VI GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP

Accolade for Aces

Accolade for Aces is a noble gesture on the part of the

Management to acknowledge, appreciate and honour the faculty

members on their accomplishment in their respective field. It aims at

establishing a close affinity between the teachers and the

Management. The suigeneris of this practice is that it inspires the staff

members to face further challenges in teaching and research. The

Accolade for Aces is organized every year as a mega event in which all the Managing Board members along

with the entire staff join together in congratulating and honouring the achievers.

Research guides, who pass on their wisdom of knowledge to their scholars by successfully

guiding their doctoral theses, are duly honored by the management. The teachers, who enrich their

knowledge by acquiring Ph.D. degrees, are also recognized in the event. The teachers, under the self-

funded streams, are given increments in their pay package for getting their Ph.D. / NET / SET

qualifications. The teachers, who obtain Major or Minor Research projects from any National and State

level funding agencies, are felicitated with valuable mementoes. The teachers, who render fruitful

services in outreach programmes from time to time and bring laurels to the institution, are highly

appreciated. This includes the teachers in charge of NSS, NCC, YRC, RRC, Women Empowerment Cell,

Placement Cell, and Fine Arts Club. The teachers, who are involved in the activities of various

committees for the smooth functioning of the college, are applauded for their noble services. All the

members of departments, who produce university ranks, are highly appreciated with mementoes.

Cash incentives are given to the teachers, who publish their articles in national or international

journals. The teachers, who produced 100% results in the subjects they handled, are appreciated and

honoured with Cash Awards. In order to make the staff not to be absent on working days, staff members,


who do not avail themselves of any kind of leave during the academic year, are given financial incentives.
