ANNEXUREII -Best Practices

i) Legal Clinic Goal

To create legal awareness among the students and community and make them law abiding citizens.

To inculcate democratic principles by imparting basic legal knowledge to the students and community.

To make the students aware of their rights and duties towards the society and the country.

Gender Issues


Context The soul of Indian Constitution is Social Justice. The Constitution of India states that “Ignorance of law is no excuse”. It means that every citizen of country should know the law. However, it is not possible to know each and every law which is in force. But it is expected that everyone knows at least the basic law and administrative system in the country. The faculty members of the Law department associate themselves with different organizations, students and community at large. They have come across legal illiteracy among the masses due to which they face various obstacles to solve their day to day problems. The main reason behind it is the lack of legal knowledge, government rules and procedure. To overcome these difficulties it is not necessary for citizens to have an in depth knowledge of existing law, only basic knowledge of law is required. But there are no citizen-friendly forums through which they can be educated. The institution’s objective is not just to impart education but also to serve the society within the available resources. Thus in the year 2005-06, the law department of Model College introduced a novel platform- “Legal Clinic “ with the motto “Social Justice is real happiness”. Practice

The clinic enrols interested students as their members free of charge. It has a panel of legal experts from whom the clinic takes the advice. The clinic gives representation to one member from Student Council, Gymkhana, Cultural, NSS Women Development Cell etc. to come out with any legal problems. The membership is extended to the alumni of the institution.

Legal clinic takes efforts to find out problems of residents in and around Dombivli. For this the members of legal clinic conduct surveys. Sincere and serious efforts are made to solve the problems.

Clinic creates consumer awareness programme by

a) Making the different group of students. b) Discussing the decided cases of National Commission & Supreme Court. c) Converting it into street play/ moot court / drama. d) Conducting Paper & Case Presentations among the students. e) Arranging group discussion/ debate / question – answer sessions. f) Arranging lectures / seminar / workshop etc.


Clinic creates awareness in preparing legal documentation for day to day use by

a) Forming groups of students. b) Allotting them topics. c) Guiding them for preparation and presentation. d) Arranging question answer sessions. e) Conducting discussion sessions

Clinic conducts guest lectures and workshops on legal issues. Clinic conducts visit to court, police station etc.

Evidence of Success

The legal clinic has been instrumental in creating legal literacy among the students and the community. The students are taking more interest because they get practical knowledge and opportunity to interact with the community in solving their problems.

There has been a substantial increase in the membership.

The legal clinic has succeeded in creating awareness in the society about its objectives and the services provided.

The common difficulties of students and community are to obtain various certificates which are required in day to day life such as domiciles, nationality, caste, citizenship, birth and death certificate, marriage certificate, pan card, aadhar card etc. The legal clinic has helped the members in guiding and in obtaining some of the certificates.

It has created consumer awareness among the students. It helped them to understand type of cases covered under Consumer Protection Act. It also helped to understand practically how to draft the complaint, the documents required, the procedure to be followed, judiciary function, etc.

The lectures delivered on legal documentation, helped students understand the importance of documentation in day to day life, matters to be covered under documentation and procedure of registration, stamping, etc.

Problems

The legal experts on the panel are unable to devote considerable time solely to the cause of Legal Clinic because of other commitments.


The Legal Clinic cannot solve all the legal problems brought to them. They act only as

advisors and counsellors. However, legal clinic is trying to create awareness amongst the community regarding legal aid to the poor through legal aid cell, established by the Law Ministry.

The Legal Clinic took up Moot Court, an extracurricular activity in which participants take part in simulated court proceedings, usually involving drafting memorials or memoranda and participating in oral argument.

A moot court competition simulates a court hearing (usually an appeal against a final decision), in which participants analyse a problem, research the relevant law, prepare written submissions, and present oral argument.

Legal Clinic organised Moot Court competition on 8th March, 2017 in the college premise for regular and SFC courses. Four teams participated, each team consisting of minimum 3 members and maximum 7 members. In all, 14 members participated.

