PREFACE
Quality enhancement in higher education is a continuous
process. There is an urgent need to adopt and use innovative tools
and techniques which are learner friendly to make the teaching
learning process more interesting and fruitful. Quality is never an
accident. Quality can be improved only when all stake holders
including the teachers, students and institutes make a determined
effort to improve quality. Use of interactive learning is the need of
the hour. It is important to use modern equipment's like computers,
projectors and multimedia methods to make teaching learning more
viable. Use of internet, virtual classrooms, e-learning, online learning
will further help to uplift the quality in higher education. There is
scope for continuous improvement as there is always room for more
improvement. Concept of better than the best must be adopted to
make room for more improvement.
The volume of the proceeding of the National Conference on
'Exploring Innovative Tools and Techniques for Quality
Enhancement in Higher Education: Learner Friendly Approach'
held at Lala Lajpatrai College on 12th September 2015 includes the
Key note address, foreword and the papers presented by the
participants in the conference. The proceeding is enriched by the
contribution of all research scholars who have given diverse views
and suggestions on quality enhancement. The publication will be
useful reference for teachers and students.
Dr. Neelam Arora
FOREWORD
I am pleased to release this proceeding where we wish to express
our views that in this era of Globalisation, Innovation in every aspect
of life has become imperative. The phenomenal shift in the mode
and delivery of education today has driven us towards Outcome
Based Education where the pedagogy is more demonstrative.
It is very important to sustain and enhance Quality in Higher
education. Quality is a very abstract terminology having various
dimensions. We at our conference thus had a theme and sub themes
on parameters which includes newer techniques in class room
teaching to demonstrate actual learning outcome, giving
opportunity to young enthusiastic students a platform for overall
personality development through responsibilities undertaken
through various curricular and extra-curricular activities, analysis
and assessment by introspection and SWOT analysis to give a clear
direction to move ahead in this competitive world.
This conference also encompassed a separate section for
academic leaders and management representatives without whom
progress is not possible. Research today is considered the most
important pillar in channelizing our interest either by publishing
papers in journals of repute or by owning patents and protecting
our innovations.
I'm sure this sub theme will convey message and awareness to
own and protect our own ideas and ways and means to reach it to
Industry.
Presentation is yet another important aspect to prove our
performance. A soft skill plays a pivotal role in shaping one's career.
I am sure that the various sub themes included in this conference
will enhance each one of us to explore Innovative Tools & Techniques
for Quality Enhancement in Higher education and also ensure that
all these would work if----it's going to be a more friendly
approach!!!!!!

APPLICATION OF NEW TECHNIQUES FOR
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN CLASSROOMS
Ms. Akshaya Bagwe
Abstract :
Call it active learning, or classroom participation every
teacher wants to know how to motivate studentsto participate, and
how to nurture more to involved students in classroom. With a little
extra planning, that is possible. Teaching methods and techniques
are most important to enhance the learning environment of
classroom. Classroom teaching quality deficiencies have gravely
affected students academic performance. The study was carried
out to ascertain the impact of different teaching techniques on
students. Several authors and researchers have given
recommendationsworth considering enhancing staff performance
and students learning. Use of several innovative techniques and
methods results in high degree of involvement in classroom on
students end leading towards creating learner friendly approach.
Objective of the study :
1.

3.
Research methodology:
Study on creative teaching techniques was carried out on the
basis of secondary data such as books, articles by various authors,
data from several websites, journals etc.
Introduction :
In ancient times, during the stage of Vidyarambh, Shishya
used to stay at the Ashram of his Guru to gain the knowledge for
several years. Often, time span of several years used to benefit both
Shishya and Guru to enhance the knowledge. But in todays
scenario, teacher has few hours to share the knowledge with
students. And hence, creative or new teaching techniques are
extremely important to enhance the quality of learning environment
in classroom. Every method or teaching technique has different
impact on students. The impact is summarised below:
Tell me, I forget
Show me, I remember
Involve me, I undstand
To enhance the level of undstanding of students, involvement
of students in the classroom is pre-requite. Teacher should encourage
creative environment in classroom with the help of new techniques
to enhance the quality of learning environment.
Creativity in the classroom :
It has been said that Every student and every teacher has
immeasurable untapped reserves of competence and creativity.
To cater this creativity, teacher should encourage the social climate
for creativity. Social climate i.e. a non-threatening, non-controlling
climate is a good one for combination and recombination of
ideas. Because teacher can do much to shape the learning
environment, teacher have many opportunities to foster creativity.
Teacher behaviour that may foster or enhance creativity include:
Modelling: Share your thinking with students; explain how
you create or combine ideas
Communicating expectations: Let students know that creative
ideas are expected and welcome
List assumptions:
Typical assumptions include:

