1.4.2 – How the feedback obtained is being analyzed and utilized for overall development of the institution? (maximum 500 words) Feedback Obtained

Curriculum is an essential and most important foundation of an academic institute or university. The purpose of Feedback Policy and Proceduresis to provide a framework for producing, capturing, summarizing and documenting information onfeedback of different stakeholders viz students, faculty members, alumni and employers on quality and effectiveness of the different curricula and academic/administrative processes and overall environment of Manav Rachna International Institute of Research Studies (MRIIRS). A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on “Feedback on Curricula” has been formulated with an aim to bring the analysis report of feedback and assessment of present courses in any program which is synonymous with the needs of the Institution under its ambit.

Combination of Feedback of faculty members, employer, alumni along with the Student feedback constitutes the comprehensive and robust system which help Department to develop quality curricula which meets market demand. Feedback on curricula and generic facilities from students and faculty members is collected twice a year, whereas feedback from parents, alumni and employers is collected once a year. After receiving feedback through EMS including Student Satisfaction Survey about curriculum, pedagogy delivery, student support, common utilities like hostel, library services, transport, internship and placements, extra-curricular activities, personality enhancement measures from the current students and other stakeholders like alumni, industry experts, recruiters, and in-house faculty alike an in-depth analysis of all issues is carried out exhaustively with an aim to factor in the emerging observations.

Student Satisfaction Survey responses elicited from students is granularized into 13 items pertaining to curriculum and 12 items on common utilities besides feedback on classroom teaching effectiveness. Similarly feedback responses are obtained from other stakeholders like in-house faculty, employers and alumni.

The observations / criticism / endorsement / appreciation are thoroughly dissected by the committee and corrective measures initiated. In subsequent meetings, Action Taken Reports are closely monitored to ensure speedy midcourse correction. Besides the above feedback from stake holders, a feedback by

students on delivery of the courses is also taken twice in every semester and the mid-course corrections as deemed appropriate are incorporated. The reports compiled by the respective Heads of the Departments on suggestion and recommendations given by the stake holders with regards to start of new courses including value added courses, revision in course and other curricular aspects are sent to a committee on “Feedback on Curricula” for its further recommendations with course of action to be taken up by the IQAC followed by respective department in its BoS and for final approval by Academic Council. In order to arrive at the optimal solutions, benchmarking is carried out with the best practices engaged in the institutions of excellence in the country and abroad. Periodic meetings are held by Deans of the Departments to review the Action Taken Report by HODs and a final Report is submitted to the “Feedback committee on Curricula”. HODs also garner viewpoints from Student Representatives about the efficacious implementation of solutions to their observations received in the earlier feedbacks.

(maximum 500 words) Student mentoring, counseling and guidance are important pillars of student support services. The students need this support to overcome their personal, social and academic problems which may affect their progress. An

independent well-coordinated student mentoring system is in place at MRIIRS as per the laid down Policy of Student mentorship. MRIIRS has implemented vertical mentoring system from AY 2019-20 onwards throughout the university. Each vertical mentor group includes random students from each batch of a particular programme.

