PART II: EVALUATIVE REPORT
A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Walchand College of Arts and Science, Solapur is managed
by the Trust, Shri Aillak Pannalal Digambar Jain Pathashala,
Solapur. The Trust was founded in 1885 by Seth Hirachand
Nemchand with a view to nurture and promote ‘Shraman
Culture’ and to boost value-based education. The Pathashala has
been catering to the educational and cultural needs of the society
for the last 125 years with a motto ‘Shikshan Haach Dharma’, i.e.
Education is Commitment. Our students, educated through the
five-point formula of Knowledge, Character, Love, Management
and Service, are well-known in the society as men of calibre,
culture and character with an awareness of their social
accountability. The Pathashala keeps pace with time in the
changing scenario of the educational field, both at national and
international levels. The Trust runs different educational
institutions; Walchand College of Arts and Science, Solapur is
one of them.
Walchand College of Arts and Science, Solapur was
established as ‘Sholapur College, Sholapur’ on 8th July 1962 with
Arts, Science and Commerce faculties. However, in the year
58
1972, the Commerce faculty was separated into Hirachand
Nemchand College of Commerce, Solapur. In 1979 Sholapur
College, Sholapur was renamed as Walchand College of Arts
and Science, Solapur at the auspicious hands of the then
Member of Parliament and stalwart politician Shri Atalbihari
Vajpayee. The College imparts education in Arts and Science to
the students of Under Graduation. The Post Graduation in Social
Work was initiated in 1970 with a view to enable the students of
this region to pursue higher studies in Social Work. In addition,
the P.G. in Marathi, Economics, English and Sociology were also
started in the year 1987. The College embarked upon a new
academic adventure by beginning B.Sc. Biotechnology (Entire) in

In keeping with the Goals and Objectives of the Trust, the
College runs various programmes. We offer Under Graduate

Probe 1.
The College was assessed and accredited by the NAAC Peer Team constituted by Prof
H.S.Soch, the Chairperson, Dr R.M.Chidambaram, the Member Coordinator and Prof
K.S.Narsimhan, the Member. The Peer Team visited the College between 2nd and 4th August
2004. The College was awarded B++ grade. The Peer Team forwarded its observations and
recommendations (printed in Italics through out the Report under Probes) for quality
sustenance and enhancement. (The Peer Team observed that the flexibility in programmes is
much limited, except of course, elective options.) The College has increased the elective
options of Master of Social Work by including ‘Group B Course: Urban and Rural Community
Development & Group E Course: Medical and Psychiatric Social Work in keeping with the
77
dictates of the social set-up in the present.’ (As the curriculum is designed by the University,
the association between the goals and the curriculum is minimum.) Although the association
between the goals and the curriculum is unavoidably minimum, the teachers representing the
college in various curricular bodies of Solapur University take efforts to bridge the institutional
goals and the curriculum designed. (Master of Social Work programme facilitates industrial
neighbourhood networking in the sense that learners of this programme are associated with
industrial houses and N.G.O.s to gain practical exposure.) The Dept of Social Work has been
carrying out its networking with the Central and the State Government enterprises, the
neighbourhood industrial houses and the N.G.O.s. The Departments of Science and Arts do
establish rapport with the industries and socio-administrative departments by virtue of study
tours, excursions and visits. (Though the College has to follow the curriculum designed by
Shivaji University, few faculty members of Geology, Ardhamagadhi, Social Work and
Electronics Departments represent the concerned Boards of Studies and thereby have
opportunities to design curricula to meet the requirements of the learners.) The number of
teachers representing in the concerned Boards of Studies, Solapur University has gone
considerably up and there are teachers who have been appointed Members of Boards of Studies
in other Universities. (The College plans to start ‘Beauty Parlour Course’ and ‘Learning
Communicative English’ from August 2004.) The College had designed these Courses,
however, there were no takers for them; it’s a fact that the College receives a majority of
students who come from the weaker sections of the society. The College has initiated different
courses and programmes during the last five years. Certificate Courses in Remedial English
and Computer Applications in the Field of Social Work for the Part I students of Dept of Social
Work were begun during the academic year 2004-05. A Certificate Course in Management of
Library was run in the year 2004-05. The M.K.C.L sponsored M.S.C.I.T. course for
government employees and students was started in the year 2005-06. Post Graduate Diploma
Course in Computer Applications was brought in during the academic year 2006-07. The
Competitive Examinations Coaching Centre of the College started a Certificate Course in
Career Development for the students of Under Graduation in 2008-09. A training programme
in Global Skills Development Programme was initiated in collaboration with Infosys, Pune in
2008-09.

