Best Practice 1

Title of the Practice: Initiatives towards women empowerment

Objectives of the Practice

  • To increase employability and earning potential.
  • To improve their performance by improving work quality.
  • To develop pupils’ personalities and increase their social standing.
  • To cultivate and reinforce entrepreneurial qualities

The Context

Women’s empowerment entails liberating women from the vicious circle of social, political, economic, and gender-based discrimination. It is critical for them to be trained in order to better serve their family at home and professionally. Women’s economic involvement and empowerment are critical to strengthening women’s rights and allowing them to have control over their life and have influence in society. Skill development not only creates job prospects but also empowers people. Women, when given the correct opportunities and exposure, may excel in any industry. Such skill development activities are held for students on a regular basis in college to implant the necessary skills and abilities in order to shape their overall personality.

The Practice

By empowering young women, skill development training programs aim to provide skills to improve employability, boost confidence, and earn cash in order to achieve economic and social independence. Associations/cells/clubs are tasked with carrying out training programs such as certificate courses, workshops, demonstrations, hands-on training, contests, and awareness lectures to improve employable skills. The women’s development cell supervises the plan of action.

Various programs were held with the active participation of the AWWC, WDC, and College, such as a one-day picnic at Mandvi Resort, Virar, Christmas Eve, and New Year celebration, “Nakshatra” An Exhibition for Ladies Celebrating Women’s Day, Joy of giving drive, Unequal Pay: Gender Discrimination at Work Place, sessions on ‘Smart Girls’.

Evidence of Success

  • “Nakshatra” An Exhibition for ladies Celebrating Women’s Day- Business opportunities provided to females including college students wherein they put up their stalls and revenue was generated out of it. The event attracted approximately 1000 women from all over Mumbai.
  • “Unequal Pay: Gender Discrimination at Work Place”- Everyone was educated on unconscious gender bias. Raising awareness about gender equality in the workplace, taking into account everyone’s requirements, and providing equal chances, promotions, and awards for women. More than 250 attendees actively participated, and Gender equality was encouraged.
  • Smart Girl Program- Educating girls on self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-defense, as well as communication and other life skills. Making them more self-aware. This webinar inspired and encouraged 58 students who participated in this program.
  • Women’s Day Special Workshop- Women with baking abilities are not limited to working at home. Rather, there are numerous job opportunities available. Furthermore, this workshop assisted approximately 350 women in improving their bakery and culinary skills.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

  • The humble and quiet students were afraid to cross academic boundaries, limiting the success of awareness initiatives.
  • Ensuring faculty members’ overall support and participation in the programs is a difficult task.
  • Female faculty members must handle students’ impulsiveness on love concerns in adolescence.
  • Organizing multiple programs during working hours has hampered classwork.

 

 

Best Practice 2

Title of the Practice:
Initiatives for holistic development in tune with vision and mission

Objectives of the Practice

  • To categorically improve academic performance among kids by providing enough exposure.
  • To instill empathy and teamwork in students in order to help them become respectable individuals.
  • To complete student’s entrepreneurial expertise and assist them in their future endeavours.

The Context

For this best practice we aimed to address the following challenges:

  1. To spread awareness of the necessity for the environment for human survival and to instill the concept of sustainable resource usage in students.
  2. To encourage the use of creative thinking, develop problem-solving attitude, and start ventures.
  3. To provide opportunities to conduct research.
  4. To improve the skills of students, various skill development activities are to be conducted on campus.
  5. To collaborate with other institutes for different courses.

The Practice

Comprehensive student development needs coordinated efforts at multiple levels by staff, students, and other stakeholders. It involves not only fundamental teaching-learning activities, but also a myriad of other endeavors such as co-curricular/extra-curricular activities, extension programs, student participation in college events, expert speeches, helpful infrastructural and ICT resources, and faculty engagement.

The institute not only focuses on academic development but also takes various initiatives in their social and other development as follows;

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Teachers can only motivate students and create conditions for holistic growth; yet, this strategy demands students’ self-determination and initiative to be successful. Teachers and students have formed a relationship over time that allows them to contribute to their entire growth. The development of this coordination is a repeating component, as new students are enrolled to first-year each year and must become acquainted with this approach. Nonetheless, it is a very effective and fruitful mutual learning process for both teachers and students.
