Preface
Sri Raja Rangayyapparao and Chunduri Venkata Reddy Government Degree College (SRR
& CVR Government Degree College) situated in Vijayawada, the new capital region of Andhra Pradesh
is an octogenarian institution and the only government degree college in the city that has been serving,
true to its vision, mission and objective, the cause of education lighting the lamp of knowledge in the
hearts and houses of many marginalized and socio-economically backward classes of the society.
Established by Sri Rajah Venkatadri Appa Rao Bahadur, Zamindar of Nuzivid and Sri
Chunduri Venkata Reddy, a local industrialist and Philanthropist in 1937, the college was handed
over to the Government of Andhra Pradesh w.e.f 01-07-1958. Since then the college is named as
SRR & CVR Government College.
The college is affiliated to Krishna University. In 2004 the college opted for its first
assessment and accreditation by NAAC and was accredited at B++ grade. In the second cycle the
college went for accreditation in 2011, and was accredited at B grade with 2.70 CGPA.
The institution has 9 post-graduate courses and 23 UG courses with 76 regular faculty
members, including 3 redeployed and 2 contract faculty members. There are 26 guest faculty
members. The number of non-teaching staff is 29. The strength of the college was 1859 during the
last academic year i.e. 2015-16. Though the quality of input is average because of the economically
poor and underprivileged students, the output of the institution is fairly good. In the last four years
many students progressed to higher degrees, and a good number has secured jobs through on and off
campus job drives organized by the Jawahar Knowledge Centre.
A number of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are designed to augment the
studies. The college play ground is always abuzz with sports activities. As part of the institutional
social responsibility the college organizes Swaccha Bharat, blood donation and medical camps,
AIDS awareness and Gender sensitization programmes and joy of sharing practices. The NSS and
NCC units of the college were appreciated for the service rendered during the Krishna Pushkarmas
in August 2016. In keeping with the institution’s upholding of the great tradition of literary and
cultural excellence, the college organizes Yuvatarangam cultural festival. The UGC expert
committee visited the college for assessment and granting autonomy in October 2016. The college
received communication from the UGC that autonomy has been conferred on the college from the
next academic year i.e 2017-18.
The college acknowledges whole heartedly the support and guidance of the
Commissioner of Collegiate Education, AP in all its endeavours. The college expresses its
gratefulness to the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar of Krishna University for their cooperation.
And the college is thankful to the Regional Joint Director, Collegiate Education for his
encouragement.
The college is now going for accreditation in the third cycle, and hopes to climb another
step.

Executive Summary
SRR & CVR Government Degree College, founded by the erstwhile zamindar of
Nuzvid, Sri Raja Venkatadri Apparao in memory of his father Sri Raja Rangayyapparao,
whose name the college bears, and supported by the munificence of the philanthropist Sri
Chunduri Venkata Reddy, was served by great stalwarts like Kalaprapoorna Dr. Viswanatha
Satyanarayana, the first Jnanapeetha award winner from South India, Satavadhani Dr. Perala
Bharata Sarma, the great scholar Sri Jatavallabhula Purushottam to name but a few. It had
produced students who became Chief Ministers, Governors, Statesmen, Entrepreneurs,
Doctors, Teachers, Scientists, Sportsmen and many more who continue to shine in every field
of social activity. This great past has always been an inspiration to this institution, which. now
in its ninth decade of existence, aims to achieve more in terms of academic excellence, social
relevance, global influence, scientific significance and self-reliance.
The academic and allied efforts of the institution have twice been assessed in the past by
NAAC resulting in an appreciable B++ and B grades. Standing Behind Another or Being not
at the Apex is not a prospect accepted by the self-respecting individual or institution. Making
strenuous and committed efforts to overcome the short comings pointed out by the Peer
Teams, propelling itself to raise the bar a little higher, and attuning itself to the academically
changing progressive notes, the institution has stridden forward, and its concentrated
scholastic efforts are presented in the following pages for the third cycle of accreditation.
The preparation of the self-study report has indeed been a valuable introspection on the
part of the institution into its last four years of academic journey analyzing its strengths and
weaknesses based on the seven criteria of evaluation, and understanding the opportunities and
challenges that are extant. This is a team effort with all the stakeholders of the institution,
especially the staff and the students taking part in giving a final shape to this SSR.
The steering committee has diligently prepared this report, in consultation with one and
all, so that a comprehensively analytical report can be submitted to the accreditation
committee. The Steering Committee that has been entrusted with the responsibility of
preparing this report is:

Curricular Aspects:
The college prepares a comprehensive Annual Academic Plan which includes all the
curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activity plans. The changes in the syllabus are
discussed by the staff, and the college arranges workshops on syllabus on need basis. Bridge
classes and Foundation classes are conducted for the benefit of those students who need to be
familiarized with the subject. Through guest lectures, additional inputs, field visits and other
means, the teaching plans are implemented. The performance of the students is assessed
through class room activities also.
Feedback from students is collected, and the faculty members who are on the various
boards of studies of the University discuss the curriculum in the subsequent meetings. Add on
courses and certificate courses are planned by the college to fill the gaps in the syllabi, and to
enhance the job opportunities for the students.
Choice Based Credit System with semester-end examinations was introduced from the
academic year 2015-16. This has helped in making the students more focused on the studies.
Training in communication and soft skills is given to the students through the Jawahar
Knowledge Centre.
Gender sensitization, Environmental education, Human values and Human Rights are
taught through papers in syllabus and organizing awareness programmes. The IQAC monitors
the implementation of the Institutional Academic Plan, and analyzes the feedback received
from the students on curriculum and teachers. Eight new programmes have been introduced at
UG and PG level in the last couple of years.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 7
Analysis: The introduction of Choice Based Credit System is helpful to the students. The
faculty members are also motivated to prepare more semester specific seminars, assignments
and others co-curricular programmes. The formative and continuous assessment systems have
helped in forging a better teacher-student relationship. The college, which has recently been
visited by the UGC expert committee for granting autonomy, has received communication that
autonomy has been granted from the next academic year, which paves way to introduce
curricular reforms suitable to the local needs.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 8
more student-centered. The introduction of the CBCS pattern which combines both the
formative and summative assessments, has also contributed to it.
The college has organized sixteen National seminars and workshops in the last four
years to help the faculty interact with their peers, know the latest developments in the
concerned fields, and share their ideas and views with a larger audience. The faculty is
encouraged to adopt innovative teaching and evaluative practices. Optimum utilization of the
library and computer facilities both by the students and the staff is supported by the extended
library hours and computer utilization hours.
Self-appraisal by the staff is submitted to the Commissioner of the Collegiate Education.
The CCE conducts an annual academic audit of the institution. This helps the institution keep
focused on its goals and objectives.
Analysis: The institution has been successfully implementing new teaching methods that
are ICT based. This has resulted in a significant improvement in student performance. The
college has adopted the CBCS pattern which also makes the students more anchored to their
studies.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 9
Students participate in community and extension works through NSS and NCC. The
Krishna Pushkarams which were conducted on a large scale by the state government in August
2016 gave an opportunity to the students to interact with different types of people and learn
practical lessons in crowd control, resource management and selfless service.
Most of the departments have MoUs with nearby industries, institutions and other
associations. Even as an affiliated college, the institution is trying to optimize these linkages
for the benefit of the students.
Analysis: Though there has been some improvement in the field of research on the
campus, we are trying to do more to claim to be an active research centre. As there is no
budgetary provision for research under the present system, the college has to depend on the
UGC funds for any research activity. However, individual staff members are engaged in
continuous research work, and a number of research papers have been published by them.
The MoUs also need to be increased.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 10
All the departments have computers and internet facility. The whole campus has Wi-Fi
connectivity. The well-equipped Jawahar Knowledge Centre imparts Communication and Soft
skills to the students.
A 10 KW solar power plant supplies power to the whole campus. An RO plant is
established for the supply of pure water to the students.
Analysis: The institution needs improvement in its infrastructural facilities. The growing
interest in the add on and certificate courses along with the increase in UG and PG programs
offered is creating a demand for more rooms. The college being a government institution, the
facilities are either to be sanctioned or approved by the government, which involves a lot of
paper work and delays.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 12
unique culture of the college. But this is the common feature of all government colleges. And
the teachers understand this and quickly adapt themselves to the new environment. As most of
the government colleges run on the same managing and governing principles, not much
difference is felt during the functioning of the college. Still, however small a stone it be, when
thrown into water, it creates some ripples, and the water needs some time to calm down.
SWOC Analysis