The theme of the Moot Court Competition was a) Consumer Cases b) Criminal Cases related to Cyber Law c) Co-operative Society Cases

Three teams chose ‘Consumer Cases’ and other teams chose ‘Criminal Cases related to Cyber Law’. About 50 students attended the programme. Each team was given 15-20 minutes time to present their case. 4-5 minutes were given for judges to declare the verdict in the case. Moot Court turned out to be an open platform for the students to develop their personality and improve their power of expression. It also helped them to improve the legal knowledge which would be beneficial in their day-to-day life.

ii) Walk for One India

Goal

To instil basic human values like nationalism, patriotism, secularism and to create awareness about environment.

To invoke a sense of oneness among students and involve them in creative activities

To develop leadership quality.


Context In today’s era the dynamic young students have not only to be reared but also to be motivated to reach their destinations. The institution is instrumental in moulding the character of students and shaping their destiny, to be responsible citizens of India. The role of youth is of utmost importance in today’s time as they have the power to transform our country from a developing nation to a developed nation. There are lots of social problems in our country relating to women, youth, environment, economy, public health etc. Many citizens of India are unaware about their fundamental rights. Hence it is essential that more and more people be made aware of these issues so that we can fight them as a united force. Social awareness also makes the individual more matured and thoughtful when it comes to making important decisions for self or society. It is not very difficult to mobilize the youth for nation building tasks provided that one has the requisite honesty, intelligence and leadership. Once they are genuinely involved, their interest in constructive work would be aroused and they would be prepared to works sincerely for the welfare of the country. The institution’s objective is not only to impart education but also to instil basic human values like nationalism, patriotism, secularism etc. With this motive the institution has coined ‘Walk for One India’ to spread the message of national integration. Practice The college encourages its students to participate in the activity ’’Walk for one India” and showcase the diversity of India by using their own creativity. The initiative and enthusiasm of the students brings out a colourful display of Indian culture and invokes a sense of oneness among them. For the last few years the college organized the event - A Walkathon - to promote unity in diversity on the occasion of Republic Day. The walk is organized from Dombivli station to college, a distance of 5km. during which there is a spectacular display of various religious, cultural and social activities of India. Social and Environmental messages are also highlighted. Each class is given one theme and represents one state. The performance of each class is evaluated.

ANNEXUREIII -Feedback from Stakeholders Feedback was taken from various stakeholders such as students, alumni, parents, industry, employers, etc. The following observations were noted:

1) Students particularly from vernacular medium required additional coaching mainly

because the lectures were mostly delivered in English language which was the medium of instruction but they found difficult to follow. Therefore, additional lectures were conducted for such students.

2) The parents were more concerned with the academic performance and attendance of their wards. Steps were taken to monitor the attendance and inform the parents on a periodic basis. In addition mark sheets were distributed in the presence of parents so that they would also come to know of the academic performance of their wards.

3) The alumni was involved in guiding the students regarding the preparations required for appearing for written test and interviews for various job openings. Their experience was shared with the students for better performance in their career.


4) The college interacted with the industry to know their requirements regarding job skills so that the students can be prepared better for the vacancies that arise in firms. This interaction helped in better campus placements.

5) There were three types of feedback system – (1) Self-Appraisal for Teachers (2) Teachers feedback for Principal and (3) Students feedback for Teachers and Support services.

An analysis of the feedback given by students about teachers gave very pleasing observations. Of the 57 teachers in the aided and self-financing sections, as many as 17 teachers were rated above 80% while 33 teachers were rated between 70% and 80%. The teachers were rated on various criteria such as knowledge of the subject, managing time, clarity in explanation, class discipline etc. It is gratifying to note that 31 teachers have been rated above 80% for their in-depth knowledge; there was only one isolated case of a teacher rated below 60% for traits such as knowledge of subject, confidence, punctuality, treatment of students with dignity and respect for students’ opinion.
