Annexure II

BEST PRACTICE - I 1. Title of the practice:-

V.K.K Menon College ‘students’ consumer co-operative society Ltd. 2. Goal:-

Co-operative society is an innovative idea, put into practise for the students to participate and understand the concept of co-operative society. Like the concept of laboratories for science subjects, co-operative society can be considered as a laboratory for the commerce students, the stress have been – ‘Learning by doing’.

AQAR REPORT 2014-15


3. The context:- This was a unique concept in university education and hence at the beginning, when the idea was at the verge of implementation the way forward was not very clear. Nor was there any assurance that this experiment would be successful or how long it will continue.

4. The practice:- As mentioned earlier, this is a co-operative society and hence intended to be helpful to the consumers (which in our case happens to be the students) rather than a profit – making endeavour for the college. As in any co-operative society a managing committee is elected for a period of one year, with all office bearers (enclosed please find an office bearer list for the current year as a ready reckoner) like treasurer, secretary etc. The society is wholly looked after by the students, with a teacher being a guardian and guide in difficulties. The Principal acts as the President. Books, articles, various laboratory apparatus like test tube holders, aprons, platinium wires etc. are on sale in the co-operative store, with in the college. These materials are sold much below the sale price. This benefits the student buyer. The managing committee meetings are conducted periodically and the students undertake various functions of the society very diligently. Some of our students are doing projects on the ‘working of V.K.K.M College student’s co-operative society, as part of adult and continuing education and extension programme of the University of Mumbai. Lockers are given to the needy students on a very nominal rate. The students maintain the accounts and other documents of the society. The society gives two scholarships to two meritorious and economically backward students of both junior and senior college on the annual day of the college. The final year students who are working as member of the managing committee are also given scholarship during the year. Dividends are distributed among the members (students) every year.

5. Evidence of success:- Although no targets and benchmarks are kept to measure the success of the endeavour it is easy to gauge that students over a period of time learn to conduct meetings, keep records, calculate profits and in short occupy position in the set up thereby achieving maturity and understanding in facing the problem likely to be encountered in the normal functioning of the society.

6. Problems encountered and resources required:-

AQAR REPORT 2014-15


While forming the society all the formalities were not known, nor were the legal implications. Creating awareness among the students was also a herculean task. Resources:- Ideally a room should be made available to the society. The room should be of such dimension and with standard paraphranalia so as to be used as an office. Sufficient racks to keep the materials (books, articles etc) to be sold, should be provided. Apart from this basic requirement, modification and alteration according to the need can be carried out.

BEST PRACTICE - II

1. Title of the practice:- ‘Thalassaemia Testing for the students.’

2. Goal:- Thalassaemia is a under detected and less understood affliction with genetic predisposition.

3. The Context:- Students of our college coming mostly from the lower socio-economic strata of the society need a supporting hand and need to be made aware of the precaution to be taken if tested positive for Thalassaemia. This prevents avoidable misery and extreme expenditure for treating children of the Thalassaemia minor patients.

AQAR REPORT 2014-15


4. The Practice:- Blood donation drives (sometimes even twice in a year) has been an activity regularly conducted in our college. Students attending the blood donation drive undertake a ‘Thalassaemia’ test free of cost but from the year 2013-14 we are

collecting Rs.50/-. This test otherwise would cost upwards of ` 800/- in reputed

laboratories. Students detected with Thalassaemia minor trait are counselled as to the precaution to be taken. A day or two before the intended date of testing and blood donation, senior personnel from the blood bank and a voluntary organization such as Rotary Club interacts with the students by visiting the class rooms. The importance of testing is highlighted during these visits and examples of successful people from various fields having the Thalassaemia trait but has been leading a successful and interesting lives are presented to the students, to drive away any misconception, they might harbour regarding the test and the possibility of having the affliction.

5. Evidence of success:- On an average five students are detected with Thalassaemia every year during the testing, and they are counselled accordingly.

6. Problems encountered and Resources required:- Co-ordinating with a charitable institution would be of utmost importance

as this would help in bringing down the cost of testing and counselling A person knowledgable about Thalassaemia would be really helpful in

conveying the importance of the test, as also the precaution that needs to be taken in case of existing Thalassaemia trait in a student. If such a person is not available among the staff of the college(A Biology teacher well-versed in the genetic aspects and the different versions of the disease would be advantageous) another such person from outside, ie, either from the blood bank or from a charitable institution or a medical practitioner, who has the necessary resources in terms of time, energy and willingness need to be involved.

Necessary time and place need to be made available by the institution for the safe conduction of all the above activities including drawing of blood, safe-keeping, lecture rescheduling etc.