too are given priority in granting admission. There have been admissions given to the wards of
the parents getting transferred to Solapur.
80
2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs
2.2.1
The students, who aspire for seeking admission to the Dept of Social Work, are assessed for
their knowledge and skills. They are made to face the personal counseling whereby their
communication skills and self-realization are tested, the group discussion in which their
abilities of coordination and socialization are assessed and the personal interviews which
examine their knowledge and aptitude. The Dept of Social Work has experimented with two
Certificate Courses- one in Remedial English and the other in Computer Operations for
bridging the knowledge gap of the students and helping them cope with the programme to
which they are enrolled. The students desiring to seek admission to B.Sc. Biotechnology are
made to take the entrance test. The College is planning to start conducting entrance test for the
students seeking admission to M.A. in Marathi, Hindi, English and Economics.
2.2.2
The slow and the advanced learners are identified by various ways like different classroom
situations, paper reading, tests, competitions and terminal examinations. They are informally
guided by the concerned teachers.
2.2.3
The College conducts terminal examinations and monthly tests. The terminal examinations are
conducted at the end of the first term of the academic year. The question papers are set on the
portions completed by the end of the first term. The Examinations Committee supervises the
conduct of the examinations. Each Department has the record of these examinations. The
students scoring below 25% marks or absenting themselves from the examinations are
identified and they are informally made aware of their lapses.
2.2.4
The students are mentored by the teachers according to the need of the situation. All the
teachers do counsel the students on their academic problems and the ways of improvement.
The Placement Cell of the College has been working in counseling the students by means of
organizing placement camps and guidance by invited counselors. The College is planning to
set up Counseling Committee.
2.2.5
81
The College pays due attention to the differently-abled students by assisting them for smooth
academic transaction. The teachers and non-teaching staff of the College take extra efforts to
care for such students.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process
2.3.1
The College prepares the academic calendar right in the beginning of the academic year. The
calendar consists of the chronological data on the curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities to be conducted during the year along with the approximate period for home &
University examinations. The teachers chalk out the teaching and academic plans, and all the
means of students’ evaluation like tests, practicals, seminars, camps, projects, placements,
survey, study tours and visits too are planned.
2.3.2
The teachers use all the teaching-learning methods for a smooth and comprehensive academic
transaction. The lecture method and the interactive methods are essentially adopted by all the
teachers. There are conducted paper reading sessions and seminars involving students’
participation for assessing their subject comprehension and communication skills. The Dept of
Social Work and some Departments in Science carry out project-based learning method by
means of curricular activities like- field placement, camps, summer placements, micro
planning sessions, seminars, surveys and time-bound programmes in collaboration with the
G.O.s and N.G.O.s. There are Departments, especially in Science, which utilize demonstrative
learning method through practicals and adopt computer-assisted learning method. The ICT
devices are employed wherever necessary by all the Departments. Almost all the Departments
on the campus carry out study tours, industrial visits and excursions for experiential learning.
The volunteers of the N.S.S. Unit are taught the motto ‘Not Me, But You’ by motivating them
into participating in various programmes, rallies, maintenance drives and the annual camp at an
adopted village. The sports persons are honed by coaches for better performances.
The
students of the Competitive Examinations Coaching Centre are trained in their respective
specializations and guidance sessions of the successful candidates are regularly arranged.
82
2.3.3
The College realizes the soul of higher education which essentially consists in a student-centric
process. It has been consistently implementing all possible strategies ensuring the acquisition
of life skills, knowledge management skills and lifelong learning on the part of the students.
