 To introduce doubt clearing class in general time-table of the department

 To counseling students regularly on “How mathematics make everything
perfect.

13
40. Best Practices:

 Teacher – student- parent club has been formed to evaluate overall progress of the
Department.
 Students have been encouraged to prepare mathematical projects involving local/
regional / national/ international problems like- air pollution, sound pollution,
water pollution, population growth & other socio-economic abnormality.
 Mathematical modeling course has been introduced in the syllabi as discipline
specific course under CBCS.
 Doubt clearing classes has been introduced for all students-in each Saturday
3 PM – 4 PM (01 period).
 The Department has kept regular contact with OMS, IIT, Bhubaneswar, IMA ,
BBSR to create opportunity among the students for participating in Mathematics
