5.6 Details of student counselling and career guidance

1. Counseling Cell had started ‘Personal Counseling’ from the month of August. 14 students approached counseling with the issues related with exam fear, difficulties in studies, adjustment problems, suicidal tendencies and career guidance. Volunteers of TISS helped a lot in some of these sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, REBT and Robert Clarkhoff model was practiced for our students.

2. To encourage the sensitivity about society and to get better understanding of social issues we suggested our students to do research. Our students were motivated to select a topic and to conduct surveys and interviews. We are happy that our students utilized their vacation fruitfully and 10 of our students submitted there researches when college was reopened. Single Parenting, Marital attitude, Addiction and many more interesting topics were handled by our students.

3. On the 20th September we had conducted stress buster activity in campus. This activity was filled with energy booster exercise and several games such as Word Puzzles, Memory Game, Color Word game, Role play, tie knot in 30 seconds etc. It was exam time which was very tough time for students. These activities were used as a therapy. Students were very happy with these exercises. Near about 250 to 300 students were the beneficiaries of this activity.

4. A small workshop on the topic of creative visualization was conducted. As per the famous saying ‘If you can visualize then you can actualize’. To help the students to get internalized and to dream about their future and motivate them to work accordingly this workshop was conducted. Initially session began with relaxation exercises, and then they were helped to think about their own future. Students were then helped to set professional goals, personal goals, family goals, societal goals etc. All were happy after this exercise.

5. Counseling cell runs ‘Entrepreneurship Development Program’. Students were given a chance to try their Entrepreneurship skills in college itself. It was announced that student who will gain maximum profit will be given a prize. More than 75 stalls were put up. These stalls were selling food items, gift articles, artifacts made by them. Mehendi, nail art and tattoo making stalls were also there. This year adventurous games were also put up, which received tremendous response from students.

6. On 8th December we conducted advanced stress buster activity. This was very much different from the previous one which we had conducted in campus. This time we came up with the new techniques and games, few of them were Draw the fact of stress on paper, Symptoms of stress, Chits of stress etc. Motive behind this activity was to help the students to understand and to get an awareness about the stress and how it is caused, they really got to know about stressors, the stimulus which is actually causing stress. It was very much interactive. As a counselor we got to know many more causes which are acting as stressors on our students.

7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection

7.5 Whether environmental audit was conducted? Yes No

7.6 Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT Analysis)

Our college is one of the few colleges in Mumbai which has a large campus and hence many tress have been planted. The trees have been numbered by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. We have Waste management project where canteen waste is managed by trained

workers of Parisar Vikas Project run by Stree Mukti Sangathana. The manure is used for college garden.

Awareness activities regarding environment are conducted by different departments through poster, elocution, essay and other competitions, field trips etc.

NSS students create environmental awareness in their adopted areas and college. NCC students also have environment theme based cycle rallies and competitions

Strengths:

1. Students though belonging to low socio-economic strata are sincere and hardworking with an urge to learn. 2. Our College is located in Mumbai where space constraint is high but we do

have enough space to expand. 3. Good infrastructure facilities like class rooms, labs, equipments, computers. 4. Teachers are dedicated to cater to the extra needs of our students. 5. Well qualified, experienced teachers. 6. Optimum utilization of college resources by other educational bodies and

other agencies. 7. Enthusiastic student participation in co-curricular and extra- curricular

activities. 8. Our NSS & NCC units are working well & have won various awards. Weaknesses: a. The students belong to families from low socio-economic strata hence

parents are unable to provide a support system at home. b. Most of the students are from vernacular medium. c. We have land available but finance and permissions for expansion from

various agencies is difficult and time consuming. d. Research culture among the faculty needs to be enhanced further. e. Students need to work due to economic compulsion, which impact their

attendance and results. Opportunities: 1. Creating employable and responsible citizens from students belonging to an

area which has the lowest Human Development Index in Maharashtra State ( 2011 Report )

2. By introducing courses which are industry and service sector oriented, we intend to create more employment opportunities for the students.

