DYAL SINGH EVENING COLLEGE UNIVERSITY OF DELHI
DYAL SINGH EVENING COLLEGE UNIVERSITY OF DELHI LODHI ROAD, NEW DELHI 110003 SELF STUDY REPORT 2016 SUBMITTED TO NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL BENGALURU 1 PREFACE The process of developing the ‘Self Study Report’ has been one of self-discovery. The evaluation criteria made us engage with different facets of our workplace and it has highlighted the strength as well as the potential of the institute. It will be our endeavour to build upon these ideas with the objective of creating an environment to further the development of the faculty and nurture the abilities of the students. It also brought to fore the different levels of our interface with the society which made us comprehend our position and our contribution as an institution involved in the culture of knowledge building and sharing. The staff of the college, both teaching and non-teaching, has worked collectively in the collation of the data, assessment of the departmental evaluative reports and the final assemblage. The self-evaluation has enabled us to constructively critique prospects for the holistic expansion of the college. Dyal Singh Evening College tries to fulfil its role in nation building by trying to create a generation of young citizens who are articulate, global, broadminded and inclusive, and yet culturally sound in their ethos. Our strength in having a liberal Humanities and Commerce department helps us to create an environment of inquisitiveness and rationality. A co-educational institution since 1994-1995, we can boast of a vibrant, multicultural student base from all across India and particularly from the North East. The Delhi Metro adjacent to the college premises has specially aided in making the college more accessible to girl students. I present to you here a document which attempts to highlight, the all-inclusive policy of the college wherein students from diverse cultural backgrounds are provided with a discursive space to interact, dialogue and appreciate the distinctiveness of religion, region and culture in a rapidly transforming world. Dr. Pawan Kumar Sharma Principal 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY “Gather ye the wisdom of East and West” -College Motto Standing like a beacon in the heart of the city, Dyal Singh Evening College represents a synthesis of tradition and modernity and it is this characteristic that is encapsulated in its motto. The rich legacy of the institution can be traced back to the vision of its founder Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, remembered as the founder of The Tribune and the Punjab National Bank. Hailing from Punjab, one of the great sons of India, he wanted to infuse a scientific outlook in the minds of the people ridden with blind faith and superstition. For this purpose Sardar Dyal Singh willed his estate for the establishment of an educational trust for a secular college, and in 1910 Dyal Singh College Lahore was established. Post-partition, the Trust set up by him kept his vision alive in India as well. An eminent educationist, late Dewan Anand Kumar, the former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab University, immortalized Dyal Singh Majithia, by establishing two academic colleges in his name: one at Karnal and the other at Delhi. The college in Delhi enjoys the distinction of being the first evening college of the University of Delhi. It started as an Evening College in 1958 after taking over from the Punjab University (Camp College) which functioned from tents in a school on Mandir Marg. The morning shift of the college started functioning in the subsequent year. The management of the college was later taken over by the University of Delhi on 30th June 1978 and the college is now an institute wholly maintained and governed by the University of Delhi. The college shifted to the present premises in 1962. Spread over an area of over 11 acres, the college campus is located in the cultural hub of the city, in close proximity to the India International Centre, the India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Garden, Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Stadium, CGO Complex and many other institutions of national/international significance. The college has a vibrant and spacious campus and is well connected by Delhi Metro. It has well-equipped lecture halls, extensive lawns and vast play-grounds. The college also boasts of a unique open air amphitheatre surrounded by majestic trees. The college has a heavy duty generator to augment the supply of electricity in the event of a power failure. The infrastructure has witnessed expansion owing to the increasing student strength. In addition to the construction of a New Academic Block which 3 hasseveral class rooms, a new computer lab, a state of the art Seminar Hall, and an aesthetically designed Auditorium have also been built. The college has been sharing the building with the morning college causing infrastructural constraints which will soon be addressed with a new building within the premises. With the construction of the new building, the faculty as well as the students will be able to enjoy the flexibility of time and space and wider opportunities for the accomplishment of greater achievements. The vision is to impart education that unleashes the creativity and hones the skills of the students. Raring to go, the youth, the biggest asset of the country is brimming with energy and this energy needs to be channelized towards positive, constructive endeavours. The college and the faculty facilitate this process by being friends, mentors and guides to them. Strengths: Located in an area steeped in the rich history of the city the college is surrounded by cultural heritage sites like the tombs of Safdarjung, Nizammudin and Amir Khusrau and Lodhi Gardens. Well connected by road and by the Delhi Metro, the college can boast of accessibility that few other colleges can. A highly qualified faculty with wide-ranging research experience and interests in diverse fields is the biggest asset that the college has to offer. Its dynamic faculty functions as a cohesive whole for the advancement of the students, who after their brief but eventful and rewarding transit through the college, graduate to become valuable contributors towards the functioning of society. Mr C S Pant from the Department of Economics was a UN observer for the first ever elections held in postapartheid Republic of South Africa. The innovation project of the college on medical tourism that won accolades is another prime example of dynamism of the work culture. It is the belief of the dedicated and versatile staff of the college that the aim of education is the overall development of the students, a significant aspect of which is the fostering of a rational and critical temper. The college does all it can towards the improvement of the quality and the content of education in society. To help the students benefit from technology two computer labs and a new ICT lab with 80 computers has been set up. About 1200 laptops provided by the university were distributed to the students to facilitate the teaching and learning of Foundation 4 Courses. All this is in keeping with the attempts of the college to provide infrastructural support for the progression of the overall development of the students. The college, taking into account the needs of the differently-abled, has taken all the necessary steps towards making the campus area disabled-friendly. The Equal Opportunity Cell, an enabling unit, has been constituted to facilitate the inclusive development of these students. The college, furthermore, is dedicated to the advancement of the studies in humanities, a trend which the world over is fast losing pace. As more universities across the globe are withdrawing funds from the humanities since they do not see them as geared towards the needs of market-driven economies, Dyal Singh Evening College realizes the importance of the contributions of the Humanities and vernacular languages towards the building of a more meaningful society. Furthermore, to fulfil its commitment to academic excellence, the college lends all possible institutional help to the faculty members so that they can ceaselessly work towards their own advancement and thereby benefit the students as well. This facilitation takes the form of institutional support, extended, not just to the teaching staff but also to the nonteaching staff members. Encouraged to attend training and skill-development workshops, the college staff is able to fulfil its aspirations and explore potential avenues for professional growth. The commitment to the conservation of the environment is also a strength of the college. In addition to the curricular activities, the college takes cognizance of its Institutional Social Responsibility and does all it can to contribute to society. One of the thrust areas over the past few years has been the preservation of the environment. The college’s active NCC, NSS and Students’ Union work tirelessly to organize events at frequent intervals such as the Swachchata Abhiyan, collection of used woollen clothes for the underprivileged sections of society, debates and signature campaigns and other activities focussing on nation building. The NSS and the Students’ Union have been engaged in activities like Youth Day, Yoga Day, Drug and Substance Free Campus Campaign, Blood Donation Camp and Litter Free Campus Campaign, to mention just a few. Talks on good governance, guru shishya parampara, women’s safety, etc. have also been organized. NCC cadets enthusiastically participated in the Republic Day camp 2015. Dhara Mitra,the Environment Awareness Committee, conducts regular meetings to motivate young 5 scholars to spread awareness and contribute towards the conservation of the environment. The Committee has arranged tree plantation drives and has hosted a celebration of the harvesting season to promote a green and clean environment as well. Some of the other examples of the initiatives of the college to contribute to society include an ‘Awareness March’ which was organized from the college gate to India Gate in 2012 where students from various colleges joined the students of Dyal Singh Evening College. Organizing discussions on saving water, population explosion, saving rivers from filth and plastic, discouraging fire crackers as well as encouraging patience, peace and non-violence has been the target of the college. Another progressive step towards the preservation of the environment has been the use of ‘Eco Friendly Attendance Register’. Technology is also being optimally utilized to disseminate knowledge in and beyond the class room. The faculty has been successful in using e-mails, Whatsapp and other smart phone applications as pedagogical tools. In the spirit of inclusiveness, under the aegis of Equal Opportunity Cell, the college organized a classical dance performance by visually challenged students from a Bengaluru based NGO. Keeping this cardinal principle in mind, the Committee for the Welfare of the North-East students has also been actively organizing seminars, competitions, paper presentations and cultural programmes with an objective to familiarize one and all with the uniqueness of the North-East by showcasing their attire, dance forms and other nuances. Furthering the same principle, the theme of the college stall at Antardhvani 2015 was devoted to the North-East. The highlight was the presentation of a Naga War Dance which was highly appreciated and applauded at the Antardhvani fest. Our efforts bore fruit and the college won a commendation award for the stall from the University of Delhi. The street play Log Kya Kahenge performed by Junoon, the Drama wing of the Art and Culture Association of the college won the first prize amongst 69 competing teams at Antardhvani 2014. Weaknesses: The college, at present, shares the infrastructure with the morning college and all decisions regarding the improvement and maintenance of the infrastructure are taken by the morning college. This dependence and lack of freedom in matters pertaining to infrastructure can be termed as the greatest weakness of the college. The college, 6 however, is taking steps towards overcoming this. Plans are underway for the college to have a separate building and also become a morning college. This step would also go a long way towards countering the mindset that discourages students from enrolling here because of the archaic notion associated with the tag of an ‘evening college’. Like any other college of the University, Dyal Singh Evening College also has the practice of ad hoc teaching appointments. This practice is a drawback not only for the teaching staff, but is also unfair to the students who have to constantly familiarize themselves with new teachers and new teaching methods. Opportunities: The college provides meaningful, value-based education to students, some of whom come from humble backgrounds. Special relaxation in cut off is given to girl students during admissions to empower them by encouraging them to pursue education while working. Similar relaxation is given to students opting to study languages like Punjabi, Urdu, Tamil, and Sanskrit to keep alive the rich diversity of cultures of our country. This is both a challenge as well as a matter of pride for the college. One of our teachers has been honoured and awarded for her contribution to the Dogri language. Many of our teachers translate from the Indian languages to English thus contributing to the cross cultural flow. In order to bring students of diverse backgrounds to an equal footing, the college has constituted the Indian Languages Club. The aim of the club is to allow students to interact with ideas that are not presented to them in the dominant languages alone. It is an innovative association that accords equal importance to all Indian languages. Eminent linguists like Dr Satyamurti, Prof Ibne Kanwal and Prof Manjit Singh have addressed the students and the teachers of the college under the aegis of the Indian Languages Club. Eminent academicians such as Kuldeep Nayyer have also spoken at the events organized by the Urdu Department. Recently the department organized a two Day National Conference celebrating 150 years of Ismat Chugtai. The Department of English creates various opportunities to interact with eminent personalities, national as well as international, from various walks of life like creative 7 writers, critics, activists, communication experts, linguists, media personnel and town planners to mention a few. The department organises various departmental seminars, engages with the students on a regular basis, to develop students’ critical skills and this facilitates interdisciplinary interactions and discussions leading to a holistic understanding of the context within which literature is written, published, circulated and consumed. Film screening followed by expert comments and discussion helps students to understand how a literary text is adapted which further enhances their critical sensibilities and capabilities. The department takes the teaching process beyond classroom learning by encouraging students to write scripts of texts they are reading and perform them as part of their group projects. Creative Writing, and selfcomposed poetry recitation competitions provide wings to students’ creative imagination and hone their writing skills. To fine tune the oratory skills of the students declamation and recitation competitions are a regular feature with the department. The Literary Society of the Department ‘Literary Meditations’ organizes the annual inter college festival which gives the students an opportunity to showcase not only their literary but also their organizational skills. In order to promote awareness about the working and the challenges of democracy today, The Rajneeti Vigyan Parishad, the society of the Political Science Department conducts a mock youth parliament along with seminars and debates every year. The Commerce Association acquaints students with issues related to Business, Finance, and Industry etc. through workshops, seminars, special lectures, and competitions on a wide gamut of topics like Corporate Governance, Global Financial Crisis, Impact on Youth of Rapidly Changing Technologies, Relationship between Vigilance and Good Governance, Wealth Management, and Impact of Shopping Malls on Youth etc. The UGC sponsored two day National Conference on “Emerging Trends in Finance” was a good exposure for the students who also presented papers along with the faculty. The papers were published in the conference proceedings which is a great achievement for the institution. Ecosoc, the society of the Economics department has been organising debates, quiz competitions, talks, etc. to enrich the students of the college. The society organized an educational trip to flood affected area of Uttarakhand as a part of institutional social responsibility. 8 Besides these the college is also committed to promote gender equality, one of the most important issues in society today. For this purpose the Gender Sensitization Committee of the college has been working tirelessly over the years. It has invited eminent personalities like Padmashree Shovana Narayan, Kamala Bhasin and various NGOs like Jagori, Saheli, etc. to conduct talks, seminars, workshops and conferences. The NSS, NCC, Sports and the Art and Culture Association provide the students a platform to develop their mind, body, leadership qualities and aesthetic sensibility. Challenges: One of the challenges that the college faces is the promotion of minor languages in an era of globalization where one sees the space for these languages dwindling. The college offers Tamil, Urdu, Punjabi and Sanskrit and gives up to 10% relaxation in order to motivate students to enrol for these subjects and appreciate the various languages, literatures and cultures of India. The challenge that the college takes up is to stay focussed on bi/multilingualism at the college level. The lack of preparation for college and university education at the senior secondary school level is a challenge involved in the delivery of higher-education. There is general competitiveness for the acquisition of marks at the school level. However, this attitude leaves much wanting in terms of both seeking knowledge and knowing how to handle it. It has also been the endeavour of the college not to lose sight of the competitive job market and to constantly keep the employability of its graduates as a priority, and it has a Placement Cell to serve this end. The students in the college, moreover, come from extremely divergent socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and this heterogeneity in the classrooms can sometimes be very challenging for the instructor to confront. In its quest to provide an equal footing to all the students, the college is in the process of setting up a small language lab for the benefit of the students who have not had their primary or secondary education in English medium schools. The students admitted to Dyal Singh Evening College reflect the rich diversity of a metropolitan city as well as a central university. The college always maintains the utmost transparency in matters pertaining to admissions. All information concerning admissions is shared on the college website and brochures. Admission is solely on the 9 basis of academic merit and the college no longer admits on the basis of sports or ECA quota. The details regarding the names and phone numbers of all admission committee members, as well as those of the Admission Grievance Committee are regularly updated on the website from time to time so that the new students and their guardians can enquire about various aspects of admissions. The Admission Grievance Committee members are available on college premises throughout the admission process. The promotion of research initiatives has always been a priority for the college. The faculty is always encouraged to take up research projects. The college provides full autonomy to the Principal Investigator of the research projects. There is a timely availability of the funds and the release of resources to the projects. The college supports the Project Investigators in terms of providing adequate infrastructure and human resources required for the projects. The ICT support like Internet facility, WiFi facility, e-journals, e-books, computing facility etc. required for the project is provided by the college. In addition to this, the college is connected to the University LAN which allows access to all the journals subscribed by the University of Delhi. The college is also a member of the INFLIBNET through which faculty members can access subscribed journals from anywhere. In sync with the changing demands of academic and research world, the college has recently established a research centre called Centre for Socio-Economic Transformation (CSET) to enhance the research temper and provide space for deliberations and inquiries into the policy-impact analysis of various “haves and havenots” strata of the society and to provide solutions to social issues. Furthermore, consistent increase in budgetary allocations has been made for infrastructure development and maintenance. Over the years, there has been significant augmentation in library resources. The college has always endeavoured to take appropriate initiatives to facilitate the overall experience of students and staff members with physical disabilities. It has constructed ramps for this purpose at various locations in the college. The corridors have been paved with special tiles to guide visually challenged students. There are toilets designed to cater to the needs of the orthopedically challenged. The college has one wheel chair and also a lift in the new building. The college also has an Equal 10 Opportunity Cell to make suggestions and look into the specific grievances of the physically challenged. Of the foremost importance to the college is student development and mentoring. Guidance in academic as well as personal matters is provided to students through systems of mentoring offered at various levels in college. An extensive orientation programme is organised to welcome new students and introduce them to the ethos and values of the college and their new journey ahead. The college publishes its prospectus annually and it includes all the details of the academic calendar, provides glimpses of college history, profiles of the faculty members, familiarizes students with various committees and contains information regarding the different societies that the students can join to showcase and develop their latent talents. The college has a very structured way of promoting extra and co- curricular activities through various committees and associations specifically made for these very purposes. These committees and associations have members from both the faculty as well as the students. The college recognizes and rewards through prizes excellence achieved by its students in academics, sports and extra-curricular activities. Also, the college provides special opportunities and provisions to the underprivileged and physically challenged students. Students are given extra attention and time whenever they miss their classes as a result of participating in various competitions. The college encourages students to have interactive sessions with the students and teachers of other seats of higher learning through inter college seminars, symposia and competitions. Every year, a multilingual college magazine, The Evening Star, is published for the students and gives them an ideal platform to display and hone their writing skills. Career counselling and placement are an integral part of the college. The Placement Cell of the college has been running successfully for the past few years. The Placement Cell Committee has faculty members from various departments who are well versed with the needs of the students and understand their career objectives. The Governing Body of Dyal Singh Evening College is an enlightened group of men and women who understand the need for constant striving and innovation. The 11 Principal and the faculty draw a great deal of support and strength from this body that periodically reviews the new initiatives and different ways of approaching existing practices. The college has a participative, decentralized management system. The Principal implements and monitors all the policies and plans of the institution in coordination with the Staff Council committees, Bursar and Teachers-in-charge of various departments. The Principal ensures operational autonomy to committees and departments in the implementation of various plans and policies in the college. The very system of governance of the college is based upon the principle of delegation of authority. All the administrative and academic decision making and functions are performed by various Staff Council committees under the chairmanship of Principal-in-council. The Principal also interacts with students and members of Students’ Union to learn about academic, administrative and cultural issues. One of the goals of the college is to enhance overall growth of all its stakeholders which includes students, teachers and administrative support staff. Faculty members set high standards for the students, engage them in an ambitious course of study with clear goals, use their knowledge and experience to prepare all students for excellence in academics and success in their prospective workplace. The administrative-staff helps in providing the appropriate resources to facilitate the teaching methodologies and techniques adopted by faculty. Faculty and non-teaching staff members work in tandem with each other to improve the performance of the students. As a result of consistent, diligent efforts of each and every member of the Dyal Singh Evening College family, the college has grown from strength to strength. Raising its own bar with each passing year, the college endeavours to develop itself by investing in its human resources. An ever growing, versatile, talented and successful alumnus attests to the ever increasing popularity of the college. The proud alumni of the college are a living proof of the value addition that takes place in the college. Over the years, the college has produced sports persons, activists, politicians, bureaucrats, professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, dancers, singers, writers, painters, artists, composers, lecturers and above all thinkers – critical thinkers capable of bringing about substantial, progressive changes in society. 12 Profile of Dyal Singh Evening College 1.