Role plays :
In most role-playing exercises, each student takes the role of a
person affected by an issue and studies an issue or events from the
perspective of that person.
How to conduct :
Role plays should give the students an opportunity to practice
what they have learned and should interest the students. Provide
concrete information and clear role descriptions so that students
can play their roles with confidence. Once the role play is finished,
spend some time on debriefing.
Storyboarding :
Story-boarding can be compared to spreading students
thoughts out on a wall as they work on a project or solve a problem.
Story boards can help with planning, ideas, communications and
organization.This method allows students to see the
interconnections, how one idea relates to another, and how pieces
come together. Once the ideas flow, students become immersed in
the problem and hitch-hike other ideas.
How to conduct :
Use a cork board or similar surface to pin up index cards or use
Post-it notes on a whiteboard. Begin with a set of topic cards, and
13
under each place header cards for general points, categories, etc.
Under these, place sub-heading cards that will be contain ideas
and details generated that support the headers. During a story board
session, consider all ideas relevant, no matter how impractical they
appear.
For example,
Decision Tree :
A decision tree is a visual and analytical decision support tool,
often taught to undergraduate students in schools of business,
health economics, and public health. They are simple to understand
and interpret, have value even in the absence of hard data, and can
be combined with other decision techniques.

A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF COMPETENT
ADMINISTRATION IN ENHANCING QUALITY IN
HIGHER EDUCATION" WITH SPECIAL
FOCUS ON LEADERSHIP
Dr. Arun S Poojari
ABSTRACT :
The role of administrators at different levels play an important
role on the integrity, effectiveness and efficiency of the organization.
The role of university and college department heads, directors, and
administrators have the challenging task of managing resources
within a complex environment of university policies and state and
central regulations and should be held accountable and recognized
for performance. Therefore it is important for university, college
and departmental administrators to accept their responsibilities
and understand that they are to be held accountable for sound
business practices. Administrators work in areas such as
admissions, quality assurance, data management and examinations
and with departments such as finance and human resources.
The current study highlights a significant relationship exists
between leadership and Institutes effectiveness. Changes in an
Institutes strategy bring about new management challenges which,
in turn require new strategies to be successfully implemented. To
guarantee that standards and quality in education management

A leader must look upon the situation and should make right
decision to exercise his powers. Suppose if employees are not happy
with their job, and their reduced satisfaction is leading to less
productivity, then leader should make wise decisions to make
employee happy by providing him increased pay or promotion.
The leader can motivate an unhappy employee by providing him
those rewards and benefits that are of great value to them.
Recommendations :
Leadership could become important factor to motivate employee
in organization especially in higher education organization.
Because higher education is public service organization and usually
related to students and lectures or professors, so leaders in this
organization must become agent of change and agent of services for
this organization thus motivate the employee of this organizations
must one of many priority to be taken of the leaders in this
organization kind.Top leaders like head of university, head of
faculty, head of the department program and head of bureaucrat
must focus their attention to motivate employee especially
administration employee to get higher employee performance also
higher organizational performance especially higher education or
university performance.

IMPROVISATION TOOLS IN HIGHER
EDUCATION TO MAKE IT MORE LEARNER
FRIENDLY
Dr. Divya Nigam
Abstract :
It is very aptly said that just as every mother is born out of
child, every teacher is born out of a student. Art of dissemination,
transfer and imparting of knowledge by teacher, is crafted and
acquired on the basis of requirement, need, potential and personality
of the taught. The role of a teacher as a friend, mentor, guide,
inspiration and source of knowledge, is not the concept of modern
era, rather; it has been there for centuries. A good teacher is one
who can express his/her point of view clearly, who can understand
a childs problem, who is ready to help at any time, who knows
what is right and what is wrong; a teacher who is very hardworking
and friendly too who can light the future of student not just in terms
of career but in terms of overall development of personality, values
and perception. In developing yet progressive nation like India
where education sector is ridden with numerous administrative or
logistic constraints, the task of the teacher is even more challenging,
who by using various strategies and innovative techniques can
convert hell into heaven and ensure the best possible education to
the student learner. This paper attempts to dwell upon such
techniques which have combination of modern and traditional
aspects and at the same time learner friendly.

peer learning have long been recognized and are especially relevant
today. However, many existing assessment practices act to
undermine the goals of peer learning and lead students to reject
learning cooperatively. If assessment gives students the message
that only individual achievement is valued, and that collaborative
effort is akin to cheating, then the potential of peer learning will not
be realized. Inappropriate assessment practices may also lead to
unhelpful forms of competition within and between groups that
prevent groups functioning effectively..
Conclusion:
The entire educational system runs on the primary standard of
the level of factual knowledge acquired. The prevailing learner
friendly techniques come from the scholars and researchers who
have either applied themselves or on others and found positive
outcome.
Teachers must primarily be not suppliers of information but
helpful guides to students own learning initiatives. They should
leave the fact finding to books and instead take a supporting role to
the students own learning experience. The innovative techniques
if used in a appropriate way would prove to be instrumental in
channelizing, redirecting and focusing right education among
learners.

