The plan of action chalked out by the IQAC in the beginning of the year towards quality
enhancement and the outcome achieved by the end of the year *
It has provided the guidelines to the college on NAAC Re-accreditation process due in
2017.
It apprised the new permanent Principal, Prof. Dr. S.P.Shahi, about the progress of this
college in the last 5 years and also identified areas of improvement which had to be
prioritized for the re-accreditation process.
Most of the senior teachers who participated in the previous NAAC accreditation events
have superannuated, and have been replaced by younger teachers through transfers and
postings. For the first time, IQAC members held weekly meetings and a workshop for the
young faculty members and office staff, thereby making the entire initiative an inclusive
one. Consequently, the participation and enthusiasm of teachers, staff & students to
showcase the activities of this college has been exemplary.

This College persisted in its role as the front-runner in research activities amongst all state
universities. Under constant encouragement of the IQAC, further acquisition of new, innovative
research awards showcased the constant march of this college towards higher qualitative goals in
research and extension activities. Two projects with the highest capital outlay till date were awarded
to Department of EWM by DST, Govt. of India. The first project DST-WTI funded “Innowater” Project,
and the second project, Indo-UK Bilateral DST-UKIERI project on “Nature and nurture in arsenic
toxicity of Bihar, India” were awarded in 2016. Under these 2 projects, 5 JRFs and 1 project fellow
from local postgraduates have been hired as per DST protocol, thereby giving them the opportunity to
work on international platform. These projects have increased the research visibility and network of
A.N.College, so much so that recently this institution has been invited by one of its renowned UK
partner, University of Manchester, to participate in the multinational GCRF Research Infrastructure
Hub Proposal preparation.
At the national level, increasing collaborations and student internships have occurred with the IITs,
UGC-DAE, Indore , RR-CAT, Indore, RMRI, Patna, MCSRC, Patna and other institutions of national
repute.

Tree plantation drive was undertaken on 29 july 2016
On 29 July 2019 NSS Induction Day Ceremony was held.
“Swacchata Abhiyan” was conducted in the college on 4 October 2016
On 28-20 November 2016, an eye camp was held for staff, students and neighbouring
communities.
Blood donation camp was held on 6 December 2016
Youth Day Vivekanand Jayanti was celebrated in 12 January 2017
In keeping with total prohibition policy of the State of Bihar, a human chain for “No
Liquor” was formed by NSS, NCC and other students of this college.
In all the above events, NCC cadets and other students also participated.
Institutional Social Responsibility:
The Department of EWM, with funding from Prof. Arup Sengupta, LeHigh University,
Pennsylvania, USA, has installed a second arsenic filtration unit fabricated at LeHigh University,
in village Tilak Rai ka Hata in Buxar District. This village has been reporting a high number of
arsenic poisoning patients in Mahavir Cancer Hospital, Patna, which is a research partnering
institution of our college. Apart from validating this latest filtration technology, the filter is
providing arsenic free drinking and cooking water to about 45 families in the village. The unique
aspect is the massive social support received by the concerned faculty and students working in
that village by the village community. Now the neighbouring arsenic affected villagers have
requested the research team to set up such filtration units in their villages too, for which they will
extend all facilities like food, accommodation and even participation in maintenance and
monitoring of the filter unit.
The previously installed Maner filter unit, with community participation, is functioning well and
has served to increase rural awareness about clean drinking water.

This constituent College adheres to the rules and regulations of Magadh University. However,
some degree of academic autonomy exists in the self-financing vocational courses
departments, where new, innovative teaching and research activities have been initiated.
Members of Alumni Association maintain contact with the Secretary Dr. Sanjay K. Singh.
Following their visits to their alma mater, they communicate to Dr. Singh the strengths and
weaknesses, which is noted in the observations and communicated to the IQAC for further
action. Greening and cleaning of the campus, strengthening of the placement cell are some
of the suggestions that were accepted by the college authorities.
Since this is a college with large student intake in its different departments, selected
departments hold PTA every year. Parents , while appreciating the efforts of the institution to
usher in all-round development, stress on the need to make their wards “job-ready”. Some of
the Parents attend Sports events, visit campus as morning walkers, and keep themselves
informed about college activities. Most of the parents maintaining regular communication with
the college, have their daughters admitted here, and are satisfied with the teaching, and extra-
curricular activities of the college. Regarding low attendance of a section of students, it was
suggested that the parents be periodically informed about their wards’ attendance in case of
shortfall.