1.1.7 Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered (other than those under
the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If ‘yes’, give details on the process (’Needs
Assessment’, design, development and planning) and the courses for which the curriculum
has been developed.
At present as an affiliated college, there is no provision for the college to develop curriculum
independently. However, curriculum has been developed for the various certificate courses
offered by the college. As the college functions in autonomous status from the next academic
year, starting with the 2017-18 batch, changes in the curriculum will be implemented on need
basis.
Presently certificate courses are planned, designed and implemented thus:
Study of the Need: Employment opportunities, Knowledge enhancement, Gap filling
between the syllabus and the industry requirement etc.
Design & Development: Check whether such a course is offered elsewhere, if so what
is the syllabus, what modifications need to be made, how many hours of instruction are
needed, whether theory or practical, prepare evaluation system, list the experts and
resource persons, and get the blue print ready, and submit it to the IQAC/Principal for
approval
Introduction and Planning: Interact with the experts wherever necessary to invite them
to take classes, plan instruction hours, prepare the time-table, announce the course to
the students, motivate them to join, and implement the course
Review and Report: On successful completion of the course to one batch, review the
course and its impact, and prepare a report for submission to the IQAC/Principal for
their approval to continue or discontinue the course.
At present the college is offering twenty four certificate courses all together, and
these are offered by the streams of Arts, Commerce and Science.
1.1.8 How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum are achieved in
the course of implementation?
The institution follows the state common core syllabus as prescribed by the University.
Through feedback from students it analyzes the whether the expected objectives are met with
or not, and by equipping the faculty with proper training it ensures the implementation of the
syllabus
Student feedback on curriculum is obtained, semester-wise, analyzed and discussed in the
next BoS meeting in case of University courses. If necessary, training sessions are
arranged for the teachers to equip them better for teaching the new curriculum.
For students whose learning levels are slow or not up to the expected mark, remedial
classes are conducted.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 35
In case of certificate and add on courses introduced by the college, regular review
meetings are held with the concerned department, and an analysis is made on the expected
outcome of the course. Based on that, further action is initiated for continuation,
modification or discontinuation of the course.
Academic Flexibility
1.2.1 Specifying the goals and objectives give details of the certificate/diploma/ skill development
courses etc., offered by the institution.
The college is offering around twenty-four certificate courses as of now. A few of these
courses, however, will be started in the months of January-February. Almost all the
departments offer certificate courses. Some of these courses are add-on courses designed to
enrich the knowledge of the students. Some other courses are designed as skill development
courses that will provide job opportunities.

1.2.2 Does the institution offer programmes that facilitate twinning/ dual degree? If ‘yes’, give
details.
As an affiliated college, the institute cannot offer dual degrees. There is no provision for
twinning degrees also. However, students are eligible to enroll themselves for online
certificate courses, and some of the IGNOU and BRAOU courses for a simultaneous study.
Around 200 students enrolled themselves for MOOCs courses during the current
academic year
Around 70 students enrolled themselves for NPTEL online certificate courses.
1.2.3 Give details on the various institutional provisions with reference to academic flexibility and
how it has been helpful to students in terms of skills development, academic mobility,
progression to higher studies and improved potential for employability. Issues may cover the
following and beyond:
• Range of Core / Elective options offered by the University and those opted by the
college
• Choice Based Credit System and range of subject options
• Courses offered in modular form
• Credit transfer and accumulation facility
• Lateral and vertical mobility within and across programmes and courses
• Enrichment courses
At present being an affiliated college, the institute has to offer the approved
combinations of groups only. From the academic year 2015-16, Krishna University introduced
Choice Based Credit System following the guidelines of the UGC. As this system is still in the
nascent stage only with not even a full batch completing the course in this pattern, early
hiccups are to be sorted out. As such there is no scope for lateral or vertical mobility within or
across the courses, and no complete freedom for selection of the subjects is vested with the
student. However, the college offers some flexibility in changing the group option before the
closure of the admissions by the University.
The students of all programmes are free to enroll themselves in the training
programmes offered by Jawahar Knowledge Centre and Tata Institute of Social Sciences
modules to enhance their skills and employability. Similarly, they can also join the various
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 37
courses offered by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University and IGNOU present on the campus
for furthering their education.
However, the college which has received the autonomous status from next
academic year wants to implement credit transfer and accumulation of credits to those
students who enroll themselves in NCC, NSS and Yoga programmes from next year onwards.

A little bit of lateral mobility is allowed in the present system. A student who joins
one programme can change the group based on the availability of the seats before
the admissions are closed in the first year. If seats are available, the student can
change the programme also based on his entry level eligibility.
For example, a student who joins Economics, History, and Politics group of B.A
can change his group, and choose a different combination from among those
offered in B.A.
Similarly, a student who joins B.A. stream can move to B.Com/B.Sc and vice-
versa subject to the availability of the seats, and his fulfilling the eligibility
criteria.
• Enrichment courses
The certificate courses offered by the college are designed to be enrichment
courses also.
MOOCs and NPTEL courses are enrichment courses, and students are encouraged
to join them.
1.2.4 Does the institution offer self-financed programmes? If ‘yes’, list them and indicate how they
differ from other programmes, with reference to admission, curriculum, fee structure, teacher
qualification, salary etc.
The college offers the following approved self-financed courses. Admission to
these courses is based on the University guidelines, and follows the regular admission
procedure. No separate admission policy is followed for these courses. The curriculum for
these courses is framed by the University, and no separate recruitment of teachers is made for
these courses. However, the college is permitted to appoint Guest Faculty for conducting these
courses, where the workload of the regular teachers does not permit them to handle any extra
class work. These are unique combination of courses and differ from the general courses only
in the fee structure.

different walks of life
1.3.5 Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from stakeholders in
enriching the curriculum?
Feedback collected from the stakeholders such as the students, staff, parents,
alumni and the community is analyzed to understand the need of the day both in terms of
facilities on the campus and the components of the curriculum.
The perceived curriculum needs are conveyed to the University at BoS meetings,
and through requests and memoranda. Wherever possible, the college takes the initiative to
start a certificate/diploma or crash course in the area of immediate necessity.
To cite an example, the Departments of Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit have come
together to start a certificate course in DTP with special focus on Indian
Language typing skills as the feedback received from the community pointed
to the potential job market in the print and publishing industry for which
Vijayawada is always famous. An interaction with a few publishers helped in
designing the course as per the needs of the local market.
1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment programmes?
The IQAC carefully analyzes the programmes introduced, the feedback received
and the opinions expressed by the experts, and offers necessary suggestion to the concerned
department in the following way:
Suggestions from experts are solicited before designing the programme, and also after
conducting the programme.
Feedback from students is obtained, and the outcome of the programme is reviewed by
the department, and a report is submitted to the IQAC.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 45
The IQAC on its part studies the report, and discusses with the Staff Council if needed.
And necessary suggestions are then communicated to the concerned department for the
required modifications by the IQAC.
1.4 Feedback System
1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of the curriculum
prepared by the University?
Faculty members who are also members of the Board of Studies suggest within the
approved limits modifications and changes, if necessary, before endorsing the curriculum
prepared by the University.
The institution encourages the staff to supplement and enrich the syllabus prescribed with
additional inputs through lecturing, supply of material, assigning projects etc.
Wherever necessary, the college asks the concerned departments to design a certificate
course and encourages the students to join it to get benefited in the University exams.
1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and stakeholders on
Curriculum? If ‘yes’, how is it communicated to the University and made use internally for
curriculum enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes?
Yes, there exists a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from the students on curriculum.
Previously the out-going batch (Final year students) used to give feedback, but with the
introduction of Choice Based Credit System with Semester model, feedback is collected
from the students at the end of each semester in a prescribed format. The concerned
departments analyze the feedback along with the feedback from the faculty, and represent
to the University during the BoS meetings or through memoranda.
Feedback received from other stakeholders is used mainly to start new courses,
combinations or certificate courses.
1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the institution during the last four
years? What was the rationale for introducing new courses/programmes?)
Six PG and one UG programmes were introduced by the college in the last four years.
And as many as fifteen certificate and add on courses were also introduced. While most of the
post graduated programmes were introduced based on their research and job opportunities, a
number of certificate courses were introduced as enrichment/add on courses.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and student profiles
annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the
improvement of the process?
Student Profiles:
Yes, student profiles are collected after the admissions.
Ward counsellors are appointed for each group, the counsellor usually being a
lecturer who teaches that group.
The counsellors for I year classes collect student profiles in the prescribed format.
The profiles are analyzed with respect to the social, economic and parental literacy
status of the students, and tabulated.
These profiles are used to monitor the student progression in the II and III years.
The outcome of the analysis of these profiles is the adoption of suitable teaching plan,
planning early remedial measures, and designing appropriate class room activities.
A satiating observation is that while a good number of students from the feeding Junior
college joined the Degree courses, many Degree students preferred the college for
continuing their Master’s Degree.