This has introduced a two-stage mentoring- first is mentor to vertical mentees and second is peer mentoring (mentoring by senior students). With peer group vertical mentoring, the senior students take responsibility for induction of junior students and positive relationship gets flourished between them. - Mentors at Department level: Each department of the University has a well entrenched student mentoring mechanism. Each faculty member is allocated with 20-30 students under the mentoring system. - Faculty Mentors conduct regular meetings with the students at least every fortnight to discuss their Academic progress, participation in other activities or any other issue. - A complete track of the student activities like Academic, Co-curricular, Extra Curricular achievements, Social activities and the details of Parents Meetings are registered in the system. - Any discrepancy in the student behavior like short attendance, poor performance in academics or any kind of misconduct is analyzed and the students are counseled with care. - Faculty members update regarding such cases to the HOD along with senior professors/faculty members of the department. HOD along with senior professors/faculty members scrutinize critical cases and suggest corrective measures. If necessary, the parents are called for discussions. - Students have an easy access to the Teachers, Course-coordinators, Head of departments, Dean of faculty, Dean-Academics and other concerned functionaries of the University. - Parents are kept in the loop and are periodically updated on their ward’s performance. - Students are always counseled to develop professional competitiveness as well as ethics, human values, sense of social responsibility and environmental consciousness. • Corporate Relations and Career Management Centre (CRCMC) with its two outfits Career Development Centre (CDC) and Corporate Resource Centre (CRC) is mentoring students to equip themselves with market-relevant skills to become more employable. CDC is the training arm of the university taking care of the skill enhancement requirements including Employability, Personal-Productivity, Quality and Managerial Skills which are rated very highly by the corporate world. CRC is the facilitating unit of MRIIRS which engages with the industry, constantly strives for expanding the industry-academia interface and provides a platform to students for their campus placement. • A dedicated service through a counselling-cell addresses to various behavioral problems of students. Sage advice and mentoring by this counselling cell helps young male and female students to sort out issues which they may be reluctant to discuss with their parents in a suggestible phase of life. • Apart from this, a dedicated team of student welfare and Department of Sports provide mentoring and motivational support for overall development of the students.

CRITERION VI – GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT 6.1 – Institutional Vision and Leadership 6.1.1 – Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500 words)

MRIIRS practices decentralization and participative management to improve the efficacy and efficiency of the university system and quality assurance in the services offered by the university. The decentralization of administrative processes is evident from the organizational chart which shows the decisionmaking process. In consonance with this policy, powers have been delegated amongst most of the academic and Teaching/Administrative Departments/Offices, including Research and Development. These academicians and officers meet the Vice-Chancellor as frequently as required to deliberate on academic, administrative and developmental matters. As a matter of fact, an effective internal coordination monitoring system is practiced through the Dean Academic Affairs, Deans of various Faculties, Dean Student Welfare, Heads of the Teaching/Administrative Departments, and other functionaries. Whenever warranted, special committees are constituted to deal with special situations.

The teachers and branch heads of administrative units are motivated to develop inter-departmental linkages for creating a congenial work environment. If any exigency arises, special meetings with the staff are held to discuss and resolve important issues of time-bound nature. The total decision-making process is democratic and decentralized which ensures continuous interaction

between the teachers and other staff and the administration. This work approach promotes healthy coordination among various academic and administrative units of the institution thereby grooming the leadership at various levels. Examples of practices of decentralization and participative management are listed as: 1.

All Statutory Bodies like Academic Council, Board of Management, Board of Studies, Board of Faculty, Internal Quality Assurance Cell, Finance Committee and other committees with participation of faculty of all cadres at the University and other departmental level are in place. The members of these Bodies and Committees are rotated after regular intervals as per guidelines of the UGC. 2. All efforts for design/changes/improvements of academic (curriculum revision, program scheme revision), teaching-learning (lesson planning, content dissemination) and evaluation processes are initiated and executed by the Boards of Studies comprising faculty at core level in a total participative mode before ratification by the Academic Council. 3. For smooth functioning of individual departments, financial powers have been decentralized. The accounts department seeks the fund requirement from various departments of the university for the next financial year. These requirements are compiled at Faculty level and further total budget requirement is prepared centrally at the University level. Allocated funds approved by the Board of Management for the Financial Year under various Heads are communicated to all Faculties/Department/Sections. The funds so allocatedare bifurcated at Faculty/department level as per the requirement/demand of funds raised byindividual department for the given financial. 4. All purchase requirements for lab equipment’s/ software’s/ learning resources/ library resources along with specifications based on quality consideration are initiated by the teaching faculty and associated staff. This demand is then deliberated in the Planning and Monitoring Board followed by Finance Committee of the University.

Follow up action is implemented after approval by the Deans directly through the purchase department. Thus, purchase of equipment including IT resources goes up without any impediment.