All the Departments of the College implement the academic and teaching plan focusing the allround development of the students. The students are exposed to the knowledge management
skills by means of evaluative classroom situations, interactive sessions, paper presentations,
seminars, various competitions, camps, visits, exhibitions, projects, collaborative programmes
undertaken by the Departments. The Placement Cell has organized various drives with a view
to inculcating the skills required for knowledge management. The students of the Dept of
Social Work have a direct social exposure. They enjoy a rapport with the society by means of
the field work, the summer placements, projects and various collaborative programmes. The
N.S.S. Unit of the College nurtures the adaptability and socializing skills of its volunteers. The
annual camp, undertaken at an adopted village by the Unit, witnesses actualization of work
culture through various activities done by the volunteers. The College has been conducting
blood donation camps which witness hundreds of students donating blood as a way of
expressing their social accountability. The Dept of Ardhamagadhi conducts programmes in
inculcating virtues of truth, non-violence, morality, honesty and tolerance. The N.C.C. instills
among the students the sense of fidelity to the motherland and discipline. The Walchand
Alumni Association conducts essay writing competitions and seminars on the eve of the birth
anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Various programmes and guest lectures, the participation of
students in Youth Festival, the Ganesh festival celebrations and the celebrations of the
anniversaries of Lokmanya Tilak, Mahatma Phule, Rajarshee Shahu, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar
and other personages of national dimensions cater to the socio-cultural orientation of the
students. The Dept of Sports motivates the meritorious sportspersons into performing
successfully at different levels of competitions, yet they are taught the all important sporting
spirit which enables a man to take wins and losses neutrally. The students are provided with
spacious Reading Room which runs from morning to evening. The students take advantage of
the treasure of books and periodicals in the Library, and they read and reflect. All these
activities planned and executed under the guidance of the Principal and the Conveners of the
Committees are aimed at allowing the students lifelong learning.
83
2.3.4
The College has fully realized the importance and relevance of the use of modern teaching aids
for effective learning experiences. The Department of Computer accommodates the Internet
facility which is utilized by the students and teachers. The Departments of Science and the
Social Work supplement their transaction with the help of the computer software tools. The
students of Dept of Social Work use video conferencing for interaction with the distant
organizations. The audio-visual aids too are frequently used for productive learning situations.
There are LCD projectors installed in a well-furnished auditorium of the College. The
projectors are used for screening documentaries, feature films, plays and filmed literary works.
2.3.5
The teachers of the College are quite consistent in keeping abreast of the latest development in
their respective disciplines by means of implementing the curricula according to the planning,
participating in the academic activities of the University, presenting papers and participating in
seminars, workshops and symposia, undertaking research, guiding research scholars and
carrying out research projects, publishing research articles and books, attending orientation and
refresher courses, and running various clubs and associations on the campus. There are
teachers who have undertaken interdisciplinary projects. The students are given the benefit of
the upgraded faculty expertise. There are Certificate Courses run in the current areas of
interest. There are organized speeches on the recent developments for the students by the
invited guests. Exhibitions are held in order to channelize the creative and constructive
energies of the students. The Dept of Social Work and the N.S.S. Unit of the College have
always been prone to help the students keep pace with the recent developments in the social
spheres. Different projects, camps and rallies are carried out for the students to benefit from.
The students are inspired into participating in seminars, poster presentations, competitions and
projects. The Annual Magazine ‘Vidyaarayan’ has been an open space for the students’
creative expressions. The poster ‘Shalakaa’ is a forum for students’ succinct writings. The
students with cultural aptitude and sportspersons are sent to participate in competitions
organized at different levels. All in all, the College doesn’t miss out on any opportunity of
upgrading the knowledge of the students.
2.3.6
84
The Departments of Science have been equipped with libraries of their own. The Departmental
libraries are intended to be used as the chief learning resource by both the teachers and
students. The reference books in the Departmental libraries are used by the research scholars of
the College.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
117
2.5.1
The teachers conduct question-answer sessions, paper reading sessions, seminars, tests and
terminal examinations to evaluate the students’ acquisition of the subject knowledge. The
students are informed in advance on the schedule of the paper reading sessions, seminars, tests
and terminal examinations. The non-teaching staff of the College plays its role in conducting
the examinations.
2.5.2
The evaluation of the students is aimed at monitoring the progress of the students in their
respective branches of knowledge. The performance of the students in the classroom activities,
their presentations in the paper reading sessions and seminars and their scores in the tests and
terminal examinations are assessed and duly brought to the notice of their parents. However,
the Annual Examinations are conducted by the University and the performance of the students
is conveyed through the College to the students and their parents. The parents of the weaker
students are informally counseled and the teachers see that they improve.
