evaluation and 60% to external evaluation.

• University follows a continuous evaluation system in order to assess the student’s progression throughout the course.

• University has well defined and documented evaluation system which is communicated to the students by the concern department before course begins.

• The internal evaluation is of continuous nature and is carried out by internal teachers, however the external evaluation is done by external examiners.

• Since there is continuous internal evaluation, students attend the classes regularly and sincerely.

• To mention as bottom line, there is continuous teaching, continuous learning, parallel and continues evaluation, etc. are the best practices

81

which improves the performance of the students at academic level and help for smoothing the examination process. For example, continuous evaluation through unit tests, quizzes, home assignments, tutorial sheets, mid-term and end-term examinations have been in place from the inception of University which have positive impact on examination management system.

The University has a well structured grievance redressal cell that follows stringent norms and is committed to resolve the individual/group grievances of students, amicably in a time bound manner. The grievance redressal cell is operated as per the letter of the University Grants Commissionand the regulatory body. The grievance redressal committee puts in the best efforts to resolve the issues both informally and through formal procedures depending upon the severity of the case reported. Meetings are conducted with the staff and students to address the various sensitive issues worth attention. Suggestion boxes are also put in the departments and other important locations to help the students express their grievances. The step-wise grievances redressal mechanism is as mentioned below:

• On receipt of the grievance of a student, a meeting of the committee is convened in which the whole incidence is narrated orally by the concerned student and a well structured grievance proforma is also filled by the student.

304

• Depending on the severity and nature of complaint either informal or formal procedure of grievance redressal is adopted. In case the problem is raised due to the mindset/paradigm of the student only the student is counselled alone and if necessary parents are also informed regarding the matter.

• In the case of any serious problem, the appropriate action is taken. While minor cases of triple nature are resolved by the Head of the institution/branch officers at their own level, no serious case has ever been reported from our campus to be decided by the Grievances Redrassel Committee. In addition, there is also an Internal Complaint Committee and the University has also appointed ‘Lokpal’ in the person of Dr. Lal Chand Gupta, former Dean Faculty of Arts & Languages, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra as per instructions of the AICTE.

• Matter is communicated to the concerned Principal where the opinions of both the parties are heard. Both the parties are counseled at this stage to redress the complaint as early as possible.

• In case both the parties are not satisfied, matter is then communicated to GSCASH.

• If the incident of “Sexual Harassment” is of grave nature, it will immediately be reported to police apart from initiating departmental action against the person concerned.

GASCASH in collaboration with the Women Cell of the University also carries out research studies through MSC (Nursing) students on women related issues like Female feticide, Eve teasing, Domestic violence and assessment of awareness, satisfaction and expectation of female students regarding gender equality and sensitization measures.

• Parents/ guardians Instill values and a sense of responsibility in their children helping them to become good citizens Show care and concern for their teachers/ classmate. They also coordinate with the system of the organization to provide good education to their children.

• Teachers/ mentors are not only involved in the class room teaching but they also play significant role in the professional and personality development of the students. Teachers/ mentors Motivate, challenge and help students find the potential within themselves so that they can use their abilities/potentials for overcoming barriers in their lives.

This is in the form of two-way communication with the students, their parents and faculty. The constituent colleges are dedicated and committed towards students welfare and their progression as they are the primary stakeholders of the organization. After joining the program, all students are provided with an orientation session, which gives them a clear idea about the program and its expectations, as well as various challenges that they will face. For all students, before the placement session begins, the constituent colleges organize a comprehensive viva-voice and mock interviews involving industry experts that help them to prepare for the selection process. Students’ performance in the program is constantly monitored. Students are also formally counselled by the faculty to help them cope with the various challenges of the program. The University makes the students aware about the institute rules and regulation at the time of admission. At the beginning of every semester students are registered for the relevant courses and at the end of the semester the feedback is sought to further improve teaching-learning process. Parent-Teacher meeting is organized wherein parents and guardians of the students are made aware of the academic system and norms.

Beside this students are also sent for industrial visits to upgrade the practical exposure. The executive and the academic council of the university has members from amongst the principals of constituent colleges/institutes who are actively involved in ensuring overall development of the students by sharing their valuable thoughts and imparting support to them. Constituent colleges collect feedback from students, faculty members, supporting staff, industries, alumni, external academic and make improvements in the teaching and learning system to ensure the overall development of its students. Feedback is obtained from students on courses offered, courses desired and on modifications of curriculum. Students’ feedback is also used as a yardstick for the assessment of the performance of faculty. In addition, the MM College of Law organises Legal Aid Camps and Programmes in the University as well as in the neighbouring rural areas in collaboration with District Legal Services Authority, the Department stimulates cooperation from different stakeholders. Also, MM Institute of Nursing and MM College of Nursing are getting cooperation from different stakeholders as MoUs by Institute of Mental Health Sciences, Agra Cantt and Civil Hospital, Ambala City for the clinical training of the students to develop their nursing skills.

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and the mission of the university.

Vision Statement: To develop better than the best professionals for the economic development of the country.

Mission Statement: To prepare students with an integrated and technology oriented education for a better career and to be worthy citizens of a global society.

