BEST PRACTICES
To build a vibrant and supportive community by markedly expanding opportunities to connect

and explore ideas for the benefit of nation and its people, Global Group of Institutes have sensed
the societal requirements and provided excellent opportunities that are responsive to the needs of
the community. Our educational institutes help students to meet Economic, Social, Creative and
Environmental challenges to become participants in shaping their future. The institutes give each
one ample scope to ponder and reflect on various knowledge portals in the library. Our best
practices through delivery of variety of programmes will ensure the opening up of frontiers of
higher order thinking and problem solving to instill and ignite creative sparks that lie in the
young aspirants. The steps/initiatives followed by our institutes foster the cooperation between
thoughts and actions by learning through exchange of ideas, expertise and best practices. Some
of these practices are given below:
Best Practice – 1
1. Title of the Practice: IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN INITIATIVES
2. Objectives of the Practice:
 Follow sustainable construction practices.
 Solid waste management program to separate recyclable waste and dispose all waste in
non-polluting and responsible manner.
 Energy and water conservation measures.
 Establish campus renewable energy sources like roof-top solar power plants, etc.
 Green belt development.
3. The Context:
GGI believes that it is important for us to be involved in environmental issues therefore; we
engage the campus community and take care of the environment and surroundings. The main
aim of the practice is to impart knowledge, create awareness and develop an attitude of concern
and to nurture necessary skills to handle the environmental issues and challenges. Our ambition
is to stimulate each student and staff to increase their knowledge about environmental issues and
be aware of the environmental aspects and their duties and responsibility towards the
environment. In order to spread knowledge about our responsibility towards the environment, we
continuously communicate this work both internally and externally. The institute is more
enthusiastic in the direction to improve our environmental impact by adding new initiatives to
support nature and environment as well. So the following parameters are of main concern:
 To implement practices to ensure pollution free environment

 To use renewable energy
 To conserve water and energy in the campus
4. The Practices:
The institutes encourage students and teaching staff to do the same and contribute to a green
future. The institution focuses on promotion of recycling and reusing practices and sustainable
environmental management that entails the principle of the 3 “R”: “Reduce, Reuse and
Recycle”. The institute performs an energy study on the types of contracting, power required,
most advantageous tariff and lighting mechanisms, taking into account the electrical needs of the
campus. Also the institute takes advantage of natural lighting and study light needs in the
different areas of the classrooms and work places. We encourage our students and staff to turn
off lighting in unoccupied spaces, whether in meeting rooms or in vacant offices or in offices
outside working hours and unused electronic equipment, avoiding the “standby” mode. Our
efforts are more in the direction to improve the environmental impact and to support mother-
nature. Some details of which are as follows:
• The institute has developed beautiful campus with Lawns and Botanical Garden.
• Bore well recharge pits are constructed in the institute’s campus for harvesting the
rainwater.
• The institute is using renewable energy like solar energy.
• Recently the institute has installed Solar Power Generation Plant of 10 kWh.
• The institute has preserved Flora and Fauna on the campus.
• Signboards/posters are displayed in the institute’s campus for encouraging ideas of
plastic-free campus, noise pollution, and environmental awareness.
• The institute organizes seminars/workshops etc. on environment-related issues.
• LED bulbs are installed in the institute’s buildings to save electricity.
• For Safety and Security Measurements, the institutes have fire extinguishers and CCTV
system in campus.
• Protected Water Supply measures taken are: In-house water treatment plant and RO
drinking water machines.
5. Evidence of Success:
This best practice has proven to be successful through the following activities:
• Through periodical tree plantations, Flora and Fauna on the campus has enriched, which
has turned into eco-friendly campus.
• Out of total required, electrical power consumption is met through the use of Solar
Energy.
• Awareness campaign for the plastic-free campus through signboards/display boards made
campus plastic free.
• Green audit and Energy audit of the campus is done periodically.
• For quality management system, the following are the evidential proofs:
 Certification for E-waste
 Certification for Solid waste
 Certification for Water quality
 Certification for Air quality
Thus, initiative entitled “IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN INITIATIVES” is practised in the