2.5.3
The teachers take extra care in assessing the students’ performance; however, if there are any
grievances regarding evaluation, the concerned teachers solve them informally. As regards the
grievances of the students about the University examinations and assessment, the students with
complaints are guided by the respective teachers and their applications are sent to the
Controller of Examinations, Solapur University, Solapur. The Grievance Redressal Committee
of the University scrutinizes the complaints and redresses them through three optionsVerification of marks, Revaluation of scripts and Demanding the photocopy of the scripts for
Revaluation.
2.5.4
The Solapur University has decided to implement semester system from the academic year
2009-10.

teachers upgrade their knowledge through discussions and interactions by experts and peer
groups. As a result, the students get benefited by the regular up-gradation.
Probe 1.
The Peer Team forwarded its observations and recommendations under the criterion of
Teaching, Learning and Evaluation. (The Peer Team observed that the College has OHP, slide
124
projector, T.V., V.C.R., models and charts. The teachers however hold seminars and group
discussions.) The College has computerized most of the Departments. There are LCD
projectors which are used to facilitate the seminars, workshops and other programmes for the
student community. (On an average, teachers work for 16 hours per week.) The teachers have
30 working hours per week, out of which 16 are lecture hours and the remaining 14 are
preparatory hours. The teachers of the College work for five hours per day on the campus. (As
the College is a minority institution, it constitutes the selection committee as per the provisions
of Article 30 (1) of the Constitution of India.) The College is managed by Shri Aillak Pannalal
Digambar Jain Pathashala, Solapur, a minority institute. Although the selection committee is
formed by the College according to the Constitutional provision, the teachers are selected
purely on merit basis. As a result, the teaching staff of the College is constituted by members
from different castes and religions. (Teachers benefited out of Faculty Development
Programmes as 13 of them completed their Ph.D. and 11 have completed their M.Phil.) The
following table shows the number of teachers with Ph.D., M.phil and SET/NET/GATE

In keeping with the Recommendations forwarded by the Peer Team under Teaching, Learning
and Evaluation criterion, the College has brought in several changes. The College has
modernized the teaching methodology for better learning situations. The Departments of
Science and Social Work have been using computer-aided teaching. The Departments in Arts
too use the ICT devices by way of arranging audio-visual shows for the students. The teachers
125
and students are given enough access to the use of information and technology. The College
has planned to erect a language laboratory for promoting communication skills both in English
and regional languages. The teachers of the College have undertaken research projects. A

E) The Dept of Botany has been sanctioned a Major Research Project entitled ‘Digitalized
inventory of medical plant resources of Maharashtra’ and Rs 17, 40, 640/- have been
sanctioned by Rajiv Gandhi Science & Technology Commission, Govt of Maharashtra &
Aagharkar Research Institute, Pune. Dr S.P.Gaikwad, faculty, Dept of Botany, is the Chief
Investigator. There are two Research Students viz. Shri R.D.Gore and Shri K.U.Garad, who
have started to work on the Project.
3.2.3
The research by the Dept of Chemistry on the stability of metal complexes with some Schiff
bases has potential for industrial operations. The Development and Characterization of thin
films are aimed at increasing the storage capacity of solar cells by converting solar energy into
usable electrical energy. The research will certainly contribute to solving the acute energy
crisis all over the world.
186
The research activities in the Dept of Zoology are directed towards Generation of
Vermicompost from the beedi leaf litter in the city of Solapur. Solapur is one of the beedi
industrial hubs in Maharashtra, however, the city has the dubious distinction of high pollution
due to several reasons, beedi leaf litter being one of them. The research is not only going to
provide an answer to the disposal of a pollutant but to convert the waste into organic manure
also. The Department is involved in researching the ways of converting the sugarcane plant
residues and sugar industrial waste into vermicompost. There are researches on the impact of
Fluoride Toxicity and its seasonal variations on fish- Tilapia mossambica & Rita rita (Hamilton
Buchanan) from Bhima River, Solapur district. A research is going on the Faunal Diversity of
spiders- Arachnida: Araneae from southern tropical thorn forest habitat patches in and around
Solapur. There are researches on the effect of some Pesticides on the lamellibranch mollusk,
Lamellidens corrianus found near Sangola and their impact on ecology and ecophysiological
variations of the fresh water mollusk, Indonaia caeruleus from Bhima River, near Pandharpur,
Maharashtra.