Curriculum Planning and Implementation 1.1.1. Vision, Mission and Objectives of the Institution Vision: The founding-father of the college, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia believed in the motto: “Gather ye the wisdom of East and West.” Founded upon this motto, the institution strives to bridge the rich tradition of our country with that of the west so that a dialogical platform can be produced where these two great traditions fuse and produce individuals with broader perspectives by virtue of their access to the best of both traditions. The institution continually works towards a symbiotic growth relation that benefits the students and the institution alike. Innovative ideas are continually explored to find the best methods and techniques to hone the innate skills of the students and improve upon the fine blueprint that is unique in each individual. As the process of learning itself is a continuous striving for perfection, the institution sets high standards for itself and encourages and engages its students towards the same. We approach our work with integrity and dedication, acknowledging the individuality of each student along with the common needs, to enable them to reach their optimum potential without compromising standards. With this clear vision there are certain missions which the institution, as a centre of learning, has set forward to accomplish. Mission: Dyal Singh Evening College follows the prescribed curricula of the University of Delhi to impart holistic learning and equip its students with pedagogical skills which will empower them to successfully navigate a consistently changing world. The flexibility, which the curriculum has allowed within its ambit, makes it possible to explore innovative teaching methods to ensure the 23 adaptability of students to the changing demands in the professional and creative spheres. The methodology which the institution employs to accomplish these missions are both interpersonal as well as intrapersonal. Great emphasis is placed on the all-round development of the students – a sound mind within a sound body. Keeping in mind the necessity of moral development along with intellectual growth, the college has set up FINA (Forum for International and National Awareness) and a Gender Sensitization Committee. FINA organizes seminars, workshops, poster-making competitions, elocution, debates, etc. pertaining to national and international issues. The Gender Sensitization Committee is specifically focussed on spreading understanding and awareness of gender relations and issues relating to gender justice. Eminent personalities like Padmashree Shovana Narayan, Kamala Bhasin and various NGO’s like Jagori, Saheli have been a part of the events organized by the committee. The Centre for Socio-Economic Transformation, under the aegis of the college, headed by Dr Bhawna Pandey has entered into a MoU which works on education and livelihood improvement of vulnerable areas in Uttarakhand. Initiatives such as these are aimed to inculcate a sense of moral responsibility and conscientious discipline in the students. The NCC, NSS and Dhara Mitra organize events such as, ‘Youth Day,’ ‘Drug and Substance-free Campus Campaign,’ ‘Donation Drive for Clothes and Food,’ ‘Blood Donation Camp,’ ‘Swachchata Abhiyan,’ etc. These activities inculcate civic sense and moral responsibility in the students and contribute in their character development. Rajneeti Vigyan Parishad, the society of the Political Science Department is dedicated towards acquainting the students and faculty with the discipline of politics and organizes seminars and a youth parliament each year. Education being a life-long process, the institution strives to instil the essence of life-long learning in the students by constantly engaging their intellect and inquisitive spirit, in order to produce graduates who integrate the intellectual capacity to strive for excellence along with a rightly-directed moral compass. 24 In keeping with the dream of its founder, Dyal Singh Evening College is dedicated towards building a tradition which is composite of the diversity of the India. In order to achieve this, the college has introduced courses in Urdu, Punjabi, Sanskrit and Tamil to keep these rich languages alive and the Indian Languages Club have organized events attended by eminent intellectuals like Dr Satyamurti, Prof Ibne Kanwal and Prof Manjit Singh. As a part of integrating the diverse cultures of the country, a special Committee for the Welfare of North East Students has been set up to help the students from the region adapt to the culture and environment of the mainland region and familiarize the latter to the uniqueness of the North-Eastern region and its traditions. So far, the Committee has been a success and won a prize worth one lakh in the inter-college Antardhvani programme organized by the University of Delhi.