institution in very efficient manner.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
While carrying out this practice, following problems are encountered by the institute.
• Green Campus initiatives are challenging, so it requires determination and a long-term
assurance from all the stakeholders.
• Green Campus initiative is rather expensive practice. It needs an expert advice and
investment of resources.
• Sufficient manpower to maintain them.
• Less awareness of students and community towards environmental issues.
Best Practices- 2
1. Title of the Practice: MENTORING PROGRAMME- A STEP FOR
MULTIDIMENSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS
Mentoring programme provides personalized support to students and aids in professional
socialization. It serves as the platform to be student-centric and ensures the development of
holistic individuals. Mentoring programme facilitates; establishing a vibrant relationship with the
mentee and mentor, installs the confidence in the students to seek advice, have informal
discussions, discuss the problems and have a meaningful deliberation to attain the goal.
2. Objective:
The objective of Mentoring is:
 To achieve the vision of the institution viz., to develop all round personality of the
students on progressive lines.
 To provide a continuous learning process for both the mentor and the mentee.
 To establish the mentor as a role model and to support the mentee for personal and
academic development.
 To establish a vibrant relationship between the mentor and the mentee that will ensure
responsible behaviour and discipline.
3. The Context:
The nature of students’ background i.e. catering to different socio-cultural and economic
diversity necessitates mentoring being opted as one of the best practices by the institution. The
absence of institutionalized system of having a mechanism of mentoring, guidance and
counselling in the region along with the obvious fact that some of the students are from remote
areas and first generation learners makes it imperative on the part of the institution to provide
mentoring i.e. guidance for all-round development of the students on academic as well as
aesthetic lines. Moreover, it is aimed to align with the institutional mission and vision statement
aiming to develop students on progressive lines. Finally, it was decided to start a scheme with
our own students i.e. Mentoring Programme which imparts more interaction with students to
overcome their shyness, furnish language etiquettes, develop confidence in study and in their
personal life too.
4. The Practice:
 Mentoring session is conducted on regular basis. This session is compulsory for every
student to attend.
 In the mentorship scheme, a group of students from all the courses/semesters are
allocated to each faculty (mentor).
 The mentoring parameters are based on four aspects i.e. Academic, Attendance, Career
and General.
 The mentors are provided with details of mentee’s performances in terms of academic
(class test, mid-term and end-semester exam) and attendance records. The mentor also
keeps track of the mentee’s personal development such as co-curricular activities,
discipline and career related issues.
 The mode of communication between the mentor and mentee can be established through
different mode(s) namely- In-person, Offline and Online.
 The grievances of the mentees are taken up by the mentor and if necessary, it is
forwarded to the relevant authorities for necessary remedial actions.
5. Evidence of Success:
 There is a marginal increment in the number of students participating in various events
held within and outside the college, since the implementation of Mentorship System.
 Increase in student attendance and improvement in students’ academic performance.
 Improvement in the sense of belongingness about the institution.
 Increased student satisfaction.
 Improvement in mentees discipline, interaction and communication skills.
 Establishment of a vibrant relationship between teachers and students which has provided
a congenial atmosphere in the class room as well as in the campus.
Hence, this practice of the institute is a step to imbibe in the students a rational positive
outlook towards life thereby making them responsible citizens.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
 Problems are encountered in regards to the diversity in students’ background and
upbringing i.e. lack in the art of effective articulation, introversion and indifferent attitude
etc.
 Students are shy to interact with low level of confidence and dialect too. Even they are
unable to embark their problem to the mentor. It was just like to sketch something on
plain canvas or plantation on bare lands in deserts. Such inhibition and lack of confidence
prevents the students from actively utilizing the mentoring programme.