7.2 – Best Practices

7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices

I. Title of the Practice: Inculcating Entrepreneurship in Students II. Objectives of the Practice The principle of this approach is to wean students away from the conventional mindset in the present higher education ecosystem is to get a job after graduation. Objective of this practice comprises the modulation for students to venture on out-of-box thinking and even disruptive thinking to realize their raw ideas. Students are encouraged to dream big and to garner information from Net and other platforms to channelize this raw energy and talents on a path of entrepreneurship. III. The Context i. A trend has set in India wherein a multitude of opportunities are opening up for entrepreneurship and very young students are now taking a crack at it. ii.

Entrepreneurship requires a very fearless approach attendant to unconventional and disruptive thinking. In today’s world there is a cross-domain movement in the practice of entrepreneurship. Area of entrepreneurship is not specified to any one discipline or domain. So students are guided to pursue their innate ideas without let or hindrance. This thus, requires courage and an unconventional approach to venture out on a path of entrepreneurship which is out of place with commonplace thinking. IV. The Practice MRIIRS has innovation and entrepreneurship as principle ingredients of its knowledge dissemination, training and mentoring. To this end: i. MRIIRS has Research Innovation Clusters (RICS), Research Incubator (RI), Business Incubator (BI), Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell and Centres of Excellence (CEs) in collaboration with Industry leaders: ? Mitsubishi Electric Centre ? Automotive Research Centre (Honda Motors) ? Advanced Water Technology Management Centre ? IBM Centre ?

Sports Science Centre ? Research and innovation Clusters enables students to venture out on a path of research and innovation. There are eight such clusters, these clusters provide all facilities for students to transform their ideas into a tangible shape through Research and Innovation.Research and innovation Clusters plays an important role in igniting students to start about moving on a research and innovation trajectory. ? Deploying collaboration with different industry leaders, five Centres of excellence have been set up to facilitate students to acquire hand-on experience on contemporary industry practices, hone up their skills towards innovation and enterprise. ? Through RI, BI, IPR Cell students receive an all-important exposure, mentoring and guidance to get into the area of research. ii. MRIIRS has been granted financial support of Rs. 2.87 Cr from DST-NESTEDB, Govt. of India for setting up Manav Rachna New Generation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (MR NewGen-IEDC) in the campus to nurture student-entrepreneurial ventures. V. Evidence of Success i. 16 start-ups are being incubated or have been incubated out of which 12 start-ups under NewGen IEDC-DST sponsored projects are in progress. ii. More than 76 Alumni started their ventures out of which 23 ventures are running successfully. Some notable operational start-ups under Manav Rachna Business Incubator (MRBI) and MR NewGen-IEDC are as under: Under MRBI: ? Techno Planet Lab Private Limited ? Hyfn Games Private Limited ?

Tricho Agronica Private Limited ? Parimukh Innovations Private Limited Under MR NewGen-IEDC ? Aarkaya Solar Solutions Private Limited ? Tackyon Motor Sports Private Limited ? Nature’s Drop ? Greenity ? Campus Dock ? Vagabond Brains ?

GeAr (Smart Watch) ? ThapKrida ? Naturoplasts ? TFT Innovation ? Med Life Care ? Night Labs (Hel-tech) VI. Problems Encountered and Resources Required i) This practice call for a change of mind set from routine class room teaching to expending efforts in the incubation center, so time management becomes a constraint. However necessary encouragement and guidance from faculty have mitigated this problem considerably. ii) Students have to reschedule their timetable to trade-off between their classroom commitments, examinations and engagement towards their entrepreneurial endeavors. iii) Although MRIIRS infrastructure and learning resources and labs are very well equipped, advanced testing computational apps, softwares, instrumentation as a resource are also a

