for a particular head of expense is insufficient, then the Principal in consultation with the Management
takes a discretionary decision and additional funds are accordingly allocated to meet the said
expenditure. All the financial transactions and related statements and books of accounts are duly audited
at the end of every financial year (April-March) by a practicing statutory auditor registered with Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India to verify that the Accounting Standards adhered to in all respects as
well as verify the compliance in respect of all statutory transactions.

and harmony towards cultural, regional, linguistic, communal socioeconomic and Sensitization of
students and employees to the constitutional obligations: values, rights, duties and responsibilities
of citizens (Within 500 words)
Response:
Our College is actively taking efforts in providing an inclusive environment. The initiatives are to
promote better education, social based activities, and set communal harmony. Students who hail from
economically weaker families are supported with fee concession, and also management scholarships.
Motivational lectures of eminent persons of the field are arranged for all-round development of the
students for their personality development and to make them responsible citizens following the national
values of social and communal harmony and national integration. College organizes various cultural
programs to celebrate the cultural diversity of India. Students from various regional and cultural
backgrounds participate in such programs and present their regional or cultural folk songs and dances.
These cultural events are organized at different levels- departments and hostels, on different occasions
like Independence Day, Republic Day and Annual day celebrations. Our college has provided skill based
training to nearby unemployed youth to lift their economy. The extension activities are targeted towards
enabling a holistic environment for student development. College has always encouraged the forefront of
sensitizing students to the cultural, regional, linguistic, communal, and socio-economic diversities of the
state and the nation. Our college has celebrated cultural and regional festivals like Youth Festival,
Constitution day, etc. to preach tolerance and harmony to the students. The college is committed to
celebrate the commemorative days, events and festivals in the campus. It believes it is an inclusive part
of learning and edifies a strong cultural belief in the minds of the students. The events and festivals

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1
Page 66/79 12-12-2023 02:36:41

Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual
Response:
First Best Practice
Title of the Practice: On Maintaining the Campus Green
The Objective
The objective of the practice is to protect the endangered milieu and to beautify the campus. An initiative
behind the practice is to transmit the message that planting trees helps to retain a comprehensible eco-
friendly environment and improves the green ambiance of the campus.
The Context
The college is committed to planting more trees and saplings inside the campus every year. Students of
our college are sensitized and encouraged to plant trees and make the campus green and clean.
The Practice
The NSS, NCC, and other wings & clubs of the college are pledged to take up planting trees and saplings
habitually inside the college. Besides, the college has nominated a soil consultant, garden supervisors, a
team of gardeners, and a comprehensive set of garden equipment. The entire campus has landscaping
with green grass, ornamental plants, and shady trees making the campus very green and beautiful. In
addition to this, awareness rallies and tree plantation programs are conducted in villages nearby under the
banners of various wings and clubs. At present, we have more than 1850 trees on campus. It plays a key
impact in the climatic change control and more oxygen is there inside the campus. It has become a
habitual attitude whenever the alumni come to their alma mater as guest speakers and plant trees in front
of their respective departments. With the conduct of such programs over the years, the campus has
become lush, blossoming, and green.
Evidence of Success:
Maintaining the campus green and dirt free is compulsory in the institution. The college has developed a
splendid infrastructure with the Clean & Green Campus as one of its missions. It provokes the students to
experience joyful learning on campus. Being in green environments boosts various aspects of thinking,
including attention, memory, and creativity. Students voluntarily contribute themselves by bringing
different types of saplings and planting them in front of their departments. For more than two decades,
the college has been working untiringly with student volunteers and staff to bring this change to the
campus. The leading news dailies appreciated our efforts and covered news for maintaining the campus
clean and green.
Page 67/79 12-12-2023 02:36:41

Problems Encountered and Resources Required
A nursery garden consisting of plants and other significant curative plants is proposed to be cultivated on
the college campus which should be nourished and maintained by our students. The Green campus
program should be considered a necessity in every institution and separate funds should be allotted for
this. Implementation of green practices needs a series of awareness programs to educate more people and
train them for it. Devoting time amidst their busy academic schedule is yet another challenge for the
students who involve themselves in this noble venture.
Second Best Practice
Title of the Practice: Certificate in Gandhian Thought
The Objective:
This certificate course is intended to inculcate Gandhian values and principles in the minds of the
students. Our college aims at developing the overall personality of students by helping them discover
their latent talents and instilling leadership qualities with strong values and ethics.
The Context:
Our institution has decided to conduct a certificate course on 'Gandhian Thought' to develop moral
values and ethics among students. It proves our institution's education system is value-added and not only
academically oriented. True education is not just coming out with a degree. It is how you transform and
what your values are when you complete. With a greater than ever number of Companies going in for
Corporate Social Conscientiousness, students who have completed this course will have an edge over
others as the job market may prefer those who have executed some social sector responsibilities besides
their academics.
Page 68/79 12-12-2023 02:36:41