7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact on the
functioning of the institution. Give details.
7.2 Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at the
beginning of the year
This college has a good balance between departments excelling in teaching, and
departments contributing to research apart from teaching activities. The linking factor is the
integration of modern teaching and learning tools in its classrooms (Smart classes,
automated library, access to e-journals, new software, sharing of resources and expertise,
etc.).
This year, for the first time, a full Postgraduate course on Water Governance was taught by
Visiting Faculty from this college, under the Linnaeus-Palme Teacher Award of the Govt. of
Sweden; another teacher is serving as Invited Faculty for one year in Mauritius . Student
exchange programme was also initiated under Linnaeus –Palme initiative. Research vibrancy
increased with the hiring of 6 new JRFs and Project Fellow under the two DST projects

7.3 Two Best Practices of the Institution:
A. Establishment of Academia-Society Interface through Innovation in Science and
through social integration of Technology
a) Organic polymers have deleterious effect on environment and they degrade the
level of the eco-system. These polymers are a significant challenge on water
pollution and soil pollution because they are often disposed in landfills where
they will remain for centuries into future slowly leaking toxins into soils as the
time passes.
b) Taking into cognizance of the above fact, the Department of Physics has utilized
the natural polymers and flavonoids present in the plants for the synthesis of
nanomaterial by using GREEN Synthesis Protocol.
c) A student of the Department of Chemistry designed the periodic table in an
innovative way which was strongly appreciated and accepted by Kits division
of NCERT for making toys.
d) The relevance of scientific researches is gauzed by their contributions to the
societal progress and amelioration. Following the essence of the Vision and
Mission statement, the college has focused its R & D programmes towards the
benefit of the society. An international project entitled “Project INNOWATER
– Evolvement of Novel and Rapid Monitoring sensors in rural settings of
Bihar” is novel attempts in this direction. The mitigation strategies pertaining to
Arsenic and Fluoride contaminations have been widely acclaimed nationally
and internationally. The college has installed an Arsenic filtration unit to be
operated through solar energy in Buxar district in February 2017. The recently
completed DST-NIAS sponsored project on “Community based technological
solution for providing safe drinking water to Arsenic exposed population in
Ganga-Meghna-Bramhputra Delta” in the Dept. of Environment and Water
Management, has created a model in which sustainable arsenic mitigation is
obtained through green technology and community participation. As water
quality issues are researched upon through field work, the concerned village
communities are informed and awareness generated. Their queries for alternate
clean sources of water are met through installation of water filtration units,
funded by collaborating universities and maintained and monitored by A.N.
College, Patna. The villagers have developed a proactive relationship with A.N.
College, Patna. They are now participating in monitoring, maintenance work of
the filter units. Such developments have aided in the formulation of a
sustainable clean water model with community participation.
B. Inculcating social responsibilities amongst students through college activities
As our students largely hail from middle class and BPL families of the state, Co- and
Extracurricular activities provide them a direction in life on the basis of classroom
teaching and ground experiences. The social issues addressed by the college under the
umbrella of NSS activities include Environmental issues in our society, Drug abuse,
Stress Management, Malnutrition and Gender inequality, Sex crime and role of youth in
its prevention and Sanitation. A survey and monitoring programme of pension
distribution was assigned to the college by the Dept. of Social Welfare, Govt. of Bihar.
Awareness workshops were organized by the college on AIDS, Physical disability and
Swachchata Abhiyan.