To improve the admission rate in the college, the following measures are adopted
Concessional Bus Pass facility to all the students admitted in the college
Financial support to pay admission fee
Reimbursement of fee according to the government policy
Scholarships to the students belonging to the reserved categories
Conducting sensitizing programmes to the students of Junior college about the
courses and career opportunities available at Degree level
Conducting special classes to students participating in sports and games, NCC camps
and other extra-curricular activities
2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for 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
The college being a government institution strongly believes in and adheres to the
National commitment of inclusion and diversity, and offering equal opportunities to the
under privileged sections of the society. Hence reservations to all the above mentioned
sections are made according to the government regulation. That more than 85% of the
students admitted in the college belong to these sections alone reinforces the commitment
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 50
of the college to these ideals. The following tables show the number of students admitted
under different categories in the last two years.

2.1.6 Provide the following details for various programmes offered by the institution during the
last four years and comment on the trends. i.e. reasons for increase / decrease and actions
initiated for improvement.
The college offers mainly three undergraduate programmes, namely, BA, BCom and BSc
with twenty-one combinations or groups, and the number of post graduate programmes are
also three, namely MA, MCom and MSc, and the subjects offered are ten. The following
table presents the admission picture into the three undergraduate programmes for the last four
years, including the present year.

Year of admission
A study of the above table shows that admissions into BCom are more or less steady,
and do not fluctuate very much. Same is the case with admissions into the science stream till
last year. This year there has been a 25% rise in BSc admissions. Admissions into the BA
stream recorded 90% rise during 2014-15, but dropped by 25% this year. One reason that can
be attributed to the increase in the science admissions is the realization among the students
and the parents that employment opportunities have increased for science graduates and
decreased for engineering graduates as nowadays more and more job offering companies are
preferring science graduates over engineering graduates especially during on campus
recruitment drives. Regarding BA, it seems students still do not consider it as an employment
guarantee course. BCom maintains its reputation of being a job fetching degree.
The demand ratio as such is higher in case of BCom and BSc when compared with BA.
Given below is the table showing the demand ratio for various courses for the current year.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion,
environment etc.?
Gender and Inclusion
The college has a strong and functional Women Empowerment Cell that arranges
meetings with girl students every month and discusses current issues involving
women’s problems.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 55
Sensitization programmes are arranged where guests address the students to create
awareness in them on issues related to gender, inclusion and equality. The convener
of the Women Empowerment Cell also regularly interacts with girls and conducts
sensitization and awareness programmes for them.
On 8.3.2016 International Women’s Day was celebrated under the chairmanship
of Dr. V. Ravi, Principal.
On 21.8.2016 a programme on Gender sensitization was conducted where Mrs.
Sri Devi, Secretary, AIDWA, Vijayawada addressed the students about Gender
discrimination and the need for awakening in the girls.
On 20.9.2016 a health camp was conducted with the collaboration of Love All
Universe Foundation. Two eminent doctors, Dr. PRK Bhargava, MS, MCh
(SGPGI) FAIS Endocrinologist, and Dr. KB Gayatri, MD, DNB, MNAMS, CUG
(Urogyn), Assistant Professor (PSIMS) examined the students and gave necessary
advice to the students. After that they delivered a lecture to the students on the
need for love in this universe.
Sensitization programme for girls was conducted on 7-01-2015 by the Women
Empowerment Cell Convener Dr. D. Umarani.
An awareness programme for Future mothers was conducted on 5-08-2015 by
WEC Convener Dr. D. Umarani.
A programme --Relationships and Feelings—was conducted on 26-09-2015 by
WEC.
Smt. K. Sujatha, Lecturer in Physics conducted a Gender sensitization programme
titled Gender Equality – Our responsibilities on10-09-2014.
The college being a co-educational college, the management takes special care in
ensuring the participation of girl students in all programmes and events.
Environment
The Eco Club of the college creates awareness among the students and the public
regarding the safeguarding of the environment by organizing tree plantation, rallies
and competitions.
One of the Best Practices of the college is the observation of the third Saturday in
every month as Vehicle Free Saturday
Presenting saplings to the guests at every occasion and event, which they plant on the
campus, is also one of the Best Practices of the institute.
Green Audit is conducted every year.
The first year students of all UG programmes study a paper on Environmental
Studies.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 56
State government programmes such as Vanam – Manam, Swacch Bharat, Swacch
Andhra Pradesh etc. are conducted.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of
advanced learners?
Every good educational institution must cater to the diversified needs of its students.
Just as remedial classes are conducted for the slow learners, additional knowledge enrichment
programmes and material must be offered to the advanced learners. The college understands
this need, and has created many avenues to tap the talents of its advanced learners.
Special student projects with higher difficulty level
Priya of III BBM got I prize in State level Study Project Competition—
Yuvatarangam
Md. Ayesha BZC secured 1st place in State Yuvatarangam in Hindi Essay
Competition.
Recommending them for training and study programmes requiring higher analytical
and logical skills
K Divya participated in MTTS programme at Goa University, sponsored by the
Dept of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India.
Making available to them more learning resources like e books and e journals.
Allowing them to use computer and other equipment for extended hours
Encouraging them to join the various online courses offered by reputed institutions
Coaching them for PGCET and competitive examinations.
Presenting Endowment awards in recognition of their performance in the annual
examinations.
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze 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)?
The ward counselors and faculty members analyze the student profiles, and the
academic progression of the students based on their performance in home assignments and
examinations. They identify the probable dropouts and conduct counseling to them.
However, an informal study (through personal interaction, eliciting information from
the batch-mates etc.) of the reasons for drop out over the years suggests that the drop outs are
mostly because of parents migrating/transferred to other places, marriage and child birth (in
case of girl students), taking up jobs for family sustenance and other family problems. Some
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 57
of these drop outs have completed their degree course later after a gap of few years, in some
cases after almost a decade. Thus there are many social problems which have an impact on
academics and which can be addressed only by government agencies.
If autonomy is granted to the college, there are plans to allow the drop outs to appear
for exams as distance education students by offering them the opportunity to continue their
studies in distance mode, with the college supplying study material and arranging contact
classes.
2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process?
The IQAC is the most important agency of the college which monitors the teaching
learning process on one hand, and strives for the maintenance of quality on the other hand.
Right from the stage of the preparation of the academic plans, the IQAC involves in the
process of establishing a holistic teaching atmosphere on the campus by interacting with the
staff individually and through meetings, to evolve a dynamic and motivating teaching
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 58
process.
Towards teaching process, the IQAC contributes by:
Providing information to the faculty through the UGC coordinator regarding the
Faculty Development Programmes, Research and seminar grants etc.
Encouraging the faculty to apply for Minor Research Projects.
Discussing with the departments on the conduct of state/national
seminars/conferences.
Interacting with the Library Committee regarding the research and other journals that
are to be subscribed
Encouraging the faculty to make use of internet, ICT facilities and smart classrooms.
Making available to the faculty the self-appraisal forms, feedback forms and
collecting activity reports from them.
Observing the emerging trends in pedagogy and trying to implement the suitable
methods in the college
Towards the learning process the contribution of IQAC is-
Conducting orientation and sensitization programmes to the students
Preparing the student profile formats and arranging ward counselling
Ensuring the conduct of Bridge classes and Remedial classes
Designing presentations to create research awareness and orientation in the students
Working to improve the competitive standards of the students who participate in
various literary, cultural and sports competitions
Periodically reviewing the student progress, assessing and fulfilling their needs and
requirements, and motivating them to set and reach goals.
Creating quality consciousness among the students and the teachers about the
learning outcomes.
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 has come a long way from teacher centric learning to the student centric
learning with the help of various support systems such as the staff rooms with
computer/internet facility, a well-furnished modern library with facilities for scan and