The research done by the Dept of Geology on the studies on Tertiary and Quaternary
Foraminifera is quite useful in studying the extinct flora and fauna, and the geological changes
occurred during these periods. The researches on Bore-well Water pollutants of Kolhapur city
and the hydrological and Environmental Studies of the Sheri Nala Basin, Sangli district,
Maharashtra carry conclusions on the hydro-geological parameters of the concerned areas.
There are on going researches on Geoecology of Shastri River, neotectonics of Savitri River,
morphotectonics of Warana River and the environment of Pandharpur.
The Department of Marathi is conducting research works on rural culture in rural stories, Dalit
drama, feminine sensibilities in autobiographies by women writers, Buddhist Marathi
literature, Novels & Anthologies in Marathi. The research works will contribute to the
understanding of socio-cultural ethos expressed by different writers through varied literary
forms.
The Department of Hindi has been involved in the research works on Buddhist Philosophy in
Hindi literature, Hindi gazal, Post Independent Dalit Drama in Hindi & Marathi, Women in the
187
literary creations, life of middle class and life of rural women in Hindi stories. The research
works in Hindi are going to develop insights into the sensibilities of the authors and their
expressions in literary works.
The Department of Economics has done research works on the role of Golden Jubilee Village
Self-Employment Scheme on the Economic Development, the Economic impact of Farmer and
Weaver Cooperative Spinning Factory on the surrounding area and the economic impact of
Cooperative Sugar Industry on the farmers. Another work is aimed at studying a Government
project and its contribution to economic development of villagers, and the impact of industries
on the socio-economic life.
The Dept of Chemistry has completed a minor research project Mixed (CdSe)
1-x
(PbSe) x thin
films synthesis, properties & applications. The project realized the objectives of synthesis and
characterization of the material by simple and non-expensive technology and optimization of
parameters yielding good quality material used in solar cell devices.
The minor research project An interdisciplinary study on Communal Tension: Need for
intervention models- A case study of Solapur riots by the Department of Social Work was done
with a view to analyzing the mob psychology during riots. The project consists of the remedies
to avoiding riotous situations and ways of maintaining communal harmony in a city with multireligious society.
The Dept of Botany has completed a minor research project Studies in physiology & cytology
of some vegetables under the influence of organo-phosphorous pesticides, with the objectives
of studying the intracellular absorption of pesticides by growing vegetables and the toxicity
levels. The conclusions of the project may be useful in controlling the indiscriminate use of
pesticides.
The research project entitled Job satisfaction among workers, a study of 400 employees of
Precision Camshafts Ltd, a globally renowned company of Solapur, was conducted by Shri
V.P.Bet, the then Head of Dept of Social Work, during 2005 and the report was submitted to
188
the said company. The findings of the project have helped the industry to get acquainted with
the level of workers’ satisfaction, so as to design further HRD activities. The Dept of Social
Work has undertaken a research project Towards Equality: Working with Men in collaboration
with Tathapi Trust, Pune. The project is being carried out for sensitizing men for a nonprejudiced and cooperative family and social life.
The on-going minor research project on Use of Microorganisms and Plant Material as a biocontrol system for reduction of heavy metal ions from textile effluents by the Dept of
Microbiology will contribute to eco-friendly disposal of the toxic textile effluents.
