The feedback from students, faculty from other institutions, industry, alumni and parents have been taken before designing new courses.The feedback from the Alumni of UG and PG prompted the beginning of BA Honours in Journalism and the new triple major combination of Media Studies, Economics and Political Science. Survey of courses offered in other universities and discussions/workshops with the subject experts and industry help to visualise the structure of the course. The newly designed course, after detailed discussions in the Department is usually sent to the external experts for their suggestions and feedback. The newly designed courses with the suggestions of the external stakeholders are presented in the Board of Studies and Academic Council for further approval. As part of the curriculum expectation and feedback BA MEP and Journalism (Honors) students are required to fill in an online survey which helps in strategizing guest lectures, workshops, associations, events, seminars and other academic activities for the students during the academic year. 42. Does the department obtain feedback from a. faculty on curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation? If yes, how does the department utilize the feedback?

Through the project on “An Evaluation of Eco and Sustainable Practices of selected Resorts in Karnataka”, it was found that both public sector and private sector resorts has vast scope to contribute to local communities rights and benefits, involvement of local community in resort activities and thereby supporting the local economy. The Resorts are also required to promote and support local culture and tradition by hosting cultural activities in the resorts. This study also found that there is no much difference in the environmental conservation practices between public and private sector resorts. However public sector resorts are found to be doing better in the aspects of benefits to local community, promotion of local culture. This study also suggested various measures to resorts, government and NGOs to promote and ensure sustainability in tourism activities and also for the success of sustainable ecotourism in Karnataka. Research on “Strategic intervention of Destination Management Organizations to Enhance Competitiveness of Tourism Destinations “identifies the need for creating a rationale foundation with a collective marketing and management effort for the destinations. Output of the study specifies, destination management systems like DMOs reallocate the supremacy of key stakeholders for the common good. Study on “A Study on the Investor Behavior on the Investment Pattern – based on Psychoanalytical Approach” aimed at how psychology affects the behavioral patterns of investors. It is an effort to know the role of cognitive and emotional forces in economic decisions. A careful study on the investment analysis and portfolio management can provide a sound framework for managing and investing wealth.