photocopying, ICT enabled class rooms, computer and language labs, smart classrooms fitted
with assistive listening devices and LCD projectors, e- learning resources, state of the art
sports rooms and JKC. The college promotes interactive student centric learning by forming
quality circles.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 59
Many methods are followed to develop the various learning skills in the students, and some of
those followed include:
Interactive Learning
Brain storming sessions
Pair and Square
Buzz session
Debate
Collaborative Learning
Jigsaw
JAM
Group Exploration
Reciprocal Teaching
Model preparation
Role play
Quiz
Independent Learning
Assignments
Seminar presentations
Material collection
Elocution
Essay writing
Library work
Project works
In the Choice Based Credit System that was implemented from 2015-16 seminars
and assignments carry a weightage of ten internal marks. This has improved the participation
and involvement of the students in classroom seminars and assignments.
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?
A verse from our ancient lore says:
Acharyaat paadamaadatte
Paadam Sishyah sva-medhayaa/
Paadam sa-brahmacharibhyah
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 60
Paadam kaala-kramena cha//
(A student learns from the teacher only a quarter, another quarter he gains by his intellect,
the third quarter from his colleagues, and the last quarter by experience in the world).
The college understands that the duty of the institute does not end by bestowing a
degree on the student or imparting to him some employability skills that help him in earning a
livelihood. Outside the boundaries of the college also the student should continue to be a
learner, thinker, innovator and developer, and the college should instill in him such values
and learning attitudes for lifelong learning.
The college endeavours to achieve this goal by-
Assigning study projects that require a critical approach and application of a
systematic methodology—such as a psychological study of the characters of a drama
Allowing the students to exercise their choice in selecting a topic of their interest—
such as choosing a short story of Viswanatha Satyanarayana for writing a review
Giving them an opportunity to come up with ideas that can be translated into active
projects—such as models in electronic/science exhibition
Creating avenues to apply their theoretical knowledge in real time –such as typing the
collected blood samples
Providing reading material beyond their immediate curriculum to expose them to
greater varieties of approaches and methodologies
Offering add-on and certificate courses to enrich their knowledge
Arranging field trips and visits to provide an opportunity to the students to observe
what is happening in the outside world and learn from their own experience
Conducting competitions that give ample scope to the students to bring their creative
talent to the fore.
Arranging training programmes, workshops, presentations, guest lectures etc. to
motivate them to be achievers and leaders.
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 faculty keep themselves abreast of the developments and improvements taking
place in the field of pedagogy, and train and equip themselves to meet the challenges in using
the up-to-the-date technology. The college also strives to provide them the latest technology.
The following facilities are available to the staff at present.
Smart classrooms which are ICT enabled
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 61
OHP, LCD projectors in all blocks and floors
Computer labs with internet/Wi-Fi facility
Wi-Fi connectivity on the campus
All departments having computers and internet connectivity
Use of YouTube, online lessons, PPTs for effective teaching
Local chapter of NPTEL sanctioned to the college
57 students enrolled
5 candidates including 3 staff members received certificates
MOOCs – (Massive Open Online Courses)
Around 200 students enrolled for different online courses
Chat/SMS groups for instantaneous sharing and dissemination of information
MANA TV programmes on KU-band designed and broadcasted by CCE
2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge and skills (blended
learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)?
The college understands the need to expose both the faculty and the students to the
modern methods of teaching-learning so as to advance their level of knowledge and skills.
For that the IQAC, Research Cell, JKC and other committees find ways to encourage the staff
and the students to participate in programmes and schemes that offer them a chance to attain
advanced skills.
The faculty are encouraged to attend National and International seminars, workshops
and training programmes
Seminars, workshops and guest lectures are organized with distinguished
faculty/scientists as resource persons in the college also for the benefit of faculty and
students.
Internet and Wi-Fi facility in all the departments, and the availability of large scale of
digital editions of journals and books in the library also serve as a means to help the
faculty and the students in attaining advanced skills.
Blended learning in the form of combining the traditional teaching methods with the
virtual teaching technique is introduced, and is to be fully exploited. Plans are afoot
to make this the primary teaching method once the autonomous status is conferred on
the college.
2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students \benefitted) on the academic, personal and
psycho-social support and guidance services (professional counseling/mentoring/academic
advice) provided to students?
Faculty members, who are appointed as ward counselors, guide and counsel their
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 62
wards regularly and also provide financial support to the students whenever required as most
of the students belong to the economically weaker sections. Many of the students take up part
time jobs outside the college hours in order to extend a helping hand to their parents in
maintaining their family. They need constant moral support to continue their studies and
perform at better than the average level. The staff identifies such students and takes special
care of them by providing study material in advance, giving more time to complete the
assignments and academic tasks, conducting special practical and theory classes, and
providing special mentoring to them.
Psychological counseling:
In some cases students become depressed owing to personal, academic or family
problems. Such students are given counseling by the Department of Psychology.
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 faulty to adopt
new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student
learning?
The college encourages innovative teaching practices that utilize the ICT facilities
and modern techniques.
All the departments have been equipped with computers and internet facility.
Smart classrooms, and ICT enabled classrooms are provided
On their part, the faculty is utilizing these facilities to the maximum and is teaching
through:
PowerPoint Presentations
YouTube lessons
Audio and video clips
Interactive teaching modules along with:
Instant Messaging Services
Chat groups
Charts and slides
Access to online courses
The main impact of these practices is that the student can be in contact with the
teacher all the time and not just during the college or class hours. This helps him in clearing
his doubts immediately or request the teacher for time for a personal session either to clarify
his doubts or sometimes for receiving advice on personal matters.
2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching- learning process?
The college library has a large collection of text books and reference books in
addition to journals and periodicals.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 63
Students are encouraged to visit the library regularly.
Special SC/ST book banks provide text books to the students belonging to those
categories, which can be retained throughout the year.
Internet, Scan and photocopying facilities are provided in the library for the benefit of
the students.
Almost all the departments have departmental libraries, and the students are issued
books there also. Sometimes the staff requests the main library to loan the reference
books to the departmental library so that they can have a ready access to them.
The library works for extended hours for the benefit of the students and helps them in
augmenting their class room learning with the library resources.
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.
Yes, sometimes the college falls behind the academic schedule due to many reasons.
Whenever such a thing happens, the Staff Council takes a resolution to work extra hours or
days, and the IQAC sees to it that the annual academic plans are modified and syllabus is
covered within the given time frame. Sometimes, the University reschedules the dates of
exams and modifies the academic calendar, or the CCE instructs the college to work on
holidays to compensate the loss of the teaching days.
To cite a recent example, this year the college was closed for twelve days in the
month of July on the occasion of Krishna Pushkarams as the campus was used by the state
officials. The CCE had instructed the college to work on Second Saturdays in the remaining
months to compensate the loss. The University had postponed the Semester end examinations
by a week.
The institution on its part had taken the decision to conduct extra classes during zero
hours and allowed classes to be conducted in the seminar hall, conference room and the staff
rooms also.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?
The college believes in the principle that self-monitoring is the best method to assess
the quality of its teaching learning, and puts it into practice, along with the assessment made
by the higher authorities.
Feedback is collected from the students on teachers and curriculum.
Faculty members submit self-appraisal reports at the end of every academic year,
which are submitted to the CCE.
Ward counsellors and faculty members follow the academic progress of the students.
The office of the CCE also conducts annual academic audit of the institution.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 64
The IQAC reviews, at institutional level, the academic performance of the college to
incorporate it in the Annual Quality Assurance Report submitted to the NAAC.
Surprise visits and checks are made by the RJDCE, CCE and other concerned state
government officials.