The seminars and workshops as well as paper presentations organized by the various departmental societies viz. Commerce Association, Ecosoc (Economics Society), Rajneeti Vigyan Parishad etc. provide not only theoretical knowledge but also the technical know-how which help the students get placements in various companies through the Placement Cell. We, as an institution, believe in timely intervention with respect to skill and character development by exploring and honing the innate talents of the students keeping in mind the value and uniqueness of each individual. Junoon the Dramatic Society, Rishabh the Music Society, Phulkari, the Folk Dance Society, Cyclone, the Western Dance Society, the Fine Arts Society and Literary Meditations, the English Department Society, etc. are some of the ideal avenues for students to discover their interests and talents and find artistic expression for themselves.

If ‘yes’, what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process? The Admission Committee reviews the admission process on the basis of student profile annually as well as before the announcement of each cut-off list. 2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/ improve access for the following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/ reflect the National commitment to diversity and inclusion: SC/ST, OBC, Women, Differently abled, Economically weaker sections, Minority community, Any other. Dyal Singh Evening College considers and follows all special concessions for admission provided in case of S.C., S.T., O.B.C., O.H., Kashmiri migrants/refugees, and Women as prescribed by the University of Delhi. Orthopedically and visually challenged persons are also given special and due consideration by the college as per University guidelines. Although the college does not prescribe to special considerations in admissions to sports persons or persons having achievements in extracurricular activities or even economically weaker sections other than the O.B.C.s, it does provide all the necessary infrastructure, support (including financial support) and training to students belonging to such categories. 2.1.6 Comment on the trends and reasons of increase/ decrease in demand for various programmes offered by the institution during the last four years and actions initiated for improvement. The candidates apply to the college through the centralised application system of Delhi University. Since they have the option of applying to various courses through one application form (which may not necessarily belong to a particular stream of Science, Humanities & Arts, Commerce), the pool of candidates applying to one particular course is not exclusive from the pool of candidates applying to another course. Therefore, it does not accurately indicate the demand of a particular course. The ratio of students admitted to a particular 52 course with respect to the total number of applications in the college for that course, hence, does not show the true picture of the interest and preference of candidates for the course. As a result of these gaps in the data, demand ratio cannot be calculated. However, the total number of students admitted in the undergraduate courses provided by the college is given below: Number of applications Programmes 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 Number of students admitted Demand Ratio 999 The University of Delhi follows Centralised Application System 2015-16 1283 NA 959 755 2.2 Catering to Student Diversity 2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently-abled students and ensure adherence to government policies in this regard? Right from the time of admissions Dyal Singh Evening College caters to the needs of differently-abled persons. The college gives them considerable relaxation in the cut-off marks for admission and privileged treatment during the process of admission because of their special needs. There is a single window admission process for them and they are not required to stand in any queue. The college has ramps for the wheelchair movement of the orthopedically challenged students. The facility of elevators has made most parts of the building accessible to everyone. Special care is taken by the timetable committee to keep all the classes having orthopedically challenged students on the ground floor where we have the ramps. Tactile paths have been specially made for the smooth and safe movement of visually challenged students and faculty in the college premises. 53 Our library has a laptop with JAWS software, a scanner that can read books and headphones especially made for blind students. The library has few books in the Brail format also. Audio recordings of some of the books done by the teachers are also available in the library, especially for the blind students. The college has a Grievance Redressal Cell and an Equal Opportunity Cell to look into the problems faced by such students. 2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process. The college formally collects data regarding skills such as language and other subjects, for example Economics and Mathematics at the time of admissions. This data is then used to arrange separate sections for English and Hindi medium as well as to provide remedial classes to students lacking in fundamental skills like Maths. Dyal Singh Evening College has a very elaborate process of grooming its students that starts right at the time students come to the college to take admissions. Students are counselled about the course that is best suited for them on the basis of their aptitude and their performance in the qualifying examination. However, they are free to choose their course as long as they meet the cut-off and other requirements. An orientation programme organised on the very first day of the college ;prepares them for their three years stay in the college by informing them about both curricular and extra-curricular activities. They are apprised of the internal assessment system, attendance requirement, importance of assignments and projects, etc. The college also acquaints them with the various societies run by the college to facilitate budding talents of the students in the extra and co-curricular fields. Orientation is also done at the departmental level to apprise them of the special requirements of their chosen programme. The specific three years course structure is discussed with them by the teachers of their department. 54 2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? The teachers of Dyal Singh Evening College leave no stone unturned to enhance students’ understanding and performance. Academically, all teachers engage in interactive sessions with students instead of mere one-way lecture method. All teachers take special care to simplify, elaborate, give more and more examples and reading material in order to match and enhance the knowledge and comprehension of students with so-called disadvantaged backgrounds. Although due to shortage of space, class-rooms and infrastructure etc., the college has not been able to perfectly implement the tutorial class system of the University in its totality, the teachers of Dyal Singh Evening College take extra effort, classes etc. to improve upon the knowledge and skills of students from unequal backgrounds. The usual medium of instruction/teaching is English or Hindi or a mixture of both or bilingual. Dyal Singh Evening College is one of the few colleges of University of Delhi where different Modern Indian Language courses are taught, for example Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil etc. The college also has a vibrant Sanskrit department. To cater to the diverse linguistic needs of students, most of the teachers use a bilingual mix of Hindi and English medium of instruction. The Department of Political Science has even created separate sections/classes for Hindi and English medium of instruction since the academic year 2010-2011. Section A, in the Department of Political Science, is reserved for English medium students, and Section B for Hindi medium students. This has led to ease of instruction and learning. Even when sections are not formed on the basis of language, care is taken to instruct in Hindi along with English for students coming from Hindi-medium backgrounds. Students are also provided information related to availability of study material in Hindi. The college library also has a good mix of Hindi and English medium books and journals for almost all the courses. The students also have a choice of writing tests / assignments or delivering presentations and projects in either Hindi or English. Programmes, events, seminars etc. of 55 Sanskrit, Urdu, Punjabi and Tamil (and also of Hindi and English), are a huge success at Dyal Singh Evening College as students belonging to all streams of study actively participate in these programmes. This also proves that the college culture neither neglects nor looks down upon people with differential language requirements. In order to improve the performance of students some Departments have/had undertaken remedial classes. For example, the Department of Economics has been conducting remedial classes for its Honours and B.A. Programme students in 2015-16. The new CBCS system (as well as under the FYUP system) has provision for enrichment courses, a wide range of which are made available to students as per their choice. Teachers encourage students to take up such courses so that their skills can be improved. Such courses are inter-disciplinary and help in increasing the knowledge of students from different backgrounds and courses. A commerce and political science student can study literary courses, and a literature student can opt for almost professional (diploma like) courses of Commerce, Economics, Political Science and History. The college makes special arrangements of infrastructure and faculty to service students opting for such course/paper, provided that the number of such students is more than ten. 2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.? Dyal Singh Evening College is one of the pioneers in the University of Delhi to undertake conscious efforts to sensitize its staff as well as students about issues such as gender discrimination, ethnic inclusiveness, and environmental consciousness and so on. The college has exclusive committees such as Gender Sensitization Committee, Internal Complaints Committee, Discipline Committee, Environment Awareness Committee etc. to sensitize the staff and students about these issues. These committees are not merely ‘complaints committees’ (except the ICC), but also units that organize different events regularly or actively take part in all college events to encourage ‘indifference 56 to differences’. The effort of sensitization is not limited to specific committees only as different departments of the college regularly organize events which foster gender, environmental etc. awareness. For example, the Political Science Department organized mock parliament on the issue of 33% (thirty three percent) reservation to women in parliament. Most of the departments of the college have been participating in Swachchata Abhiyan, Tree Plantation, Women Empowerment Programmes, Blood Donation Camps, NSS, Health Awareness Programmes and Disaster Management training events. The Economics Department organized an education trip to assess the challenges faced by rural girl child in disaster affected area/districts in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, which included interaction with the NGO Manav Bharti. The college has also signed its first MOU with Manav Bharti NGO as an academic partner. In terms of gender equity, again, Dyal Singh Evening College has unique mechanisms. There is a girls’ common room with a lady in-charge. There are Gender Sensitization Committee and Internal Complaints Committee to specifically look into the complaints of girl students and immediately solve the problems. There is also a Discipline Committee to ensure proper discipline in the college. Girls are given relaxation from 3 to 5 percent at the time of admissions. Girls equally take part in all college events. The college has a number of teaching and non-teaching female staff. Many toppers of different courses have been girls only. The Commerce department and its students organized Blood Donation and Cloth Donation Camps, Tree Plantation activities, Swachchata Abhiyan and participated in NSS and NCC activities. Most of the departments in the college make use of videos and organize seminars and conferences to instil awareness among students on various issues. Some teachers have been awarded by the University and some students have worked as Research Associates in Delhi University sponsored Innovation Project titled ‘Medical Tourism’ from November 2013 to March 2015. The students received awards for Best Innovation Idea and Best Display Award in this project. 57 2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners? Through a process of formative assessment in classes, the departments keep record of their students’ progression and needs. Better than average students are identified and guided to help them nurture their talents. Such students are encouraged to participate in various societal activities of the respective departments and seminars and competitions across various colleges. The college encourages its students to take part in research projects, for example, the Innovation Projects of the University of Delhi. Students with good academic and co-curricular performances are rewarded with prizes during our annual college festival. Students keen on deeper and advanced learning are helped by the faculty through guidance on advanced level texts as well as advanced problem solving. Bright students who wish to continue higher education abroad are provided with good recommendations by their faculty. 2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyse and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)? Although there is no formal mechanism at the college level to identify students with high drop-out risk, individual departments do identify students with special academic needs and provide counselling and extra tutorials to such students. Students with weak financial backgrounds are provided full or partial tuition fee exemptions at the college level. Moreover, the faculty, at a personal level, also guide students to avail scholarships and grants under various schemes of the University. 