The Practice:
In association with the Institute of Gandhian Studies and Research, Gandhi Museum, Madurai, we have
been successfully conducting this course since 2015. A book entitled "Sathiya Sothanai " is given to the
students free of cost. Through an interesting and well-planned mix of lectures, presentations, social
outreach programs, and other activities, students are being trained and inculcated in Gandhian values and
principles. A very minimal amount has been collected from students as an exam fee and it will be
remitted to Madurai Kamaraj University. The university publishes the results within another three
months. Soon after the publication of the results, the certificates will be handed over to the students.
Gandhi and his principles are today assuming new dimensions of meaning and significance. The students
who complete this course seem to be distinct in their approaches and attitudes. The vibrant nature of
Gandhian thoughts and practices drives the whole thing to a new level of acceptance by the world
community. We all should understand the fact that though Gandhiji is not with us, Gandhism must be
with us to lead from darkness to light.
Evidence of Success:
The evidence of success is that our students have been warped out to be well-regimented in all their
gestures. Their outlook and etiquette are groomed optimistically. The Gandhian philosophy of simple
living and high thinking is instilled in the student at every stage of their growth. More students have
completed their courses and obtained certificates from the university. Gandhiji advocated "By Education
I mean all-around development, drawing out of the best in the child-man body, mind, and spirit." We
have been witnessing the overall development of our students in both their academic and non-academic
pursuits.
Problem Encountered and Resources Required:
It is a tedious task for engineering students to study Gandhian Thoughts and principles amidst their
busiest academic schedule. The management, principal, and faculty members motivate them to go after
this course because it is the demand of the day for the younger generation of this time. Funds can be
allotted for conducting more seminars, orientation programs, and debates related to this course.

Portray the performance of the Institution in one area distinctive to its priority and thrust within
Page 69/79 12-12-2023 02:36:41

1000 words
Response:
Objectives of the practice:
The objective of this project is to plant one lakh saplings in all the schools and villages of the
Virudhunagar district. Further, it aims to increase the tree cover in rural areas by massive tree planting
and to take ample steps in promoting environmental awareness campaigns to mitigate pollution with the
help of the students and staff of the college.
The Context
Recent research quoted that India's forest cover has decreased from 33 percent to 22 percent and to
balance this 11 percent, approximately 54 crore trees need to be planted. Hon'ble Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister in his speech while introducing the forest development project called upon the people not to
think that planting trees and growing them should be done only by the forest department but should be
done as a joint effort in every village, school, and college. A crow plants ten thousand trees through its
remains in its lifetime. The greatness of trees should be inculcated in the minds of the students and the
public. With a high intention to encourage, the college management has decided to plant one lakh trees
before the end of this year.
The practice:
In a unique green initiative, Sree Sowdambika College of Engineering, in association with Virudhunagar
Vidiyal Arima Sangam has launched a massive tree plantation covering 60 km centered around
Arupukottai town. The sapling for the plantation drive was supplied by the college Management ,
student volunteers and NGO’S. To restore the eco-balance the afforestation drive was taken with all
significance. It is a joint venture of both students and staff including supporting staff. The college
administration has been supporting and encouraging them in all respects. The meticulous planning of the
college principal's concerted effort is the impetus for everyone to take dramatic action. More than 350
villages and 300 schools covering Aruppukkottai and its surrounding area of ??60 km have been
identified and with the support of the district administration, trees have been planted with the permission
and desire of the village panchayat presidents, and security arrangements have been made for the growth
of the plants. A video on how to grow a tree simply with just one water bottle is also being shown to the
people and tree growing awareness campaigns are also being carried out. Pamphlets about afforestation
have been distributed in all phases of the plantation drive. Like introducing relationships, we introduce
trees to our students. We take them to the villages in our college bus and make them engage in all the
activities involved in planting trees. The college is overjoyed to see the students participating in this
activity without getting tired despite the scorching sun. The students who belong to the village are
nominated to water the plants regularly.
Evidence of success:
The students participated in the tree plantation drive with great zeal and enthusiasm and thus
made it successful. They pledged to spread awareness about growing more trees. Every phase of the
Page 70/79 12-12-2023 02:36:41

drive was cherished by the council of the village and the local forest department officials. The program
created a great swirl among the public. Students understand the need to preserve the environment for a
better future and to minimize the effects of global warming. The participants were highly excited to make
it a huge accomplishment. An overwhelming response is being witnessed among villagers during the
awareness campaign in all phases.
Let's grow a tree,
Let’s make the tree grow, let's rain, and let the earth rejoice
Let's plant a tree to live in the soil and enjoy the soil tomorrow
Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
Village people are not ready to provide adequate information when students approach them for collecting
data. Staff members need to devote time to their working hours. A huge sum amount is required for
conducting such programs. Time management to coordinate and conduct activities between teachers,
students, and society. Students' participation in environmental, extension, and outreach programs within
and outside the college needs to be strongly encouraged.