The college being a government college, the state government recruits the faculty.
As such the government takes into account the new courses being introduced across the state,
and need to provide staff for such courses, and recruits them following the UGC norms for
recruitment. As this process takes a long time for completion, Contract Faculty and Guest
Faculty are engaged complying with the government rules. Whereas Contract Faculty are
allotted by the Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education on district basis, Guest
Faculty are employed by the institution as per the need. The college selects the highly
qualified candidates after rigorous screening from among those who responded to its
advertisement of posts. Thus the changing requirements of the curriculum are met, and the
students receive instruction from those who specialized in the concerned subjects.
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 introduced
(Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the
institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three years.
The college meets this challenge in two ways.
By sending the available staff in the concerned/allied subject to Refresher courses,
training programmes and workshops in that subject, so as to make them familiarize
themselves with the emerging trends in that field and
By engaging guest faculty who possess the required qualification to teach that
subject.
Along with this, inviting visiting faculty to deliver a series of lectures on the
concerned topics is also followed.
Thus in the last three years some lecturers— Sri M. Madhava Rao, Dr. G.
Tirupathaih --were sent for training to teach the newly introduced paper on Human
Values and Professional Ethics.
All the departments arranged guest lectures and special lectures by experts on
curricular topics for the benefit of the students.
Guest lecturers were engaged to teach fundamentals of computers to the students of
Arts stream.
2.4.3 Providing details on staff development programmes during the last four years elaborate on
the strategies adopted by the institution in enhancing the teacher quality.
The college believes that teachers should recharge themselves regularly by attending
Refresher/training courses and seminars/workshops in order to enhance their teaching quality.
Hence they are encouraged to attend all sorts of development programmes, and many staff
members attended such programmes in the last four years. The details are given underneath.

2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg: providing research grants,
study leave, support for research and academic publications, teaching experience in other
national institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagement etc.)
The policies and systems in place to recharge the teachers are in accordance with the

Dr. V. Ravi, Principal was adjudged the Best Principal by the CCE for the year
2013-14
Sri Padmanabham, Lecturer in Public Administration received Best Teacher Award
from the State Government in 2012.
The college provides an ambience healthy and cooperative on the campus to infuse a
positive drive in the faculty for excellence and achievement. Any jarring note turned into a
harmonic one by right effort, any knitted brow set normal by earnest appeal and any harsh
glance converted into a soothing look by sweet talk, no dark mood is allowed to prevail on
the campus, and thereby paves way for a dedicated engagement in study and research on part
of the teachers to explore better methods of teaching, the testimonials for which more often
than not received from their wards rather than from the power driven forces easily influenced
by extravaganza.
A library with a good collection of titles, journals and periodicals
Access to e-books, online journals, membership in internet libraries
Computer and internet facility with Wi-Fi connectivity
Encouragement to attend seminars, workshops and conferences
The faculty participated/ presented papers in more than 100 seminars
Motivation to present and publish research papers
Around 110 research papers published by the staff

evaluated to be below average by the students/peers, and motivates them to
improve performance.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and
faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?
Evaluation is an integral part of teaching learning process, and the college makes
sure that all the relevant information regarding evaluation is communicated to the students
and the faculty.
During the beginning of the new academic year/semester, the students are introduced
to the syllabus and the evaluation methods.
The Question paper models, the probable internal and external examination schedules
and the scope of the revaluation system are explained/ communicated to the students.
In case of continuous evaluation process, the students will be informed of the
assignments, projects and other class works they have to finish, and how their
performance will be evaluated in these tasks.
For external examinations, the faculty will be supplied the schema of valuation by the
University, whereas for internal examinations the scheme of valuation is decided
during the departmental meetings.
The University announces the schedule for applying for revaluation.
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and
what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?
The University introduced the semester mode Choice Based Credit System with
internal continuous evaluation that carries a weightage of 25 marks from the
academic year 2015-16.
The institution adopted the system from the academic year 2015-16.
Practical examinations are now conducted with the institution appointed external
examiners and University appointed external examiners in the alternate semesters.
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 institution discusses the University reforms in the Staff Council and the IQAC
interacts with the departments for the effective implementation of the reforms.
IQAC conducted a workshop on Internal Assessment system to the staff
The students are informed of the changes in the evaluation methods, and prepared
accordingly.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 75
The institute displays the relevant information on notice boards and electronic
scrolling boards, announces through the public address system and posts it on the
college web site.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure
student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system.
Every teaching learning system presupposes an assessment of the student during the
course of the programme in order to measure the effectiveness of the system. This is done by
following the formative and summative assessment approaches.
The Formative assessment approach uses the verbal tests, group discussions, class
presentations, assignments, role play and the like.
The formative assessment helps the student by giving him a chance to assess his
strengths and weaknesses during the programme.
The teacher can identify the slow learners and take remedial steps, and prepare
them for the summative assessment.
The Summative assessment method involves the conduct of examinations such as the
monthly tests, unit tests, mid-term tests and semester-end examinations.
The Summative assessment helps the student in progressing to higher academic
levels as it has a high stake value.
The Summative assessment helps the teachers in assessing the difficulty level of
the programme, and the changes needed to be made to the syllabus.
By using both the methods effectively, especially in the Choice Based Credit System being
implemented from the academic year 2015-16, the college achieved -
an improved success rate in the participation of the students in various co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities, a result of formative assessment
approach, and
an increased academic achievement rate in the University examinations, an
outcome of the summative assessment approach.
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
development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning,
communication skills etc.)
The institute follows a continuous assessment of the students through formative and
summative practices.
Internal assessment plays an important role in monitoring the progress and
performance of the student.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 76
As part of internal assessment in the Choice Based Credit system being implemented
from the academic year 2015-16, the following aspects are taken care of.
Attendance: The University stipulates 75 per cent of aggregate attendance for the
student to be able to take the year end examination. The internal examinations
conducted by the college award 5 marks for classroom attendance.
Communication skills: Seminar presentations are allotted 5 marks under the
internal monitoring system which has greatly improved the participation of the
students in seminars.
Independent Learning: Classroom Assignments are given a weightage of 5
marks to improve the student’s independent learning experience.
The following table shows the marks allotted for internal and external examinations in
CBCS.

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?
The affiliating University does not explicitly mention any graduate attribute matrices
for its programmes. However, these are implied in the prelude of most
syllabi/curricula.
The college, in general, across all the streams and disciplines considers the following
attribute matrix and works towards making the learners achieve these, of course to
varying degrees of accomplishment subjective to individual’s capabilities, efforts,
awareness and social context.
Individual faculty members assess and evaluate communication skills, independent
learning, team work, behaviour and leadership skills in each class. Discipline, attitude
and class participation are also important factors.

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to
facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?
The institution adopts positively practical systems of teaching, learning and
assessment that facilitate the achievement of intended learning outcomes.
Innovative teaching learning methodologies are practiced and perfected.
To cite an example, the Department of Telugu has introduced the practice of
writing metric verses to make the students get a grip over Telugu prosody.
Concept oriented, Target fixed, Skill developing and Student centric learning
modules are adopted.
For example, the Department of Mathematics presents a problem/puzzle on the
departmental notice board and asks the students to solve it.
Peer/Self- assessment is followed sometimes where the students are asked to either
evaluate their papers themselves or correct the papers mutually as per the key
provided.
Every assignment, seminar, test and classroom activity is assessed as per the learning
outcome fixed for that exercise. Students, whose performance falls below the set
mark, are given counselling in that area.
2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social and
economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude

Students of Psychology who chose Sanskrit as second language did a psycho-analytical
study of the characters of the drama Pratimanataka (selected portion) with the help of the
department of Psychology.
Another project of the department of Sanskrit in collaboration with that of Botany was:
the Sanskrit and Latin names of medicinal herbs, and their references in Sanskrit texts.
The students of Sanskrit, Hindi and Telugu have been building a Tri-language pictorial
dictionary. It can be made a quadric-language dictionary with the inclusion of English
names.
The challenge in getting such projects done mainly lies in making the second
department understand what sort of guidance is needed from their side.

college web site. All the staff members mention the areas of consultancy offered by them—
academic, social, spiritual etc.

returns.
The departments of Physics and Computer Science are consulted for all the needs of
online transactions—applying for MRPs, enrolling for biometric, posting of internal marks
etc.
The Soil Health Club offers to undertake soil tests at a nominal rate.

institution, comment on how they complement students’ academic learning experience and
specify the values and skills inculcated.
The institution involves the students in various extension activities so that they can
get practical knowledge in different aspects of transactions and procedures, understand the
ground realities of the various social sectors, and in general enrich their knowledge regarding
the world around them.
The social surveys conducted by the students, and the field trips and NSS camps
attended by them help the students in understanding the ground realities regarding the socio-
economic conditions of the all classes. These make them think on ways to solve their
problems, and they may come up with some solutions in the future.
Similarly, the voluntary work carried out by the students during the Pushkarms and
the Navratri Festival inculcate in them a feeling of empathy towards the weak and the
disabled, and the need to be supportive to them.
Managing the crowds, coping with the different temperaments revealed by the
public etc. become a learning experience to the students which surely helps them in future.