58 2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, and evaluation blue print, etc.) Dyal Singh Evening College follows the academic calendar of the University of Delhi in its totality. The University academic calendar provides all the colleges with the dates of commencement and dispersal of classes, dates for the mid-semester break, date of the beginning of examinations, the examination date sheets of various courses and the duration of the vacation for both the odd as well as the even semesters. In the college all the departments do micro planning and plan how to finish the course within the stipulated time frame. Dates for the submission of assignments and projects are fixed. At the beginning of the session the college decides about the dates concerning cultural festival of the college called Rajnigandha, Fresher’s Welcome, Sports day, Annual function, etc. Evaluation of the students in the form of Internal Assessment is also done within the time frame fixed by the college. 2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process? Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is in the process of formation. At present the teaching-learning process is monitored by the Academic Planning Committee appointed by the Staff Council. Different departments submit their proposals to the Academic Planning Committee regarding the options they want to offer to the students and how it is going to benefit them. The workload of each department is vetted by the committee. The committee then forwards it to the Time Table Committee for the preparation of the time table of the entire college. Departments also, at times, propose the introduction of new courses/programmes to the Academic Committee. If the committee deems fit, then the proposal is forwarded to the Governing Body of the college. 59 Regular departmental meetings and discussions amongst the teachers also help in keeping tab on the quality of teaching. 2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning among the students? The college, believes that for any educational institution, the most important stake holders are the students. So, most of the focus is on the welfare of the students. The teachers of the college don’t believe in having a monologue with the students in the class rooms. So, rather than merely delivering lectures they initiate discussions by posing questions to the students. When the students answer, the teachers appreciate and refine their answers if they are correct or otherwise, point out the fallacy in their arguments whenever they are not answered correctly. At times, the students are asked to discuss case studies in the class rooms. This way they are able to learn the intricacies of real life situations. Experts from various fields are invited to address and interact with the students to give them the feel of how the real world functions. These interactions help the students to judge whether they can apply their academic theoretical knowledge to the happenings around them or not. The students are given either individual or group assignments and projects on topics that are not only interesting but also relevant in today’s scenario. They are also asked to make presentations. It makes them not only dig information on their own but also forces them to interpret the information that they have gathered. This really helps in making them confident in their abilities. Most of the events organised by the college are managed entirely by the students under the supervision of teachers. It helps in building their capacity for event management. It also teaches them the benefits of cooperation. 60 2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators? The interactive teaching method used in the class rooms is the first step in cultivating critical, rational and scientific thinking. Bookish and rote learning are not promoted by most of the teachers. Some of the teachers conduct open book class test to emphasise that books can help only to a certain extent and beyond that one has to apply one’s thinking prowess to solve problems in real life. This method really opens the eyes of the students regarding real learning. Projects and assignments are designed in such a way that they inculcate a habit of logical thinking amongst the students. Seminars, discussions and debates also go a long way in encouraging the students to develop a scientific temper. There are societies like FINA (Forum for International and National Awareness), Literary Meditations, and Rajneeti Vigyan Parishad that organise such events regularly in which the students participate wholeheartedly. 2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning - resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open educational resources, mobile education, etc. The college has well equipped computer labs having internet facility for both the students as well as the teachers. List of important websites are made available to them for educational purposes. The college campus is Wi-Fi enabled which helps the teachers and students to access internet on their laptops. Some of the class rooms and the seminar hall have projectors. They are used to make presentations. 61 Library users have access to a large number of e-books and journals through INFLIBNET as the college library is connected to the Central Library of the University of Delhi. 2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)? University of Delhi revises and updates the syllabus and especially the reading list for different courses on a regular basis for the undergraduate courses in consultation with the college teachers teaching the courses. The teachers are supposed to teach from the books that are being used in some of the top ranking universities in the world. This has forced the teachers of quite a few departments of the college to update themselves regularly and help, in turn, their students become world-beaters. All the departments of the college organise seminars and conferences regularly on different topics to keep themselves abreast of the new developments in their fields of expertise. Students are also encouraged to participate in such seminars and workshops. The teachers of the college also participate in seminars, workshops and conferences organised by other institutions within India and abroad. This helps in exposing teachers to new ideas and concepts developed elsewhere in the world. University of Delhi project called Gyanodaya, in which Dyal Singh Evening College students have been participating, has also helped in giving real life exposure to study and analyse various aspects of life using primary data. Innovation project of the University of Delhi has also helped the students and teachers alike of the college in developing their skill base. In fact, three of the teachers of Dyal Singh Evening College got teaching excellence award for innovation in 2015. 62 2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students \benefitted) on the academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance services (professional counselling/mentoring/academic advise) provided to students? Academic counselling of students starts right at the time of admissions. They are counselled about the course that is best suited for them on the basis of their aptitude and their performance in the qualifying examination. Once they take admission, their teachers explain them the approach they should adopt to do justice to their course and their talent. Teachers also explain them the scope and career prospects of the course. Students who are interested in higher learning are counselled on the institute that suits them best within the country or abroad. Whenever needed they are provided with recommendation letters also. The college also has an exclusive notice board that specifically caters to career and higher studies guidance and provides information regarding seats of higher learning, scholarships available to the students for higher studies, internships and jobs available, and so forth. Besides the teachers, the college also provides career counselling by external experts by inviting them to address and interact with the students. To judge the aptitude of the students, tests are also conducted by these experts. Teachers also act as friends, philosophers and guides of the students. In fact, the bonding that the students develop with their teachers during the course of their stay in the college is such that they prefer to fall back on their teachers for any kind of support. Teachers are the real source of their strength. The college also provides professional counselling to the students. Experts like Padmashri Shovana Narayan and Ms Kamla Bhasin and others have been gracious enough to counsel students on the psychosocial aspects of gender. 63 2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are the efforts made by the institution to encourage the faculty to adopt new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student learning? The college aims to provide a holistic development of the students. The college provides plenty of flexibility within a broad outline to the teachers to adopt various techniques to achieve this goal. A greater focus is on the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of a topic rather than on the ‘what’ of it. It effectively translates into the teachers discussing a concept in an interactive fashion instead of just describing it in a lecture. This also makes the students enjoy their subject and retain the concepts that they learn for a longer period without having to memorise them. Better and deeper understanding of concepts results in greater selfconfidence, which in turn propels students to achieve great heights in their lives. Teachers have started using tools like projectors and laptops to make power point presentations to supplement their lectures. Dissemination and assimilation of ideas and knowledge has become much easier with the use of technology. Many teachers use personal class room speaker systems to address the students in class. Teachers have involved students in innovative projects to give them practical knowledge about the things they learn in the class rooms. In fact, three of the college teachers were awarded by the University for this. Since the use of emails and smartphone applications like ‘Whatsapp’ and ‘hike’ have become all pervasive, teachers are using these tools to connect with students, provide them additional study material and solve their problems promptly. Use of such technologies has made teachers extremely accessible and available for students’ diverse needs. Departments teaching languages engage with the students on a regular basis facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and discussions and also invite 64 faculty from other departments for a holistic understanding of the context within which literature is written, published, circulated and consumed. Presentations and workshops on communication skills help students develop leadership qualities, speaking skills etc. Film screenings, followed by expert comments and discussion, help students to understand how a literary text is adapted, which further enhances their critical sensibilities and capabilities. Industry-college interaction is encouraged by the college to increase practical knowledge and employability of the students. 2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process? Our college library is an integral part of the propagation of knowledge and offers unique opportunities to learn. More than 60,000 books on different topics are there in the library for the students and teachers alike. The college library has subscription for 26 journals to cater to the need for latest information, development and analysis in the varied fields relevant for the students and teachers. 2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these. In the last four years the University of Delhi has seen very frequent changes in the complete system of teaching undergraduate courses. Initially, the system was changed from the Annual Mode to the Semester Mode. Then the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) was introduced. Next year it was withdrawn at the last moment and the earlier Semester system was reintroduced. Finally, last year CBCS was introduced. Though the college firmly believes that changes are necessary to move forward but they should be well thought out and once the system is changed, it should be allowed to settle down to see whether it is working or not. However, the college has always 65 taken these changes in the right spirit and has tried to face the challenges in the best possible manner. The college has tried to procure all the new readings in the library as quickly as possible so that the students don’t suffer from the change in the course. In the annual mode, time never used to be a problem. To overcome the paucity of time in the new modes, the teachers prepare lecture materials and distribute them through emails and smartphone apps like Whatsapp and hike. The students are asked to go through the material before they come to the class as it saves plenty of time and helps make discussions more coherent. Topics and their broad outlines, together with relevant reading materials are given to the students beforehand so as to save time on discussing them in the class hours. Regular departmental meetings have become a norm to monitor the progress of coverage of syllabus. The teachers are always happy to take extra classes whenever the need arises. Meetings and functions are scheduled in such a way that they hamper least number of classes. The college makes an extra effort to keep abreast of changes and to implement changes immediately without any loss of time. 2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning? The college not just focuses on the quality of the end result of students’ performance in university examinations but also on the process through which these results are achieved. Senior teachers take the lead in sharing their experiences or the ‘art of teaching’ with their junior colleagues. In fact, some of the junior faculty members, on their own volition, attend the classes with the students to 66 learn the intricacies of innovative teaching styles from their colleagues and also gain knowledge in the process. Informal discussions amongst the teachers on relevant topics to be discussed with the students have become a norm rather than an aberration in some of the departments. Internal assessment of the students is a continuous process that helps the college to keep a tab on the quality of teaching-learning. End-semester results of the students are analysed by the respective departments. 2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies adopted by the college in planning and management (recruitment and retention) of its human resource (qualified and competent teachers) to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum. Dyal Singh Evening College uses its human resource (qualified and competent teachers) potential to maximum and optimal level. So far the college has been able to adequately handle the ever changing requirements of the curriculum. For the last four academic years the college has incorporated the following courses: Programmes / Courses Offered: 2012 – 2013 2013 – 2014 2014 – 2015 2015 – 2016 B. Com. (Hons.) B. Com. (Hons.) B.