The major research project undertaken by the Department of Botany on Digitalized Inventory
on medical plant resources of Maharashtra sponsored by Rajiv Gandhi Science and
Technology Commission, Govt of Maharashtra and Aagharkar Research Institute, Pune is an
ambitious project being executed for compiling a massive source of data regarding the flora of

3.3.1
The College has been informally involved in consultancy through the Departments of Geology,
Zoology, Chemistry, Botany, Geography and English. The Dept of Geology has been consulted
by individuals and organizations for expertise on ground water survey. There have been
occasions in which the faculty of the Department of Geology have helped the individual
farmers in digging wells and borewells for irrigation purposes. The consultancy services are
extended to the procurement of water for domestic utilization through tubewells. Solapur is
known all over the world for its Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary located in Nannaj, North
Solapur taluka. The teachers along with students of the Dept of Zoology have been involved in
the periodic census of the Great Indian Bustards, deer, wolves, foxes and other wild life
undertaken by the Forest Department, Government of Maharashtra. The Department also
orientates the lay people into the behavioural patterns of animals in the vicinity and helps
205
protect the fauna on the verge of extinction by way of participating in the organizations meant
for nature conservation and bird watching. The Dept of Chemistry, under the guidance of
Principal Dr A.H.Manikshete, has offered consultancy to Solapur-based pharmaceutical
industries, which require soft water on large scale. The Department has extended the
proficiency on thin film technology involved in solar panels, which consequently convert the
solar energy into heat energy. The faculty of the Department have been guiding the local textile
industrialists into the processes of bleaching and dying of the yarn. The Dept of Botany has
participated in the camps on biodiversity and conservation of plant wealth organized by the
Harit Sena (Green Brigade) of Department of Social Forestry, Zillah Parishad, Solapur. Dr
S.P.Gaikwad, faculty of the Department, has extended his expertise in discovering and
identifying different red-listed plant species viz. Ceropegia fantastica and Crotolaria
decasperma in the western ghats of India, which happens to be one of the twelve Megabiodiversity Centres of the world. The Department of Geography offers its know-how on
tourism to individuals and organizations in planning and executing tours. The teachers of the
Department of English extend their know-how in linguistics by way of translating the matters
from Marathi into English and vice versa, by way of proof reading, checking and correcting the
linguistic errors in formal writing in thesis, articles, reports, letters etc. Shri M.P.Joshi, faculty
of the Department, has been contributing to work of the Department of Information, under
Office of the District Collector, by translating the journalistic coverage of the process of
Loksabha and Assembly elections for the convenience of the Observers appointed by the
Election Commission of India.

The College had been publicizing the expertise available for consultancy services by word of
mouth. However, from the next academic year the College is going to work out consultancy
services in the areas of environmental science, pollution, soil & water analysis, photography,
naturopathy, medicinal plants along with conventional areas.
206
3.3.3
The College rewards the staff for the consultation provided to individual and organizations by
giving them letters of appreciation. The College inspires the activities under consultancy by
providing the infrastructural facilities.
3.3.4
As has been said, the teachers of the College have been offering consultancy services free of
charge, there has hardly been any question of utilization of the revenue. But, the College is all
set to explore the possibilities of generating revenue out of consultancy services from the next
academic year.

(Departments have to create linkages with local industrial houses for mutual benefit. The
College has to identify better situations, which can study problems of industrial houses.) The
Departments of Chemistry, Zoology, Microbiology and Geology have been linked
with local industrial houses informally. The Dept of Chemistry imparts its expertise to
the processing work in dying and bleaching useful in local textile industries and the
Thin Film Technology know-how has been made available for converting solar energy
into usable energy in fabricating solar panel. The Dept of Zoology has done research
in vermicomposting, which has turned out to be a means of augmenting the organic
manual by using the waste of the local beedi (Country Cigarettes) industry. The
faculty of the Dept of Geology have been informally involved in helping the local
industries, farmers and residents in ground water survey. Solapur, being a droughtprone district, has always been in need of expertise useful in discovering ground
water for domestic, commercial and agricultural purposes, the faculty in Geology
have been playing a key role in this socio-commercially useful process by allowing the
benefit of their advice. The Dept of Microbiology is doing research on use of
Microorganisms and Plant Material as a bio-control system for reduction of heavy
metal ions from Textile Effluents. The Solapur city faces a big question of disposal of
effluents from textile industrial houses, the preceding project by the Dept of
Microbiology will go a long way in finding out a solution to this question. (Earn and
learn scheme can be introduced in those industrial houses for the benefit of the economically
weak learning community.) The Dept of Social Work has provided its students
opportunities of earning while learning. For the Participatory Rural Appraisals on
Water Issue carried by the Department in 26 villages between 28th May – 2nd June 2005
in Solapur district each of the 63 students was given Rs 350/- for stipend by Jal
Swarajya, Zillah Parishad, Solapur. The PRA on Total Sanitation Campaign conducted
278
in 11 villages of Pandharpur and Malshiras talukas between 23rd and 27th January 2007
allowed each of the 63 students a monetary assistance of Rs 500/- by Zillah Parishad,