requirement. 2. Best Practice 1. Title of the Practice: Concern for Environmental Sustainability 2. Objectives of the Practice i) To sensitize students to the most debilitating challenge of environmental degradation and risk to ecology. ii) To provide experiential learning for students in respect of social and technological aspects of environmental sustainability. 3. The Context i) Global warming, forest fires, frequent cyclones and ravaging floods in recent times are an ominous warning of environmental degradation and its consequences. ii) While economic development holds the key for the mankind, its deleterious effect is to increase air pollution, global warming, destruction of natural environment because of vehicular emissions, carbon footprint, energy use, food production and other reasons. 4. The Practice i) MRIIRS has a lush green campus with its verdant surroundings spread over 79056.64 sqm. with hundreds of plants and trees. Solar power complements the total power supply to meet the power requirement while LED devices and sensor-controlled electric appliances are notable features to ensure an efficient power consumption system and use of renewable energy sources. ii) The entire campus abounds in plants and trees which leaves an abiding impression with students about the criticality of tree plantation in our lives, national development and global environmental sustainability. The entire campus boasts of abundant growth of plants and trees which leaves an abiding impression with students about the criticality of tree plantation in our lives, national development and global environmental sustainability. It is a well-established practice in MRIIRS to plant a number of trees on any occasion of significance like Independence Day, Republic Day, Founder’s Day, Teachers’ Day and like that. iii) Horticulture is another environmental practice which is accorded high priority in MRIIRS. Solid, liquid, biomedical and E-waste management practices are adhered to not only for a clean and safe environment but also for involvement of students.

Rain water harvesting, biogas plant, waste water recycling are other features which are a part of this practice. 5. Evidence of Success Evidence of Success i) An aesthetically most appealing campus with widespread spick and span environment which is sustained throughout the year is a strong testimony of progress made by the University in this practice. Further, role of students cannot be overemphasized in this endeavor. They are now fully clued up on the critical importance of environmental sustainability. MRIIRS has been very frequently the recipient of awards by the regulatory and other civic bodies.

MRIIRS has been awarded “One Student One Tree” recognition by the AICTE. Further, University has conducted several plantation drives in Faridabad district for conserving the Mother Earth. As a letter of appreciation, Village Sarpanch has given certificates for these drives. ii) It is a measure of success and encouragement that MRIIRS has set up an Advanced Water Technology Management Centre of Excellence. This Centre comprises of pool of professionals from the field of Geology, Hydrogeology, Environment, Biotechnology, Civil Engineering etc. This Centre carries out research in water domain- the most critical factors for the growth and sustenance of life on this planet. The Centre aims to address water challenges faced by local community that have formidable scientific implications and significant practical relevance. It envisage providing a platform for the development, appropriate application of water technology, water quality analysis, conservation and management through latest tools, technologies and strategies for sustainable development and outreach through knowledge to the stakeholders. This Centre has been engaged by the local Faridabad Administration for revival of Badhkal Lake in Faridabad as a very prestigious project. iii) The Centre has been allocated WASH Project awarded by National Institute of Urban Affairs(NIUA), funded by USAID involving a funding of Rs. 23.20 lakhs to undertake various activities pertaining to water, sanitation and hygiene sectors. It also involved capacity building of MCF officials in domain of Rain Water Harvesting and Waste Water recycling. A DPR regarding rejuvenation of Nangla –Gujran Pond has also been undertaken. iv) An Air Quality Monitoring Lab supported by DST, Govt of India has been

established at MRIIRS. v) The Centre has also undertaken Research Projects awarded by DST, GoI to not only bring awareness about water quality but also to develop hands on skill for drinking water safety and its conservation entitled: • Communicating science through model water eco health clinic for quality of life.(Rs 22.61lacs) • Eco Next Talent Hunt For Eco Smart Youth Leadership And Competence Development Of Young Change Makers Based On Eco Eureka And E3 Next Training In Rural And Urban Haryana. (Rs 21.53 lacs) vi) The Centre has also worked with MCF and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) regarding the storm water management in Faridabad Smart city. Some 15 hotspots have been identified and are under consideration for technological intervention for artificial recharge.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required i) A change of mindset is imperative in the Government agencies to realize the importance of environmental sustainability and the perils resulting from risk of ecology. ii) It is taxing on students and faculty to take out time from their rigorous academic schedule. iii) The Government and non-Government bodies have to be forthcoming with support grants to fortify our research activities Upload details of two best practices successfully implemented by the institution as per NAAC format in your institution website, provide the link