The college has applied for B.A. (Hons.) in History, Economics and some other courses and the moment these courses get approval from the University authorities, our college will be able to induct new faculties. Apart from the teaching faculty, Dyal Singh Evening College has permanent as well as temporary support in the form of non-teaching staff. In total 19 (nineteen) permanent non-teaching staff are employed in the college and all desk support staff have requisite computer skills. 68 Teacher’s selection / Recruitment process / procedure: In terms of the selection procedure of permanent, temporary, Ad-hoc and guest teaching faculty, Dyal Singh Evening College follows all the rules and guidelines of the University of Delhi.

If we consider the qualifications of our permanent teaching staff, we can boast of having a highly qualified team, which contributes to making us one of the good colleges of the University of Delhi. Apart from it, many teachers have presented papers in various Seminars (both National and International). This indicates that Dyal Singh Evening College is one of the most academically vibrant colleges of the University of Delhi. Details of the publications are given in the evaluative reports of the various departments and/or in the annexures. 2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduce (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)?

(e.g. providing research grants, study leave, support for research and academic publications teaching experience in other national institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagements etc.) The college facilitates its faculty in their research and higher education. All policies relating to study leaves as well as duty leaves (for Refresher and Orientation programmes) for teachers are as per the guidelines of the University of Delhi. The college does not provide any grants to its teachers except for reimbursement to the fee and expenses towards Refresher and Orientation courses. However, the teacher can claim grants from the University for attending national seminars. The college does not have any awards for teachers but the University of Delhi offers excellence awards to its teachers. Recently, three teachers including Dr. Bhawna Pandey from the Department of Economics, Dr. Poonam Gupta from the Department of Commerce and Dr. Sajid Hussain from the Department of Urdu received the “Teaching Excellence Award for Innovation” in 2015. The college also facilitates its teachers to join skill development courses through adjustments to their time-tables. 71 2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards/ recognition at the state, national and international level for excellence in teaching during last four years. Enunciate how the institutional culture and environment contributed to such performance/ achievement of the faculty. Many teachers of the college have earned academic awards and recognitions.

If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process? The college has not yet adopted any formal system of student or external peer feedback for the teachers. However, self-evaluation among teachers is encouraged by the teachers-in-charge. Teachers collect the student feedback informally to adjust and improve their pedagogy, best suited to the needs of all students in a class. Criterion 2.5 2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes? Dyal Singh Evening College, being part of University of Delhi, follows all the rules and regulations about the evaluation process and reforms initiated by the University. The evaluation process is displayed on the notice board and website of the college and updated from time to time. This information is also available in the college prospectus and told to students on orientation day of the college. Students are given back their evaluated answer scripts in the case of internal assessment. Circulars/notifications are circulated among faculty members for updating their information. 2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the University that the institute has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institute on its own? The College, as per University rules, provides 25% weightage to internal assessment which comprises 5% for attendance, 10% for Assignments/Projects and 10% for Test/Presentation. College teachers are involved in the centralized evaluation of the external assessment examination. Internal assessment marks are displayed on the notice boards for students’ verification before marks are sent to University Examination Branch and if any discrepancies occur then students are free to report to teachers to rectify their marks. Then the final internal assessment marks are submitted to the University. Moderation committees are appointed to remove anomalies in the preparation of results. 73 2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the University and those initiated by the institution on its own? The college ensures the implementation of the evaluation process of the University through the circulation of all relevant information among all faculty members. Notice boards and the website of the college are the platforms through which students can see their attendance. The monthly attendance is maintained by teachers and uploaded by the college on its website. This is also ensured by the attendance committee. College also has departmental moderation committees which oversee the final moderation. 2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure student achievements. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system. Summative assessment here refers to the external examination assessment which carries 75% weight and is based on the marks obtained by the students in the theory and practical exams conducted at the end of each semester. Formative assessment here refers to the internal examination assessment and it has a weightage of 25% out of which 5% is allotted based on class attendance and the remaining 20% is awarded on the basis of class tests or assignments or on the basis of projects and other teaching-learning activities. Formative assessment motivates the students to attend the class regularly as class room teaching can’t be effectively substituted by any other method. Class tests and assignment carry a significant weightage and hence students become more serious and take their preparation seriously. Through these tests and assignments students are acquainted with their common mistakes and with the problems of the subject. Corrective measures are then taken to improve upon their performance. Since a number of the students prepare for national competitive examinations, this also helps them in building a strong base. 74 2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall developments of students (weightage for behavioural aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.) The college maintains transparency regarding the policy of internal assessment. Teachers are asked to prepare the internal assessment as per the standard methodology as defined by the University including specified marks for internal test, assignment and marks for attendance if any. The attendance is prepared on a monthly basis and periodically uploaded on the college website through which students can calculate the marks reserved for attendance. Any discrepancy in this regard is dealt with by the teachers immediately. In the matter of marks reserved for the internal test and assignment students are given back their checked answer sheets and assignments. They are supposed to sign the sheet containing their internal marks before it is actually sent to University Examination branch. Any discrepancy is dealt with by the teachers. In case the university allocates marks other than those given in the internal assessment then the college sends a request to rectify the marks of the students. 2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the College/ affiliating University? How does the College ensure the attainment of these by the students? Students are expected to have knowledge and skill to understand the complex situations of life and seek their solutions. They are motivated to be lifelong learners, good team-workers, productive, efficient and innovative. The college has various societies and organizations i.e. NCC, NSS, committees for promoting research culture, community outreach, social and environmental responsibility. Students are encouraged to show their achievements and abilities through class tests, assignments and through the participation of educational tours, workshops, conferences, seminars. Teachers also advise the students through career-counselling and help them in choosing the right career path. Teachers are constantly engaged in improving upon the skills and efforts of students through periodic guidance and evaluation. 75 2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the College and University level? Students may have some grievances with reference to evaluation processes. Students are shown their internal marks before these marks are sent to the University examination branch for the preparation of the final result and if they have any query then teachers confirm the validity of the claim of the students and make adjustment accordingly. In case the marks are different from what they were awarded in the examination then a formal request is sent by the college to rectify the marks of the students. The University also provides the revaluation facility for the revision of the external marks at a modest fee. 76 CRITERION III RESEARCH, CONSULTANCYAND EXTENSION 3.1 Promotion of research 3.1.1 Does the institution have recognized research centre/s of the affiliating university or any other agency/organization?