3. Availability of space for expansion. Threats: 1. It is difficult to provide personal attention to the students as the students

strength decided by University of Mumbai is 120-140 in a class. 2. Attracting students with high percentage from the same locality.

Best Practices of BMM

1. Title of the Practice: Increase English Literacy Skills of Bachelor of Mass Media

students to improve Examination Answer writing.

2. Goals: Increase English Literacy Skills particularly writing skills of weak

students/Increase Confidence of students/Improve Results in Exams.

3. The Context : Bachelor of Mass Media course introduced from the academic year

2000-2001, by the University of Mumbai.· It has been designed to provide

students with a firm grounding in communication skills.· It aims to develop an

ability for critical thinking and creativity and to give the students an opportunity

to combine the theoretical curriculum with practical applications, through

detailed research, lucid writing skills, oral presentation skills and a· mastery of

various mass communications media in our global information age.

The Bachelor of Mass Media Program of the College attracted students but many

of them are from the Vernacular Medium with poor English Comprehension and

writing skills. This leads to them not understanding the subjects taught in the

classroom, learning by rote, poor answers in final Exams and increased failure

and dropout rate. Considering that Levels of English literacy in the class is varied,

and also at extreme levels with some students at a higher comprehension and

capacity level, Lecturers found it difficult to find an appropriate level for

teaching.

In the year 2013-14 we encountered a large number of failures in the College

Exams. In the year 2014-2015 we initiated the English Remedial Classes with the

help of an External Vendor. The Context was =

This is not a general spoken English program of conversational English.

They should be able to read their text books and comprehend advanced

English in their respective subjects.

Kindly make them read aloud from their text books and explain the

meanings of what they have read, then sit and rewrite it in their own words

without referring to the book.

They have poor self-learning skills and poor grammar and composition.

How to write Answers to Exam questions is an important outcome for the

Program.

English literacy should be related to the Subjects concerned.


4. The Practices :

a. N.G.Acharya & D.K.Marathe College of Arts, Science & Commerce tied up with

a Vendor to deliver the courses. The Vendor is actively concerned with the

Teach India Program for spoken English. She was happy to assist us in our

goals for a fixed fee. The course was marketed primarily to First Year Bachelor

of Mass Media Students

The Innovative Practice involved various steps.

Selection of students based on their speaking and writing Skills as

observed by the Lecturer in the Classroom

Connecting with Vendors with Capability and Commitment to deliver the

Courses.

Pricing the Courses based on students capacity to pay

Marketing the Courses to Parents/students- Parents advised that student

is weak in written English Communication. Framing of answers etc and

may fail in the Exams if these skills are not enhanced. Parents made aware

of the goals of the course and outcomes for the same.

Ensuring highest level of Coordination for attendance to the Course by

Prof.Poonam Chindarkar

Evaluation of written work of the students by the Vendor and

communicating how it could be better.

Grammar and Composition Testing by giving subject tests to the students

and evaluation by the Vendor

Motivating students to Score Well in the Class Exams

It’s quite a challenge for some students to do both the regular curriculum

and also attend the English Literacy Program Program.

5. Evidence of Success: Success is measured on three parameters by us

a. English Literacy of students have increased as evidenced by interactivity in

the Class

b. Results in Exams conducted by the College- As compared to 2013-2014, the

students have faired better in the internal College Exams of 2014-2015

( number of subjects in which failed has reduced)- Dropout rate reduced

c. Confidence- Students from Vernacular medium have greater confidence to

deal with creativity, innovation and communication required for the Bachelor

of Mass Media Course.


6. Problems Encountered:

a. Creating Awareness- Parents were not sure how this course can increase

their written English Communication Skills & how it can improve their

performance in Exams. The Lecturers were required to make personal calls

and explain the purpose of these courses, and Value to the students.

b. Costs of the Course-Some families could not afford the Course
