Annexure 3. A

Best Practice I

1. Title of the Practice: To enhance the communication & Soft skills of the Students.

2. Goal : To bring about personality Development with regard to different behavioural factors.

3. The Context

Communication & Soft skills training have become an imperative in the present scenario. The

employment prospects of the present-day students are inextricably bound with their awareness of

globally relevant soft skills and ability to speak English in the process of inculcating and

acquiring soft skills. To inject professional advancements in to their minds workforce groups

have been encouraged with globally required skills besides indigenous culture.

4. The Practice

In order to impart the Communication & Soft skills to the students, constant training support has

been provided for all the UG and PG programs. Wherein, students are internally trained in

functional English, soft skills, and Reasoning, Aptitude and Interview skills. Even in

Departmental Activities also the top priority to communication skills have been given by

conducting activities like JAM, and GD’s.

5. Evidence of Success

The above practices resulted in the development of healthy competition among the students and

they voluntarily participated actively in Group Discussions, Seminars and in Role plays resulting

in the increase the percentage of placements is the evidence of success.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Many students coming from varied backgrounds are not well versed in the Professional

communication skills, so it becomes a herculean task for the faculty, to inculcate the Awareness

needed to create interest among the students towards English communication, So as to make them

understand the importance of communication in the present scenario, the Institute has providing

the English training program in the first year itself for developing the communication Skills of

the students using resources like language lab. By initiating the program in the first year the

students get to know the prerequisites for getting successfully placed at a very early stage so that

they have ample time to tune themselves to the modes of success.

7. Notes (Optional)

Oral Feedback is being given to the students on every activity on their performance in Group

Discussions, Seminars, and also on their etiquettes so as to make them as a real professional.

Annexure 3. B

Best Practice II

1. Title of the Practice: Participative Management

2. Goal

To promote in the faculty a sense of belongingness and responsibility for the overall development

of the college through collaborative and participative management, the faculty are oriented and

motivated to plan, organize and implement activities.

3. The Context

Positive attitude among the employees is the key factor for a successful organization. The sense

of belongingness is the base for building positive attitude in an employee by which the employee

is being motivated to take up responsibility for the effective functioning of the Institution. This is

a challenging issue to any Institution. Employees coming from different backgrounds are to be

tuned to the vision of the Institute. To build the belongingness towards Institute is done by the

delegation of the responsibilities.

4. The Practice

For the overall administration of the institution, there are several requirements that need to be

planned and addressed effectively. Generally, the overall responsibility for this lies with the

Principal of the college, who, along with a team of administrative staff, attempt to execute the

same. Moreover, such an approach tends to isolate individual faculty members from the overall

institutional challenges for the fail to identify themselves in suitable assistive roles. The practice

at VIIT College has been to draw in all its faculty members into different administrative roles so

that each and every faculty of the college feels responsible for the overall success of the

institution. The faculty are therefore grouped into various committees each headed by a senior

faculty member who serves as convener of the committee. The following are some of the major

committees of the college:

Apex committees

1) Governing Body.

2) Strategy Development Committee.

Other committees

1) Purchase committee

2) Department Development Committee.

3) Finance committee

4) Research Committee

5) Examination and Evaluation Committee

6) Admissions and student welfare Committee

7) Faculty Recruitment Committee

8) Training and placement committee

9) Infrastructure Committee

10) IT infrastructure Committee/ Web site committee

11) Library Committee

12) Hostel management Committee

13) Student council / Student Activity Committee (co-curricular and Extracurricular activites)

14) Discipline Committee

15) Grievance & Redress Cell

16) Anti-ragging Committee

17) Women Protection/Empowerment Committee

18) IQAC committee

19) Canteen committee

20) Transport committee

21) Press and Media committee

22) Alumni committee

The members for these committees are drawn from all the Departments of the Institution. The

Principal is being nominated as Chairperson for all these committees. The members of each of

these committees meet on a regular basis to plan, coordinate and implement various

developmental activities under their purview. The challenge faced in such an approach is to bring

all faculty involved onto a common platform to be able to appreciate the overall vision of the

institution and identify what needs to be done in their respective domains that would enhance the

performance of the institution.

5. Evidence of Success

The benefits of deep delegation understandably are reflected in the ability of the system in

adapting to changes at short notices. Sense of belongingness, pride and a feel of ownership

naturally lead to improve social networking and job satisfaction. It is very difficult to quantify the

benefits of participative management, if there is one metric, we believe, it is the reputation, rating

and recognition the institution is enjoying among its stake holding groups in particular and the

society at large. The following are the outcomes that are observed

1. Improved volunteerism

2. High levels of team spirit

3. Shared vision

4. Increased organizational ability

5. Shared quality consciousness

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

One of the biggest challenges in this endeavour has been identified, is to bring the entire faculty

on board to equally appreciate the task at hand and deliver effectively. All faculties are part of this

effort beginning from the most newly recruited to the senior-most. Orientation programs are

initiated for the faculty to appreciate the challenges on hand. Though it is a critical task, it greatly

helps capacity building for the system. Faculty at all levels learns to appreciate the challenges

faced in administration thus fostering a sense of belongingness and team-spirit.