6.1.2 Does the mission statement define the institution’s distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, the institution’s tradition and value orientations, its vision for the future, etc.? Yes. The Vision and Mission constantly inform the University’s commitment to transform itself into a premier seat of knowledge and learning. Towards this, the University employs multiple time-tested approaches exemplified by its wide range of courses aimed at imparting practical knowledge based education and comprehensive efforts in serving the society, as well as novel approaches reflected in its academic initiatives.

352

Having been acutely aware of societal needs especially in the Indian context, the University has aimed at creating a niche for itself as a place where betterment and advancement of human culture forms the defining aspect of its functioning. This quintessential spirit runs through and guides the functioning of the University and its forward march.

In catering to the needs of its primary stakeholders, namely the students, the mission statement has been envisioned in accordance with their holistic and long-term needs. While integrated and holistic education form the cardinal impetus for students’ growth, keeping them abreast with and imparting necessary skills in emerging technologies is equally motivated by the mission statement. The other hallmark characteristic informed by the mission statement entails preparing students to be global citizens with no cultural or other barriers. The mammoth presence of international students from more than twenty countries on the campus, their constant interaction with Indian students, and acquainting and training of Indian students to deal with global challenges are a testimony to how the mission statement caters to the needs of its students towards making them international citizens. The University has always strived to build a tradition of academic excellence. While its mission is driven by strong values that run through all its functions, efforts are made to inculcate the same among its students. The mission statement is intimately connected to the University’s vision for the future. Apart from continuing to prepare best professionals for the economic development of the country, the future vision in its perspective plan entails expansion in other domains of academic milieu and efforts to reach out to larger sections of the society.

6.1.3 How is the leadership involved

∗ in ensuring the organization’s management system development, implementation and continuous improvement?

The University has a culture of strong transformational leadership that spearheads management system development, implementation and constant amelioration. It is worth noting that at the highest level, the University leadership comprises of distinguished leaders in academia, research and administration. The Vice Chancellor forms the highest embodiment of Academic Leadership and is responsible for all the three aforementioned aspects

353

of the University management system that ensures smooth functioning of all university affairs. He in his capacity as the chairman of Board of Management, Academic Council, Planning & Monitoring Board and Finance Committee is fully involved in development of various systems and ensuring their continuous improvement. In his effort, he is fully supported by Registrar, Deans, Directors, Principals, and Heads of departments apart from the sponsoring body.

Additionally, the University has in place a strong Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) that well complements the aforementioned policy-forming process.

∗in interacting with its stakeholders?

The University identifies following parties as its absolutely valued stakeholders: A) Students; B) Parents; C) Faculty and staff members; D) Alumni E) The Industry; and F) The society and the Nation at large. Stakeholders have immediate and direct access to all tiers of leadership.

Orientation program marks the start of interaction with students and continues through each stage of their professional life until they become leaders in their respective fields. The Leadership’s interaction with students is characterised by the following elements: a) Easy and direct access to the Leadership; b) Interaction with individual student mentors that addresses all aspects of students’ professional life; c) Interaction that also has university, societal and nation building elements in it; d) Formal and informal student feedback; e) Suggestions received from students through suggestion boxes available in every building; f) Student Welfare Department ensuring continued interaction with students and paying heed to their problems on a daily basis. Parents are interacted with at the time of admission, as well as being kept abreast with student’s academic development at regular intervals of time, in person as well as through departmental correspondence.

Further, there is also a system of having parents’ feedback on various issues. Student mentor also remains in touch with the parents. Furthermore, the University is aware of the widening gap between the academia and the industry and how is it a lacuna in national development and a challenge in student training. Towards bridging this gap the University from time to time creates and sustains formal relationships with the Industry through myriad initiatives at the interface of academia and industry—with direct participation of students. Such activities at the University are exemplified by Management Development Programs (MDP), Industry Research Projects (IRP), conclaves, and campus placements, while also involving from time to time industry experts to interact with students. Also, there is a well-developed system of regular meetings of the faculty and staff with Principals and HODs.

∗in reinforcing a culture of excellence? The University Leadership sets the tone on all levels for comprehensive endeavours and progress toward excellence in every segment. The efforts of the Leadership in creating and sustaining a strong culture of excellence is regularly reflected in institutions as well as faculty members at the University winning awards of excellence from time to time. The Leadership, through direct and constant interaction with stakeholders (especially students and faculty members) and through policy making and reforms ensures steady progress towards excellence. The Leadership also motivates students and faculty members to work towards excellence and rewards excellence in their work. Excellence in teaching and research form the chief areas for inculcating and reinforcing a culture of excellence, with these two areas guiding excellence in all other University affairs. Students work closely with faculty members and are often their partners in research. Students are encouraged and provided assistance with for presenting their works and participating in conferences, symposia, seminars and colloquiums. The Leadership motivates faculty members for excellence in teaching and research. The IQAC and Academic Audit System undertakes a comprehensive quality analysis in teaching and research through regular academic audits, Faculty Development schemes, progress in students learning outcomes, and student feedbacks.

∗in identifying organizational needs and striving to fulfil them? The Leadership, guided by University’s Vision and Mission, creates policies conducive to identifying organisational needs and ways of

355

working towards meeting the same with excellence. The Leadership also creates a reciprocal culture of mentorship and regular in-depth feedback from all stakeholders.