Does the Institution have a research committee to monitor and address the issues of research? If so, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations made by the committee for implementation and their impact. The college has a research committee comprising of Teachers-in-charge of all the departments. The research committee coordinates with the Principal Investigators of the projects regarding the implementation of the projects. 3.1.3 What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate smooth progress and implementation of research schemes/ projects? The institution promotes research initiatives by the faculty and has a facilitating environment for the same. The faculty is encouraged to take up research projects. The college provides full autonomy to the Principal Investigator of the research projects. There is timely availability of the funds and the release of resources for the projects. The college supports the Project Investigators in terms of providing adequate infrastructure required for the projects and the availability of human resource like, handling of the funds for the projects. The research projects are taken up by the faculty in addition to their current teaching workload. The ICT support required for the project is provided by the college, like, Internet facility, Wi-Fi facility, e-journals, e-books, computing facility etc. Additionally, the college is connected to the University LAN which allows access to all the journals subscribed by the University of Delhi. Also, 77 the college is a member of the INFILIBNET, wherein the faculty can access the subscribed journals from anywhere. The funds provided by the funding agency for different projects are managed separately and college provides support for the timely auditing and submission of utilization certificate to the funding agencies. 3.1.4 What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific temper and research culture and aptitude among students? The students are encouraged to actively participate in various research based projects undertaken by the college and events conducted by different departments and their societies which follow the objective of developing research culture and aptitude among students. Innovation Projects: The college encourages the faculty and students to participate in Innovation Projects. The participants formulate teams, each of which comprises of 10 students and 3 teachers. Each team then presents its research proposal. The University Innovation Cell then offers grants to a few selected teams from the university based on the strength of their proposals. Going through this rigorous process of selection helps the students inculcate a strong research aptitude. Besides this, talks, workshops and seminars are organized to develop spirit of academic discovery in students. Field trips & Educational Tours are organized by different departments for the students to provide them with practical insights into the courses in the curriculum. 3.1.5 Give details of the faculty involvement in active research (guiding student research, leading research projects, engaged in individual/collaborative research activity, etc.) 78 Faculty involved in leading research projects: S.No. Department Name of the Faculty 1 Economics Dr.Bhawna Pandey 2 Commerce Dr. Poonam Gupta 3 Urdu Dr. Sajid Hussain 4.

For this purpose, the college provides access to online journals such as (JSTOR) to both students and teachers to access online teaching-learning resources as well as to promote independent research. The institution also provides virtual-learning environment to the students through the college website which is linked to the Delhi University website.

Both the students and the teachers have been provided laptops with Internet facility so that they can make use of these at their own convenience for the completion of projects and assignments and share their work in the classrooms that have been enabled with multimedia projectors in the college premises. The aim is to promote independent learning in the students as well as to promote familiarity with the latest developments in the rapidly changing world of information and technology. All this would be with as little interference as possible by the teacher, who is encouraged here in the college, to adhere more to the role of one facilitating the process of learning rather than assuming the role of one who imparts knowledge through instruction only. 4.3.7 Does the Institution avail of the National Knowledge Network connectivity directly or through the affiliating university?

Lectures, as the primary pedagogical tool, confine the process of learning. 154 Hence, this traditional mode is enhanced and refined by promoting team project work, power-point, verbal or paper presentations and so on. The class room becomes a discursive space for the exchange of ideas fostering independence, exploration and growth.Teaching methodology is transformed from a monologue to a dialogue keeping the interest and attention of the students alive and thereby making the entire learning process an enjoyable one. The interactive mode encourages the students to ask questions and put forth their ideas. This enables the inquisitive minds to go beyond the books and learn beyond the prescribed. Using an unconventional parameter for grading success, not by materialistic yard-sticks, but by the value of education imparted, the college believes in helping the students reach their optimum potential with their feet firmly placed. Research & Development The college endeavours to expand the horizons of research and development in all subjects by enhancing and encouraging the spirit of discovery in the students. The projects and assignments are designed in a way that makes them explore the different dimensions of the concepts taught in the classroom. The structural modes of learning are complementary to classroom teaching. Furthermore, the talks and seminars conducted by various departments explore new avenues of subject specific understanding. The prescribed curriculum has an interdisciplinary approach that stimulates a spirit of enquiry and research. Along with the growth of students, development of the faculty members is equally valued at Dyal Singh Evening College.