Many soft skills are inherent; others can be learned just like hard
skills. Apart from the regular college curricular and extracurricular
activities organized by the college like competitions, sports, freshers
and farewell parties, events, programs, educational and field trips,
picnics , NCC and NSS, committee programs etc.the following
strategies works.

CHANGING NEEDS OF DISTANCE
EDUCATION IN INDIA WITH RESPECT TO THE
INCREASING ICT ENABLED EDUCATION IN
MODERN TIMES
Ms. Kranti Ukey & Mr. Kapildeo Indurkar
42
Introduction:
Distance education is a system of imparting education to the
learners who cannot attend the regular system of education. This is
a system where education is delivered through correspondence
courses to the distant learners. The working students, dropped-out
students, physically handicapped people and also the in- service
people who wish to learn new courses, are benefitted by this mode
of education. Distance education is practiced in almost all parts of
the world. Many of the Indian Universities has a separate unit or
institute to provide distance education. Self-explanatory printed
course materials, sometimes along with audio CDs are provided to
the learners. Some institutes provide personal contact programs to
the learners to solve their problems. Except this, there is no direct
contact of the learners and the instructors.
In modern times, the traditional regular class-room teaching is
undergoing a massive change. In the technological world today,
the teaching methodologies are changing very fast. Use of audiovideo systems, internet, video conferencing, pre-recorded audiovideo tapes, etc is being adopted. With the use of all these e-learning
sources, the conventional class-rooms are becoming ICT enabled,
which is keeping the students more updated and enabling them to
face cut-throat competition in recent times. On the other hand the
distance education system relies more on the traditional print media
system and needs to be updated with the use of latest technological
tools. There is slow shift already seen but the pace needs to be
increased more particularly in South Asian countries including
India.
Objectives:
The objective of the current study is to discuss and explore the
needs of the distance education in the present era with respect to
the changing technological advancement. It aims at increasing the
efficiency and effectiveness of the current practice with the
pedagogical change. With the use of powerful technological tools,
it aims at providing the learners an edge over the conventional
methods to face challenges in modern world.
43
Pre- recorded video tapes can used to deliver the lectures more
particularly to understand the visual content of the course,
which will certainly fill the gap of print media.
On-line tools like you tube can be used where the lectures or
instructions or the practical can be uploaded and that will be
viewed by the learners at their workplace or at home. This is
one of user-friendly method where the learners can access it
according to their time and space.

APPLICATION OF NEW TECHNIQUES FOR
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN CLASSROOMS
Ms. Manisha A. Mahatale
Abstract:
Education has always been facing challenges in ensuring that
the quality of teaching and learning takes place effectively.
Classroom teaching quality deficiencies have a greatly affected
students academic performance in schools. This study was carried
out to ascertain from students types of teaching methods that
teaches employ in their teaching. This paper adopts and uses the
principles from one of the quality management and improved
framework in managing scrutinizing and enhancing the quality of
teaching and learning practices in higher education. The paper
focuses on the limited application areas of specific key components
of a total quality management tool in managing needs, expectations
and problems of the students. A questionnaire was administered to
50 student. The study revealed that more than 60% of students are
familiar with some type of teaching methods. However students
are not aware of some latest technology based techniques.
Keywords: Quality Improvement, Teaching and learning.
Introduction:
The population of student learning various things has been
steadily increasing from year to year. To succeed in college, students
must develop every type of skills. Every teacher desires to see that
his students are able to assimilate the knowledge impacted to them
49
so that they will excel in their academic work and also be useful to
themselves and the society in which they find themselves.
Institutions differ from each other but most of them have the common
objective of making sure that they do all they can be enable them
achieve their mission and vision. Kinkup and Kickwood (2005)
contend that the extent to which the staff of institutions embrace
new technologies and their attitude to its adoption vary according
to their context and circumstances. The implication here is that
even though some staff member are already familiar with the use of
some online tool for supporting students and are every excited to
experiment, other staff members find the choice of new tools
bewildering and intimidating.
Methodology:
Sample and Design:
This study was conducted using 50 students being offered
Bachelor of Education in Janata College of Education in Gondwana
University, Gadchiroli. The researchers conducted the study with
different important lectures using purposive sampling. The
researcher were given permission to see the respondents.
Respondents were not concerned into taking part is research.
Instrumentation:
The instrument used for the study was questionnaire. The
questions covered the different areas like types of teaching methods
teachers/ lecturers use and ways improving classroom teaching.
The respondents were also introduced to the purpose of both
questionnaires. The researchers assured them of confidentially of
any information they will provide.
Result and Discussion:
Two groups of students were used as respondents in this paper.
One group made of distance learning students. The other group
consisted of regular students i.e. Non-distance learning students.
The respondent were given two open ended questions and they
were not limited to any specific number of responses.
Question 1: Type of Teaching Methods Teachers use:
The response revealed some interesting information. The first
question requested to write the types of teaching methods that their
50
lecturers/ teachers use, and second question tried to find out from
respondents what could be done to improve classroom teaching.

