Shri Shivaji College for Quality Excellence and Social Commitment 3
M. S. P. Mandal’s Shri Shivaji College, Parbhani Self -Study Report 3rd Cycle
(A) Preface

M.S.P. Mandal‘s Shri Shivaji College was assessed and
accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council
(NAAC), Bangalore in December, 2003 and awarded ‗B+‘ Grade with
Institutional Score of 75.50 on 8th January, 2004. The Internal Quality
Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established on the recommendations of
the Peer Team for enhancing the quality of academics in the college.
In February, 2011, the college was assessed and accredited for its
second cycle by NAAC, Bangalore. NAAC awarded ‗A‘ Grade to the
college with 3.06 CGPA.

The college offers BA, B.Com, B.Sc., BBA, BCA, B. Sc. (CS) at
UG level and PG (MA, M.Sc., M.Com) in 11 subjects. In addition to
three recognized research centres the college also has Ph. D.
supervisors in 9 other subjects. There is also a wide range of add on
certificate courses. Thus the college provides students with wide
academic flexibility from undergraduate to research level in Arts,
Commerce and Science faculties. All the programmes are directed
towards realization of our Mission and achieving our objectives, in
keeping with the values of Marathwada Shikshan Prasarak Mandal,
Aurangabad (MSPM), as propounded by its founders. The college is
among Top Ten Colleges in Marathwada Region.

During the past few years, PTR recommendations were
attended to and the college has made tireless efforts to comply with
those recommendations and in addition more efforts have been taken
in that regard. The PTR allowed the college to introspect and
improve on quality parameters. A more functional IQAC with
defined roles and responsibilities was a major initiative taken by the
college. More teachers were involved in preparing the SSR along
with the IQAC. Introspections and discussions amongst teachers
have helped in preparing a precise Self Study Report (SSR).

The college has witnessed many changes during the last five years.
Some experienced teachers retired and the next generation of
teachers have taken over the responsibility of carrying forward the
tradition and legacy of the college. Some new add on certificate
courses were initiated and are being conducted successfully. This has
Shri Shivaji College for Quality Excellence and Social Commitment 4
M. S. P. Mandal’s Shri Shivaji College, Parbhani Self -Study Report 3rd Cycle
also given an opportunity to invite and interact with experts from
various fields who shared their knowledge and helped in expanding
our academic horizons and enhancing the overall quality of teaching-
learning. Resource mobilization from various funding agencies was
taken up as a major strategy to improve the infrastructure, augment
teaching-learning facilities and allocate projects to students to make
learning more ‗student centric‘.

In 2012, the college was awarded with “Best College Award”
(Urban) by Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University,
Nanded. Recently in April 2016, the college is awarded the status of
„College with Potential for Excellence‟ by the UGC, which will give
impetus to all the activities of the college. This motivates teachers to
march towards excellence by redefining the teaching-learning
process.

Research endeavours have been geared up in the last five
years with increased participation of students and teachers in
research with a greater number of major and minor research projects
being funded by funding agencies. The NSS, NCC and other
outreach activities are taking place in collaboration with more NGOs
for more effective and meaningful community service. These
programmes have sensitised students and provided opportunities
for experiential learning.

A Language Laboratory has been set up for enhancing
communication skills and is being utilized by the department of
English. A dedicated ‗Training, Placement and Career Counselling
Cell‘ has also been established to address all issues related to student
placements. IT infrastructure is being continually improved, with
voice and data connectivity available all around the campus. All the
departments are connected with internet through a lease line. A new
ETH system has been implemented for streamlining administrative
and academic procedures.

The college also took consistent efforts to address women
empowerment issues through several gender sensitization initiatives
over the years. As a result Department of Higher and Technical
Education, Government of Maharashtra has appreciated and
awarded the college with its State Level Jagar Janivancha Award

worth Rs. 4,50,000. However the quest for quality excellence and
social commitment remain the same.

The preparation of SSR involved a new team and they have
taken efforts to prepare the SSR. The SSR includes the Preface,
Executive Summary, SWOC of the institution, Profile of the college,
Criterion wise inputs, Post Accreditation Initiatives, Evaluative
Reports of the Departments and Annexures. The SSR has been
shared with major stake holders including teachers, students and the
management at every stage of its preparation and finalization.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to each
and every individual colleague for their valuable contribution in
preparing the SSR. I express my deep sense of gratitude to the
Chairman of the Governing Body of MSPM, Hon‘ble Prakashdada
Solanke for his undaunted support in all the endeavours of the
college. Shri. Hemant Jamkar (Head, LMC) and members of LMC
have always been a source of support and inspiration. I am also
thankful to Hon‘ble Satishbhau Chavan (Member, Maharashtra
Legislative Council) Secretary, MSPM for his whole hearted support.
I would also like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the IQAC
members and all seven Criteria In-Charges, Vice-Principals Dr. S. N.
Keshatti and Dr. V. S. Nandapurkar, Heads of Departments and all
teachers / staff members for their support in our journey towards
excellence. The IQAC Co-ordinator, Dr. Rohidas Nitonde has played
a pivotal role in propagating quality initiatives in the college and
rejuvenating IQAC. Mr. Vijay More, Registrar and his team have
responded very well and worked very efficiently in providing data
to the IQAC. I am extremely happy that the entire work of
preparation of SSR has helped in defining policies, strategies,
systems and procedures in a better way to serve as a blueprint for
further growth and development of the college.