The purport of innovations is to enhance learning by making it more efficacious and fascinating. In its enduring and interminable perusal to promote human potential, the college has instituted relevant and vital steps at the level of administration and academics. These innovations have had an apt and affirmative impact on the functioning of the college. A. Administrative Innovations: Active Website – In the world of ICT an active website helps in updating information periodically. All the notices pertaining to the college are uploaded on the college website in addition to being displayed on the respective notice boards. The website has been instrumental for collecting online survey/options from the students. Security Enhancement- As a measure to ensure a safe and secure environment, keeping in mind the increasing threats from the antisocial elements, a series of significant measures have been taken, including installation of CCTV, security lights, fencing of boundary walls with barbed wire and human surveillance. Open Door Policy- College administration adheres to the Open Door Policy. Students can freely submit their grievances to the Principal any time. Regular conventional meetings are held with Students’ Union and the concerned committee members to understand the problems being faced by the students. Due care is taken for prompt redressal. Amicable Campus for Differently abled students - Proper care is taken towards making the college campus disabled friendly. All possible modifications are being done to make the old building disabled friendly. In addition due consideration is being given in future projects. In order to cater to the needs of 182 differently abled students, the college has re-conceptualized, reworked and modified the infrastructure to make things conveniently accessible to them. Student-Teacher Ratio- Administration is taking all possible care to ensure and maintain best possible student-teacher ratio as per norms. The periodic drive to recruit permanent teaching and non-teaching staff is channelled for providing the best possible support. All India level advertisements are carried out for getting the best possible staff in the college. Advertisements at all India level are instrumental in the recruitment of the highly efficient staff in college. College Management Software: The college possesses a College Management Software installed with several modules. It has been efficaciously utilised in recent past with integrated web panels. The software adequately assists day to day student dealing and college management. B. Academic Innovations: The college faculty has successfully completed the distinguished University Innovation Project. The project was entitled Medical Tourism- A Game Changer of an Indian Tourism Economy. Dr Bhawna Pandey was the convenor of the project and Dr Sajid Hussain, Dr Poonam Gupta and Mr. Amit Kumar were the Principal Investigators. Many students from different disciplines actively participated in this project. MrVenkateshan ADG from Ministry of Tourism was the mentor for this project. The Project Team had collected information connecting the value chain and created a portal named “Holidays that Heal” with the aim to provide relevant and required information to medical tourists. The team had conducted a survey of foreign patients visiting hospitals in Delhi - NCR regions. The team worked hard with passion, determination, conviction in their hearts and minds to create the website “Holidays that Heal”. This website is a single window website which will serve as an elite information centre for overseas patients who seek to access medical facilities in India for the availability of treatment, quality and cost of treatment. The website has various important sections like medical packages, cost of medical treatments, accommodation, documents required for your trip and a list of tourist spots which patients can visit. 183 Our college has actively participated in the distinctive University’s 4th Gyanodaya Project in 2014. The aim of the college project was to understand the process and the depth of urbanization in Central India. Around 10 final year students, including girl students from diverse disciplines, along with the chief mentor of the project, Mr. Amit Kumar went on an educational trip for 7 days to Central India. Students also analysed the importance of the traditional and modern medical facilities to facilitate the speed of urbanization. The college has also recently successfully completed the 5th Gyanodaya Project under the guidance of Dr Munni Chaudhary who took the trip to Northeast India. 7.3 Best Practices: The college has a concrete vision for the accomplishment of the goals in the sphere of academics. It has identified the core values and envisioned its growth. Our college fosters to enhance the learning and credibility in terms of academics, professional and personal growth of its stakeholders by considering students, teachers and administrative support staff as a team. In our college, all colleagues apply for the set of best practices for the ultimate welfare of the learners. Faculty Members set high standards for the students and engage them in an ambitious course of study with clear goals and use their knowledge and utilise their cognizance and experience to prepare students for excellence in their academics and success in their prospective workplace. The administrative staff helps in providing the appropriate resources in the college to implement the approaches and techniques adopted by faculty members. Teaching and nonteaching staff members work in tandem with each other to improve the performance of the students. 7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college. Although none of the practices followed by us is less worthy of note, but we focus here on two of them: 184 Best Practice-A Discussion and Counselling (Psychological, Academic and Career) Goal: Clearing doubts before admission regarding choice of courses, options, scope and career etc. Ensuring proper introduction to the system so that studentsproperly understand it and avail maximum benefit out of it. Access to the Authority/Staff to address difficulties whether academic, financial or social that need attention and intervention of the authorities. The Context: Doubt Clearing Session: Students and their parents are welcome to clear their queries that the students may have after passing their twelfth examination. Introduction to the System: After admission, the college makes arrangements for the new comers to understand the college system so that they are able to make use of all the possible facilities. This enables them to become an integral part of the college. Access to the Authority/Staff: Academic counselling is provided to help them cope up with the learning environment and developing a better understanding The Practice: Open House: The college has initiated an Open House Session during admissions through an orientation programme. During these sessions, aspiring students get clarification cum counselling on their doubts from experts in respective areas. A large number of students along with their parents participate and benefit from it. This is particularly important in addressing the queries of the students from diverse backgrounds/sections, considering that Delhi University is a dream destination for all. Orientation Programme: A regular feature for first year students in the college is to introduce them to the college system and address their concerns. On this occasion, students as well as their parents are addressed by the Principal on the very first day of the academic session. They are introduced to the faculty and 185 the non-teaching staff, the college lay out, the various committees and rules and provisions pertaining to them. Participants also benefit from an interactive session with staff members post the formal programme. Open Door Policy & Regular interaction: Students as well as their parents can visit college administration (including Principal) freely to share their concern and grievance (if any). As a routine practice a session with each class is fixed by the Principal to have an open discussion. Problems and grievances, if any, are addressed as soon as possible. These interactions boost the confidence and self-esteem of the students for facing challenges and presenting their views. Psychological Counselling Session: The college attempts to give wings to fly for those who wish to soar. The college has instituted the process of psychological counselling by appointing mentors. The group of students are advised to approach their designated mentors for help. Open Access to faculty/Staff: In addition to the above facilities, the college staff (both teaching as well as non-teaching) readily welcome the queries from students as well as their parents. Evidence of Success: Pass Percentage: The improving pass percentage in University examinations over a period of time is a proof of success. Increased Self Confidence: The boost in self-esteem and confidence of the students is evident from their success and their involvement in research projects.Internships and their campus placements, along with prizes and medals won in Sports and Art and Culture. Focused Approach for Future: Students at Dyal Singh Evening College are focused and determined to build their future. They are open to and are aware of the options available to them which could be either venturing into higher education or opting to get into the job market. Students are infused with an entrepreneurial spirit and many of them have been setting up their own start up units and working together in 186 groups. The focussed approach of the college is also visible in the post college settlement of the students, which includes their placement in reputed companies as well as their admissions into various post graduate programmes in reputed universities around the world. . Socially Responsible, Disciplined and Civilized Citizen: The college encourages regular participation of students in issues of social cause, as in, blood donation camps, anti-drug/tobacco campaigns, relief activities and community services etc. These pro-active steps and social practices have been instrumental in reducing incidence of conflicts and indiscipline. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Manpower: Manpower is an integral component for success of all activities. The most important resource for this kind of counselling happens to be trained manpower. As far as psychological counselling is concerned, trained manpower in the respective field is an essentially integral component. Sparing time for all such activities, when no financial component/benefits are associated with it, does not deter or restrict colleagues/volunteers who are contributing to the noble cause. However, periodic workshops, if organised for the teachers may help them in addressing several tricky situations arising during the interactions. Financial: The college endeavours to provide financial services with the support of external sponsorship (if any) besides through the self-motivated volunteers in the system. If more financial resources could be mobilised for the activity better services/features can be added for the benefit of larger section of students. Notes (Optional): Open House: An important aspect which helps students and their parents in clearing various doubts associated with course preference and admissions etc. Orientation Programme: It is important to introduce the students to the system, its various procedures and the rules pertaining to them. Open Door Policy: This enables them easy access to information, clearing of their doubts and parents can track the progress of their wards. 187 Open Access to faculty/Staff: Staff is motivated by the positive improvement in the students and the boost to the confidence of the students through these interactions. Best Practice-B ‘Dhara Mitra’:Eco-Buddies Under the aegis of Environmental Awareness Committee, Dyal Singh Evening College has formed ‘Dhara Mitra’which is a dedicated body of students and teachers regularly involved in research, surveys and activities to enhance environment awareness and raise hope to rebuild a healthy atmosphere for ourselves and the posterity. Goal The objective of the programme is to bring positive changes in sensitivity of the people of our city towards an exigent need to safeguard the environment in which we inhabit as social beings. At the inception of Eco-Buddies in 2010, we created a Ten-Point Agenda which takes into account various aspects of environmental degradation like air, water and noise pollution and took an oath to be aware at individual level not to do any further harm to our environment. This basically involves invoking a commitment, primarily within teachers and students of Dyal Singh Evening Collegeand then to extend this commitment to community by creating awareness through a continued positive action. We aim at creating an ever increasing circle of environmentally aware and active citizens in our social and geographical space. The Context Dyal Singh Evening Collegeis located in the heart of the city. It lies at the junction of two important roads, one of which connects a very popular temple to an exclusive market place and another one which leads to a pilgrim centre associated with famous Sufi saint Nizamuddin Aulia. Because of it being in this location, the institute has to often bear the brunt of heavy traffic jams in front 188 of the main gate. This adds to high levels of noise within the premises and often a disturbed classroom discourse. We realised this problem and wanted to resolve it. Besides this, during the expansion phase of Delhi Metro Rail in 2009, the officials commenced to wipe out an entire line of our front green belt. Our students and teachers protested and tried to save some of the trees by grafting process and shift them to our back lawn. At that time many of our staff members along with the help of students planted more trees and worked towards preserving the existing ones, taking care of them. During this process, our attention was also drawn to other problems that deface our immediate environment like the plastic littering and waste disposal. It was at this juncture that an organised body to conserve the environment was formed. The Practice The first step towards environment awareness begins with making an inner promise to ourselves as an individual and as part of group that we would stick to the TEN-POINT AGENDA we have created for our group as ECOBUDDIES or ‘Dhara Mitra’. Each student and teacher takes the following oath when they join the group: 1. We will segregate bio-degradable and non-bio-degradable waste. We will not suffocate mother earth by littering plastic and will use cloth bags. 2. We will move with awareness and care in public spaces like metros, trains, buses and on streets. We will be kind to old, ill and needy. 3. We will not honk aggressively and will not give in to road rage. We will speak softly and gently on our mobile phones especially in public spaces. 4. We will not waste water and will be very economical in use of this life giving resource. 5. We will make every effort to use public transport and avoid exclusive use of cars and personal vehicles. 6. We are aware of population explosion and the resulting hazards to resources of earth, so we will not reproduce unplanned children. 7. We will never participate in cutting trees. We would plant trees on special occasions like birthdays, marriages or on occasions of joy and celebration. 189 8. We will never throw ritual leftovers into rivers and will strive to preserve our rivers. 9. We will not use fire-crackers and discourage others too. We will find innovative ways of celebrating festivals. 10. We will practice and encourage patience, peace and non-violence. The second step of Eco-Buddies group is encouraging community involvement in our activities by leading through example. For instance, we organize activities like ‘Picking the Plastic’ and ‘Caring for the Neglected Plants’ activity every alternate Friday on campus. Eco-Buddies come in their green shirts and form groups and work on various areas of the campus and pick the tiniest bits of plastic which are often left behind by the general cleaning system of the institute. The plastic material that we gather is not only the plastic bottles but the wrappers of chocolates, plastic foils, toffees’ wraps paper plates from the canteen etc. which though tiny yet suffocate the soil. The third activity of Eco-Buddies is taking the message of environment awareness beyond the campus. To do this the Buddies regularly organize Awareness activities at the traffic Signals, parks, market places activity within three kilo-meters of the campus. We write precise, pithy messages from the Ten-Point Agenda on the placards in English and in Hindi and move out to the traffic junction outside our college. For traffic signal activity, the Eco- Buddies stand in four pathways covering each side of the traffic and when the traffic stops on their side, they go gently to the auto drivers, bikers and car drivers and tell them about the message they want to convey. The message is chosen according to the point of emphasis on a particular activity day. Evidence of Success The project that we began in 2010 has seen many phases of fulfilment which cannot be saidto be completely successful yet they are definitely steps towards success. 190 Also, it has been observed that other students of the college enthusiastically get involved in the activities of Eco-Buddies when they see them working in the campus. Outside the campus, in the parks and at traffic signals or in market places the response has been mixed. Most people are encouraging and promise to be sensitive towards the environment. However, the most important points of success are when their engagements as Eco –Buddies have led to serious research projects amongst the students. For instance, students have engaged themselves in research on noise pollution in the city and have shared their knowledge of scientific data in accessible language with the auto and taxi drivers at the Prithviraj Market taxi and auto stand. Another hallmark for the team was when one of the Eco-Buddies started a similar project in Mizoram with his colleagues after graduating from the Dyal Singh Evening College. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Some of the problems that we encountered were: Although we strive to train our students to become good human beings and to shield themselves against negative vibes, some of us feel disillusioned by the way some people perceive our actions/ notions towards positive changes. At times, when we organize activities outside the campus, we face criticism and mockery by cynical people and non-cooperation from the local bodies. The second problem we encounter is to regulate the funding for the activities. As the activities are very regular and we need some resources like plastic gloves, buckets, mugs, soaps, refreshments for students especially in the summer season, we often have to build our own collection to sponsor these activities. 191 EVALUATIVEREPORTOFTHED EPARTMENT OF C OMMERCE 1.

There is shortage of permanent teaching staff. 60% of the commerce teachers are working on Ad-hoc basis in the department. 3. Regular interaction of the students with the industry is lacking. Opportunities 1. Commerce is one of the most sought after and ever growing subject of study. Students have ample opportunity to apply for various post graduate and professional courses such as CA, CS, ICWA, MBA, NET, and IAS and so on. 2. To promote research activities by getting grants from various funding agencies. 3. To collaborate with industry and alumni. 4.

Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and extension activities The Department of Economics had organized an outstation educational trip in order to study the socio-economic and educational challenges faced by the rural girl child in disaster affected districts in Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The faculty and the students of the department interacted with the NGO – Manav Bharti, which provided us with information regarding the economic and social aspects of the lives of the people in this region and the contributions made by the NGO in improving the lives of local inhabitants through social work conducted on a wide scale. The department has decided to work for these disaster hit people by providing the NGO with academic assistance. The college, as an academic partner, has signed its 1st MOU with the NGO. 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plan of action Strengths i. Highly qualified faculty (out of 11 faculty members, 2 are PhDs, 3 are M.Phil, 4 presently pursuing PhD). ii. Faculty members actively pursue research and regularly participate in National and International seminars. iii. Hard working and dedicated faculty. iv.