Administrative Officer meet from time to time as per necessity and chalk out the road maps
and follow them.
6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring:
• the policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated mission
The Principal regularly conducts staff council and general staff meetings where both
action plans and action taken plans are discussed. Similarly, the various committees interact
with the Principal and the staff for conducting the programmes decided upon in the Staff
Council and General Staff meetings. They submit reports to the CCE wherever they are called
for.
• formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of the same into the
institutional strategic plan
Following the guidelines of the CCE and the University, an annual institutional plan
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 150
is drawn up at the beginning of the year based on the departmental plans submitted by the
departments. These plans include all the required action plans such as celebration of National
Education Day, Swacch Bharat, International Mother tongue day, and the birthdays of
National leaders etc. Plans for conducting sports and cultural programmes are also included in
these.
• Interaction with stakeholders
Staff meetings, student counselling, meetings with the alumni and parents take place
from time to time to get feedback from the stakeholders. Reports of the Academic audit
conducted by the CCE and the feedback from students also help in reviewing the academic
and administrative functioning of the college.
• Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis, research inputs and
consultations with the stakeholders
Introduction of new certificate courses, request for sanction of additional
combinations, groups and courses and arranging workshops and seminars are all based on an
analysis of need and feasibility by the departments, staff council, committees such as IQAC
after careful scrutiny of the feedback obtained from the stakeholders. State government and
University guidelines are followed in starting new courses or groups whereas the concerned
departments design the curriculum for the certificate courses.

From time to time changes are brought in the procedures and processes either to
catch up with the developments taking place in the world around (such as the introduction of
online application for admission) or at the instruction of the CCE (such as the introduction of
biometric attendance system for staff and students). Adoption of CBCS pattern also indicates
an organizational change in keeping pace with modern education policy.
6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and evaluate policies and
plans of the institution for effective implementation and improvement from time to time?

Commerce club, Eco club, Soil Health club etc. Students join these clubs, and under the
guidance of the staff, they organize meetings, exhibitions, rallies etc. and develop into good
organizers and leaders.

cultural pursuits, and are nominated as student members on various boards such as Magazine,
Newsletter, IQAC etc.
6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational autonomy to the
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 152
departments / units of the institution and work towards decentralized governance system?

certificate courses are done by the departments, and the Principal accepts the
resolutions of the departments/staff council/IQAC in this regard.

students is responsible for maintaining quality in teaching and learning aspects.
The various committees formed with almost all the staff members being on one or the
other committee effectively work for the cause of maintaining excellence in
academic, cultural, social, sport, research, service and other areas.

guidelines of the CCE, the IQAC has formally stated its quality policy as value based quality
education to all sections of the society especially the under privileged classes.
Having set a quality policy, the college develops the action plan to reflect it. This is
done by the preparation of the institutional plan, the annual academic plans of the
departments and the faculty where in the form of co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities measures are included to sustain quality in learning and teaching.

implementation of these various aspects.
6.2.2 Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so, give the aspects considered
for inclusion in the plan.
The college applied for autonomous status, and the autonomy expert committee
visited the college on 26th and 27th of October 2016. The college is hopeful of getting
autonomous status as the perspective development plans are mostly linked with it. Being an
affiliated college, and being a government college, most of the development plans of the
college have to be cleared at various stages. Any infrastructural development on the campus
is to be taken up after getting permission from the office of the CCE, and adhering to the
strict government procedures. Similarly, any academic plan has to be approved either by the
University or the CCE. However, if autonomy is granted the college can have some
functional autonomy on these both fronts. Notwithstanding the conferment of autonomy, the
development plan of the college can be stated as follows:
Infrastructural Development Plan:
Construction of additional class rooms
A well furnished separate Seminar room/Auditorium
An indoor sports stadium
A research block with all modern digital equipment including a separate reference
library
Strengthening the existing Language Lab by replacing the old systems
A separate Language Lab for Indian languages
Construction of Ladies Hostel
Construction of a cafeteria
Construction of Student Dining Hall
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 154

opportunity to the students to get good jobs
6.2.5 How does the Head of the institution ensure that adequate information (from feedback and
personal contacts etc.) is available for the top management and the stakeholders, to review
the activities of the institution?
Through Staff meetings and interactions:
The Principal conducts regular monthly staff meetings, staff council meetings and
department interactions. Thus he gathers information from all these sources for submitting to
the CCE whenever asked for. Principal’s annual report submitted on the College Annual Day
also covers the activities of the institution. The report is published in the college magazine
also.
Through AQAR (Annual Quality Assessment Report):
All the departments submit annual departmental reports to the IQAC
All the committees and clubs submit annual reports of their activities to the IQAC
NCC, NSS and JKC also submit their reports.
The Office also submits report of budgetary allocation, disbursement of scholarships
etc. to the IQAC
All this data is reviewed by the IQAC for preparing the AQAR in consultation with
the Principal
The AQAR is placed before the Staff Council for approval before submission to the
NAAC
A copy of the AQAR is made available to the Academic Audit committee formed by
the CCE
Through API Scores:
There is system of the CCE asking to upload on its website the Academic
Performance Indicator scores of the teachers as per the Self-Appraisal Reports which
will be taken into account for affecting transfers, recommending for Best Teacher
awards etc. While the IQAC scrutinizes the self -appraisal forms submitted by the
teachers, the Principal reviews the API scores before they are posted on the CCE
website.
Through Student Feedback:
Student Feedback on teachers and curriculum is obtained on Semester basis by the
departments, which is analyzed, consolidated and submitted to the IQAC, which in
turn submits it to the CCE.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 158
Through Result Analysis:
The CCE calls for lecturer wise result analysis at the beginning of every academic
year. The IQAC/Office collects the required data and submits it to the Principal for
online submission of the same to the CCE.
Through College Website:
The AQAR, API scores and Results are posted on the college website also.
Through DRC and DCEDRC Review Meetings:
Review meetings are held under the direction of the DRC and DCEDRC where
development activities are reviewed. The minutes/reports of these meetings are
submitted to the CCE whenever called for.
6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the staff in improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional processes?
As all the staff members are involved with one or other college committee, they offer
their suggestions and opinions during the meetings of that particular committee.
Regular staff meetings are called for by the Principal where all academic aspects are
discussed threadbare.
During the Staff Council meetings matters involving financial aspects also come up
for discussion, and the opinion of the members is taken into account by the Principal.
All financial transactions other than regular ones, are to be endorsed by the concerned
committee through a resolution before any expenditure is made from that grant. For
example, the UGC committee meets to discuss the distribution of the UGC funds
allotted to the college for different activities.
6.2.7 Enumerate the resolutions made by the Management Council in the last year and the status of
implementation of such resolutions.
The staff council which is the main body to take decisions on academic issues made
the following important resolutions last year with the outcome listed against it:
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 159
National Seminars Seminars were conducted from
October 2015, one more is to be
conducted in January/February 2017.
Introduction of Biometric attendance Aadhar enabled biometric attendance

6.2.8 Does the affiliating university make a provision for according the status of autonomy to an
affiliated institution? If ‘yes’, what are the efforts made by the institution in obtaining
autonomy?
An autonomy expert committee constituted by the UGC under the chairmanship of
Prof. J. P. Singh Joorel visited the college on 26th and 27th October, 2016. Based on their
recommendations, the UGC granted autonomy to the college to be implemented from the
academic year 2017-18.
6.2.9 How does the Institution ensure that grievances / complaints are promptly attended to and
resolved effectively? Is there a mechanism to analyze the nature of grievances for promoting
better stakeholder relationship?
A Grievance Redress Cell is functioning in the college which deals with any
grievance or complaint of the students.
On receiving any grievance/complaint, the committee immediately meets the
aggrieved party, discusses and deliberates, and recommends a redress on its own, or
recommends the formation of another committee to look into the matter. A committee
thus formed will have student members also wherever possible. That committee will
submit its report within the stipulated time, and usually the decision of that
committee will be final. In rare cases, the matter will be referred to the Staff Council
for further course of action.
Many of the grievances received, mostly orally or through the memoranda submitted
to the Principal, refer to the policy matters of the State government such as grant of
scholarship, or related to the examination and results issues of the University. As
such, the Principal forwards them to the higher officials. Institutional level grievances
are either less in number or almost nil.
6.2.10 During the last four years, had there been any instances of court cases filed by and against
the institute? Provide details on the issues and decisions of the courts on these?
No case has been filed by or against the college in the last four years.

performance? If ‘yes’, what was the outcome and response of the institution to such an
effort?
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 160
The Mechanism:
Student feedback on the performance of the teachers, and the content of the syllabus
is regularly collected.
As ward counseling system is followed, the concerned lecturers have continuous
interaction with the students, and they receive feedback from students on the
facilities, requirements and functioning of the office.
Students submit memoranda to the Principal listing out the facilities they needed.
A suggestion/complaint box is provided at the Principal’s chamber for the benefit of
the students to submit their requirement/complaints.
Having analyzed these feedbacks/ suggestions, the Staff Council or the concerned
committee addresses the issue.
The Response:
To cite but a few cases of response--
More drinking water points are arranged on the campus for the benefit of the
students.
Students are allowed to practice in the Seminar Hall for dance and drama
programmes.

6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty empowerment through
training, retraining and motivating the employees for the roles and responsibility they
perform?
The institution strives in many ways for faculty empowerment as it helps in effective
and efficient performance in the roles and responsibilities assigned to the faculty
The faculty members are encouraged to attend training programmes, conferences,
workshops in specific areas.
The faculty are motivated to present papers in the seminars, conferences and
workshops. Special casual leave is granted to those who present papers at seminars.
The Commissioner of College Education organizes specific training and orientation
programmes in select areas such as
English Language Fellowship programmes to General English Mentors of JKC.
Computer training to the non – teaching staff and teaching staff also.
The Principal monitors the adoption of faculty empowerment strategies and sends the
names of the faculty to the higher authorities for providing training who are in need
of it.
6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to evaluate and ensure that
information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and considered for better
appraisal.
At the end of each academic year, the staff submit Self-Appraisal Report in the
prescribed format containing Academic Performance Indicator score to the IQAC.
The IQAC scrutinizes them and submits them to the Principal who reviews them
further, and allots his own score.
These API scores are submitted to the CCE, who takes them into consideration while
affecting transfers or awarding Best Teacher or other honours.
The Principal also submits a self-appraisal report covering the institutional activities
to the RJDCE. Dr. V. Ravi, the Principal of SRR & CVR Government College was
selected as the Best Principal based on his API score in the year 2014.
6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports by the management
and the major decisions taken? How are they communicated to the appropriate stakeholders?
The Principal after reviewing the self-appraisal forms of the staff interacts with them,
and motivates them to obtain a better API score. Where the API score is very less, the
Principal seeks an explanation from those staff members, and suggests corrective
measures.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 162
Lecturer-wise result analysis is done at the end of each academic year, and the same
is submitted to the CCE. Where the result is poor, the Principal interacts with both
the lecturer and the department, seeks an explanation, and suggests remedial
measures. The CCE considers transferring those lecturers whose result falls below 40
per cent pass of the students.
The API scores and result analysis are available on the CCE website, and the
students, parents and other stakeholders have access to them.
6.3.5 What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non- teaching staff? What

d. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective functioning of the IQAC?
There are student and alumni members on the IQAC. Quality improvement measures
in student welfare activities, curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities are
taken into consideration during IQAC meetings. The alumni members, who are
incidentally the present staff members also, have a clear understanding of the role of
the IQAC, and hence help in its effective functioning discharging their duty as both
the alumni and the staff.
e. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from different constituents of
the institution?
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 167
The IQAC circulates the resolutions adopted at the meeting to all the departments.
Inputs and data from the departments and the committees are requested through SMS
and circulars.
The faculty who are members in IQAC discuss the issues in their respective
department meetings.
The IQAC engages the services of all the departments, faculty as quality assurance
and improvement is a combined and coordinating effort of all the constituents of the
college.
6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality assurance of the academic and
administrative activities? If ‘yes’, give details on its operationalization.
Yes, there is an integrated framework for quality assurance of academic and
administrative activities in the college.
The academic quality assurance is operationalized through the academic plans and
departmental action plans along with the institutional plan following the guidelines of
the CCE and the University.
Workshops, seminars, guest lectures, training programmes etc. motivate the staff and
the students to achieve the goals and objectives set in quality framework.
On the administrative front, digitalization of the library, making the college a Wi-Fi
enabled zone, ICT support to teaching in the form of smart classrooms, online
admission process and other measures assure quality in all aspects.
6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective implementation of the Quality
assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, give details enumerating its impact.
Yes. Training sessions are arranged under the aegis of the CCE whenever new
recruitments/promotions take place in the form of induction training sessions. The
DRC conducted such training sessions in 2011 and 2013.
Training sessions in the subject of Human Values and Professional Ethics were
conducted by the Master Trainers.
Training to the English faculty by Tata Institute of Social Sciences was arranged.
A National seminar on Challenges in Teaching Language was organized in July 2016
with a view to gather ideas on quality teaching.

Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 168
The Principal reviews the report in the Staff Council meeting, and suggests corrective
measures.
An action taken report is submitted to the CCE
Some of the outcomes of those reports are: Shifting of the library to a spacious
building, more research publications by the staff and implementation of the
suggestions in maintaining the teaching diaries.
6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the requirements of the
relevant external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities?
The main external quality assurance agencies/regulatory authorities of the college are
AP State Council of Higher Education
Commissioner of Collegiate Education
UGC
Krishna University, the affiliating University
As admissions, curriculum and examinations are in accordance with the rules framed
by the University and the state government, no conflict arises in quality assurance in such
aspects.
Newly recruited staff members attend Orientation programmes, and the senior staff
members attend the required number of Refresher courses where they are exposed to the
quality implementation methodology in teaching.
All the staff members attend/ submit papers in seminars, workshops and conferences
which become a platform to them for interacting with their peers. This exposure translates
into enhanced adherence to quality framework in their teaching, learning, and research
activity, and contributes to the institute’s assurance of quality to the stakeholders.
The IQAC on its part oversees and advises the staff on the necessity of quality
assurance, and maintaining the seven criteria for the NAAC evaluation, which in fact is a
continuous process, and not a one-time activity.
Thus the internal quality assurance mechanism of the college aligns with the
requirements of the external quality assurance agencies.
6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review the teaching learning
process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of operations and outcome?
In the annual examination system which was followed till the 2014-15 batch, the
lecturer wise and course wise result analysis was discussed every year and submitted to the
CCE. During these analysis sessions in the staff council, review of teaching learning process
was also discussed. A number of changes in the teaching process were suggested and
implemented in the form of ICT based teaching. Many rooms were converted into smart class
rooms and/or ICT enabled class rooms.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 169
With the introduction of the Choice Based Credit System along with Semester
system from the academic year 2015-16, a continuous review of the teaching learning process
has been taking place on the campus as under this system 25 per cent marks have been
allotted to formative or internal assessment. As such,
Result analysis by the college is done semester wise
Student feedback is also now obtained semester wise.
Review meetings at departmental and institute level have become more frequent, and
deficiencies are brought to the notice of the Principal, and corrective measures are
implemented immediately.
Regarding the outcome of these changes the following points can be highlighted.
With the continuous assessment system in place, the students have become more
responsible and serious regarding their studies.
The assignments and seminars have become more meaningful and innovative also.
6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies, mechanisms and
outcomes to the various internal and external stakeholders?
Students are informed of the plans, activities and events through display on the notice
boards, scrolling on the electronic display boards, and announcements in the
classrooms directly or through public address system. Some departments use
SMS/WhatsApp services to communicate.
The faculty is informed of the policies etc. in the staff meetings and departmental
meetings, and through circulars and SMS/WhatsApp. E-mails are also sent.
College website is updated regularly incorporating the activities taking place on the
campus along with the major policy matters, and this is the source for all internal and
external stakeholders to know about the happenings on the campus.
News items published in local newspapers cover the important events that took place
in the college.

CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 171
As a measure towards carbon offsetting, the college implements the policy of
presenting saplings to the guests to plant them on the campus.
∗ Plantation
The college organizes tree plantation programmes to maintain the greenery on the
campus.
In the months of July and September many different flora are planted every year.
Botany department is monitoring the medicinal plants.
∗ Hazardous waste management
A seminar on Solid Waste Management was organized by the Department of
Chemistry to create a platform to share ideas regarding waste management.
In the college campus only in Microbiology and Chemistry departments hazardous
waste is generated. The Microbiology Department disposes off the hazardous waste
after autoclaving.
All the waste collected in the college is dumped in to the two types of dust bins, one
for biodegradable waste, and the other for non-biodegradable provided for this
purpose to be cleared by the Corporation staff periodically.
∗ e-waste management
The college follows the rules of the EPA and government in managing e waste, as it
cannot recycle or resale the electronic equipment on its own.
7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a
positive impact on the functioning of the college.
Yadyadaacharati sreshtah
Tattadevetaro janah /
Sa yat pramaanam kurute
Lokastadanuvartate //
What a visionary does, the others imitate. Whatever he sets as standard that the world
follows.
Innovations are but a part of the teaching learning process. An innovative idea of
today, put into practice or applied, may turn into the best practice of tomorrow to become
ultimately the standard for others to follow it. What Sri Krishna said centuries ago applies to
both innovations and best practices today also. Hence the college encourages its staff and
students to become innovative within and without the classroom, and in case of the students
in literary, cultural, sports and games arena as well.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 172
To list a few of the innovative techniques used by the teachers and the institute--
The college is a centre for many examinations such as ICWA, CA, APPSC, Banking
and Railway Recruitment Board exams. A lot of unused answer booklets in the CA
and ICWA examinations are kept with the institution only. The college distributes
such booklets to the students to be used for notes taking, house examinations and
assignments, thus helping the students as well as the institute in saving some money
and resources.
Some faculty members have taken the initiative to take attendance on their smart
phones using an app or simple spreadsheet as a small step towards digitalization of
the records, and promotion of the concept of e-office. Even if biometric attendance is
introduced completely, still this method will be useful during field trips and industrial
visits.
There are a number of best practices followed by the college such as:
The activities of Soil Health Club
The Vehicle free Saturday
The College news bulletin published by the Department of Economics & Journalism
The Economics journal published by the Department of Economics & Journalism
Viswanatha Book Exhibition by the Department of Telugu
Recycling of answer scripts by the Examination Cell
Use of apps for taking attendance.
However, the activities of the Soil Health Club, and the implementation of Vehicle Free
Saturday are elaborated here as the Best practices.
Best Practice #1
Soil Health Club
Goal
The Department of Chemistry started the Soil Health Club in collaboration with the
Department of Agriculture, Government of Andhra Pradesh in order to create awareness
about the importance of soil analysis and its role in the sustainability of the soil for future
generations. This is a programme designed to enrich the students with practical knowledge on
one hand and as an outreach activity that helps the farming community in and around the rich
Krishna delta area.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 173
The Context
Soil health or soil quality refers to the capacity of the soil to function as a vital living
eco system that sustains plants, animals and humans. Indiscriminate use of fertilizers and
pesticides causes more harm by killing soil flora that erodes the soil fertility. It is harmful to
the soil, farmer and the environment. Maintaining soil health is necessary for the preservation
and sustenance of human life on this planet. If farmers are educated on the health of the soil,
and enriching the soil with organic matter with household waste and farmland manure to
increase biological activities in the soil, and the nature and the dose of the chemical fertilizer
that is to be used for a particular crop, they will be immensely benefitted. The participation of
the students in this endeavour creates awareness in them regarding their social responsibility.
The Practice
Student members of the club in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture,
AP, visit nearby villages and collect soil samples from various agricultural fields. They
analyze the soil in the labs of the Department of Agriculture and the report is uploaded on the
website of the Agricultural Department. An SMS is sent in colloquial language to the farmers
providing information about their soil health. Depending on the crop, the quantity of the
fertilizer is decided. This enables the farmer to minimize the input costs thereby increasing
his profits. Air and water pollutions will also be controlled. But convincing the farmer to
accept the report and follow the guidelines is the major challenge the students encountered in
this practice. Because, the farmers did not understand that the concept of less quantity of
fertilizer would be suffice to get a good crop. Another constraint is that the soil tests are to be
conducted in summer only when the soil is dry. Students have to work during their summer
vacation for this community service.
Evidence of Success
The Department of Agriculture was happy with the commitment, dynamism and
involvement of our students, and it trained nearly forty students in conducting these tests and
used their services. Their observation was that the farmers learned quickly and the use of
fertilizer dropped significantly in those villages due to the efforts of the Soil Health Club.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
As mentioned above, the soil tests are to be conducted in summer only, and the
students have to bear the travelling and other expenses involved in visiting the villages and
collecting the samples. Because of this the activities of the Soil Health Club are mainly
confined to the nearby villages only even though the aim is to spread its activities to the
whole of the Krishna District.
Notes (Optional)
Soil Health Clubs can be formed in all the colleges especially in the rural colleges.
They will be of immense help to the farmers. A District Soil Health Club also can be formed
with all the colleges as constituent members. A website can be created which presents the soil
health profile along with the crop history of any place just at a click of the mouse.

Vehicle Free Third Saturday
Goal
Air pollution is one of the major problems today, especially in cities where the
cluster of industries and the ever increasing number of motor vehicles by their carbon
emissions contributes to it significantly. Both the plant and the animal kingdoms are affected
by air pollution, and a severe damage is caused to the eco system by the pollutants, which
also has undesirable effect on the population. The resultant depletion of the ozone layer
causes global warming that affects all the living organisms. The goal of this practice is
creating awareness among the students and the public about the imminent dangers and
hazards the earth has to face if corrective measures are not taken to control air pollution.
The Context
Carbon dioxide and monoxide gases released into the atmosphere through vehicular
exhaust are the primary air pollutants. A high level of these gases in the atmosphere causes
respiratory problems like bronchitis, asthma, and respiratory distress that may lead to the
death of the infants and the old. According to an observation of the World Health
Organization, India has the highest death rate due to air pollution, mainly in the form of
respiratory related complications. New Delhi is the case point with its highest air pollution
levels in the world.
In this context it is necessary that the college should adopt a practice that is not only
educative but also contributes to the public cause. Reducing air pollution can be achieved to
some extent by avoiding vehicular emission into the atmosphere. However, it is not possible
to continuously or permanently avoid the use of motor vehicles today. But a day in the month
can be made vehicle free. Both staff and students can use public transport, and if necessary,
walk a little bit or use bicycles. So the college has earmarked the third Saturday as the
vehicle free Saturday.
The Practice
The practice is simple. No staff member or student comes to the college on his/her
motor vehicle on the third Saturday of the month. The staff and the students can use public
transport or make some other arrangement. But no personal motor vehicle will be used.
Self-Study Report | Cycle-III | SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada Page 175
College gate will not be opened on that day to allow any motor vehicle inside. However,
some exceptions are allowed on health or other grounds, but not as a rule. For example, if any
examination falls on that day, students and the staff who have examination duty will have the
option of either following the practice or not on that particular day. Similarly, if any official
visit or programme is scheduled for that day, the practice may not be followed. As the college
decided to implement this practice once in a month only, there were occasions when this
practice could not be implemented. Increasing the frequency of the practice though discussed
in the staff meetings, has not been decided upon.
Evidence of Success
Though in the beginning, out of habit, students and staff failed to follow this
practice, still the regular announcements, circulars and reminders helped them in
remembering the third Saturday as a special day, and slowly the percentage who followed this
practice started to increase. The number of vehicles parked outside the college gate on the
third Saturday started to decrease, and lesser requests are now made for exemption.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The main problem encountered is with the visitors to the college. The college has
two study centres belonging to the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University and the Indira
Gandhi National Open University. The enrolled students of these centres frequently visit their
offices, and they do not know about the practice followed in the college. Sometimes their
vehicles are also stopped at the gate. Old students, parents, friends of faculty etc. coming to
the college on any third Saturday are also aggrieved sometimes. But the banners put up in the
college, and the explanations given to them appease them.
A Note
This is a good practice that can be emulated by other institutions. However, if the
institution is located in a remote or rural area where transport facilities are inadequate, this
practice may not yield expected results. But in such a situation some modifications can be
made to the practice such as "share a ride" where two people use one vehicle.