This has led to relatively less number of students specializing in Economics after graduation. ii. Insufficient industry and field exposure to students. iii. Lower proportion of permanent teachers in faculty. iv. Insufficient number of tutorial rooms. Opportunities i. The department is expecting to get a regular Economics Honours Programme. ii. The department has already applied for the Business Economics Programme. iii. Scope of Student-industry interaction on a broader scale. Challenges i. Many students face difficulty in the discipline due to inadequate training in Mathematics at the school level. ii. Many students, especially in B.A. (Programme), find difficulty in accessing the study material in their preferred language. Future Plans i. The department is planning to initiate a student exchange programme. ii. Teaching of software skills to students in order to enhance their employability and research aptitude. iii. The department plans to add to its existing academic resources of books and software subscriptions. 220 EVALUATIVE REPORT OF T HE D EPARTMENT OF ENGLISH 1. Name of the department: English 2.

Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning 228 The department organises various departmental seminars to develop students’ critical skills. The department engages with the students on a regular basis, facilitates interdisciplinary interactions and discussions and also invites faculty from other departments for a holistic understanding of the context within which literature is written, published, circulated and consumed. Presentations and workshops on Communication Skills help students develop leadership qualities, speaking skills etc. Film screenings followed by expert comments and discussion help students to understand how a literary text is adapted, which further enhances their critical sensibilities and capabilities. We take the teaching process beyond classroom learning by encouraging students to write scripts of texts they are reading and perform them as part of their group projects. Creative writing, and self-composed poetry recitation competitions provide wings to students creative imagination and hone their writing skills. The department has also invited creative writers to share their experiences with the students to make them understand the creative process. The Literary Society of the Department, ‘Literary Meditations’ conducts the annual intra-college and inter-college festivals. To fine tune the oratory skills of the students declamation and recitation competitions are a regular feature with the department. To create a corpus of critical support material for the Honours students a departmental library is being maintained and annually supplemented. The department also offered ELPC, an add-on self-financed course.(English Language Proficiency Course) 34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities: The students and the faculty members of the department actively participate in Programmes like ‘Swachchata Abhiyaan’, Tree Plantation, Women Empowerment Programmes, Blood Donation Camps, National Social Service Activities, Health Awareness Programmes, Natural Disaster Management etc. 229 35. SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) analysis of the department and Future plan. Strengths: The department has a highly qualified faculty with research experience and interests in diverse fields. The department works as a cohesive unit for the betterment of the students by holding departmental seminars to develop their critical skills. The department engages with the students on a regular basis. We hold interdisciplinary interactions and discussions and also invite faculty from other departments like Hindi, Sanskrit, Political Science, Sociology and Economics for a holistic understanding of the context within which literature is written, published, circulated and consumed. To help students develop composite personalities the department has been organizing presentations and workshops on Communication Skills, Developing Leadership Qualities, Soft Skills etc. The department screens films followed by expert comments and discussion to understand how a literary text is adapted and to further develop their critical sensibilities and capabilities. In order to make class rooms interesting and to further develop their interest in the text we encourage them to write scripts of texts and perform as part of their group projects. This takes the teaching process beyond the class room. The department holds Creative writing, and self-composed poetry recitation competitions for students to give wings to their creative imagination and hone their writing skills. The department has also invited creative writers to share their experiences with the students to make them understand the creative process. The Literary Society of the Department, ‘Literary Meditations’ conducts the intra-college and inter college festivals. A Two-day Inter-College Literary Festival is an important annual feature where we have literary Quiz, Panel discussions, Paper reading competitions, Role playing, Sloganwriting, Short film reviews, Drama competitions etc. To fine tune the oratory skills of the students declamation and recitation 230 competitions are a regular feature with the department. To create a corpus of critical support material for the Honours students a departmental library is being maintained and annually supplemented. The department also offered ELPC an add-on self-financed course(An English Language Proficiency course). Weaknesses: More than 50% of the strength of the department is not permanent, and due to the resultant discontinuity and lack of a sense of belonging, the department suffers. As learning English is still a tough task for many of the students who come from rural background, the department misses the facility of language labs.We would do well to have an improved infrastructure with well-equipped classrooms and Seminar Hall. Opportunity and Road Map ahead: As several of the colleagues have been involved in translation work, the department can organize short term courses and workshops on translation of literary texts from other languages to English and vice versa. The department intends to begin remedial classes for students needing them. The department would like to have add-on courses on soft skills, personality development, spoken English, ELPC,Creative writing etc. to increase the employability quotient of the students. A literary Journal where faculty and students can publish both critical and creative writings would be a step towards further excellence. Challenges: We have a very heterogeneous classroom with students from different backgrounds and English Language skills. It is a challenge to make children from weaker backgrounds to excel. 231 Evaluative Report of the Department of Hindi 1. Name of the Department: Hindi 2. Year of Establishment: 1958 3.

Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities The students of the Hindi Department participate in various activities beneficial for the society under the aegis of various student societies of the college. 35. SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) analysis of the department and Future plan Strengths: Strength of the department lies in its highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty. All faculty members specialize in their fields and have vast experience on topics of their specialisations. Co-operation between faculty members, administration and students is also a great strength. Further, new innovative ways like question-answers pertaining to a topic and general knowledge quiz are held to make the learning process interesting. Use of internet, smart phones etc. is encouraged so that students use these innovative technology methods to get extra knowledge of the subject and syllabus. Weaknesses: Though not an impediment, there are issues relating to infrastructure and lack of permanent faculty. In some classes the strength of students is beyond the capacity of the room and it becomes difficult to accommodate them. The Infrastructure also needs to be upgraded. 237 Opportunities: With so many avenues opening up in modern India, the department is trying to make students aware of new mediums and its impact. This includes television, internet, online readings, cinema etc. which they can explore. Hindi being our national language has a big role to play. The Department of Hindi is always on toes to opt for newer avenues and play a major role to make the career of students brighter. Challenges: Challenges are always there and are always good. Challenges make people competitive and same applies to Hindi Deparement of our college. Sudden changes in education system in last few years have been a big challenge. It takes a lot to meetthe expectations of the new system. Hopefully newer courses will make education system healthier and brighter. Infrastructure is also a big challenge. We expect that the education department and experts will make continuous efforts to streamline our existing education system and will take note of the infrastructure required for same. 238 Evaluative Report of the Department of History 1.

Many scholars and eminent personalities have brought a good name to this department. Although it is a minority language and there are many challenges to service the language in the post-modern era. Still the prospects of this language cannot be ignored. Our department has attracted even other colleges through its mega programmes like “Sau Sawal”, Inter-college competitions like Poetry Recitation Programme and national seminars. In future, we will do more of such activities for the promotion of this department. 258 EVALUATIVE REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SANSKRIT 1. Name of the department: Sanskrit 2.

SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) Analysis of the Opportunities: The study of Sanskrit language can lead to the knowledge of Yoga, Vedas, the Ayurveda and the Indian culture. It is also pertinent for the study of research, social well-being, astrology, astronomy, political science, chemistry, physics, biology, cultural research, arts, aesthetics, music and so on. Students who study Sanskrit language can appear for any entrance examination for which minimum eligibility is B.A. We are living in an age of new technology. Based on this criterion as well, Sanskrit is acknowledged to be the most important language amongst the three thousand languages used in practical life in the whole world. This fact has been corroborated by scientists worldwide, who have affirmed that Sanskrit is the best of all the languages to be used in computer science, which is at the centre of world knowledge and science. As far as the relevance of Sanskrit in competitive exams such as the IAS and PCS is concerned, it has become extremely popular for its scientific process and for being a highly scoring subject like Mathematics. Today, the entire world has cognized the significance of Yoga and Ayurveda. If the students of Sanskrit research in these fields, they can achieve great heights and success. Challenges: In today’s globalized and materialistic world, it is a big challenge to create interest in Sanskrit language. Although this language provides opportunities in most of the fields such as science, humanities and research, it still remains a difficult task to motivate the young generation to learn the Sanskrit language, which carries infinite mysteries and preserves vast knowledge and science in its womb. 264 EVALUATIVE REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TAMIL 1.

SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) Analysis of the Urdu Department and Future plan: Strengths The faculty is easily accessible to students which compliments the discipline because 278 of it being an inter-disciplinary course in the college as of now.Students attend seminars, conferences and workshops because of which they are in regular contact with eminent scholars and authorities, who inspire them to organise academic programmes in the college as well. Weaknesses The absence of Honours course for the subject in the College as we do not get many students is what we consider as the biggest limiting factor for the faculty and the students few students who are enthusiastic about the linguistic and literary richness of the Urdu language. Opportunities We see the interest of non-Urdu students and teachers in learning Urdu as a big opportunity. Challenges Garnering popular support for a minority language is in itself a challenge. Getting enough number of good students to study Urdu, and that too without offering an Honours course, is another huge challenge. 279 Annexure - 1 Player/Athlete Game Dyal Singh Evening College Achievements in Sports 2011-12 Tournament/ Organiser Event Level Position University of Delhi Inter College II I P College Cross Country Athletics I P College Race Meet Inter College V 10,000 m. race Delhi University Athletics meet University of Delhi Inter College IV Mini Marathon SRCC College fest SRCC Inter College VIII Mini Marathon SRCC College fest SRCC Inter College X Team (Nitesh, Arjun, Delhi Pankaj, Cross Country University Rahul, Race Athletics Manjeet, meet Marshal) University of Delhi Inter College VI Team (Ankita, Neeru, Jinisha, Lavika) Amity University Inter college III Inter college Delhi Badminton University Tournament Inter college Quarter final Thakaram Delhi University DECATHLON Athletics meet Pushpa Paul Jitender Kumar Table Tennis Team (Kamal, Vishant, R.