lessons in such a way that they will have the maximum potential of
all teachers.
Another thing teachers/ lecturers could do to enhance teaching
is to incorporate the 10 2 strategy into teaching. Here the teacher
has to teach for 10 minutes and allow the students to discuss in
pairs what he said within the last 10 minutes.
Conclusion :
This paper has looked at ways of improving classroom teaching
methods. Different techniques of improving teaching will create a
successful teaching method. Students become increasingly familiar
with all these techniques. This will certainly build confident in the
students. Again it would also guide the teachers when it come to
the planning of his lesions. When all the methods of teaching and
ways of improving teaching / lecturing are considered it will be
expedient for institutions to take into consideration the recommend
outlined to help enhance students learning.

Introduction :
For the overall development of students, curriculum is not only
the single criteria. The holistic growth as well as to develop the
various facets ofpersonality developmentof students; classroom
teaching should be supplemented with co-curricular and extension
activities. These out of class activities affect all domains of life such
as cognitive (intellectual), emotional, social, moral, cultural and
aesthetic.Co-curricular activities meaning are more focused upon
cognitive aspects thereby help in intellectual development.
Competitiveness, excellence, quality achievements, creativeness and
enthusiasm strengthen the meaning of co- curricular activities in
higher education.
Activities sponsored or recognized by a school or college which
are not part of the academic curriculum but are acknowledged to be
an essential part of the life of an educational institution. Co curricular activities include sports, school bands, student
newspaper etc. They may also be classed as Extracurricular i.e.
activities carried on outside the regular course of study; activities
outside the usual duties of a job, as extra class activities- according
toThe International Dictionary of Education (1977).
Importance of Co-curricular and Extension Activities for the overall
development :
To realize the all-round development of student, curricula
should be amalgamated with co-curricular activities. Co-curricular
activities help in realization of aims and objectives of education. In
the practical life, the students able to express their ideas freely due
to active participation in debate and extempore. Games and Sports
make them mentally and physically fit and sound.. Sometimes,
classroom teaching becomes monotonous and routine. Here, co-

THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS TO ENHANCE
LEARNING IN COMMERCE COLLEGES - A
CASE STUDY OF LALA LAJPATRAI
COLLEGE.
Dr. Neelam Arora
Abstract :
The demand for commerce education in the city of Mumbai is
ever growing. A large number of students select the commerce field
as their course option. The commerce courses includes course in
B.com, Bachelor of Management studies, Bachelor of Banking and
Insurance, Bachelor of Accounting and Finance. Use of information
technology is increasing multi fold in higher education. According
to Alexisand Mathews Leon in their book entitled Fundamentals
of Information Technology they have stated
In this information age education should provide students
technological familiarity, literacy, application of mathematical
concepts, knowledge of culture, communication skills and the
ability to learn new subjects.
Computers allow students to learn based on the drill-andpractice principle. The computer-based training software allows
students to learn at their own pace, in small steps and give feedback
about how much they have learned.

Paper and pen may soon become tools of the past. Lala Lajpatrai
College of commerce and economics is a leading college in the city
of Mumbai. The teaching staff and students of the college are
encouraged to use technology in the teaching learning process. The
college has purchased number of computers, LCDs, Laptops,
projectors and Smart Boards.

The above Figure shows the year wise usage of the LCD
projectors from the library over a period of nine years. In the year
2006 the usage was 426 times in a year which declined to 367 times
in a year in2007 showing a decline of 59 times less usage than 2006.
However there is continues rise thereafter as seen above. 2008
showed a usage of 429 times which was 3 times more than 2006. In
2009 the projector was used for 440 times which was 14 times more
than the 2006 usage. The usage in 2010 was 816 times in a year as
compared to 426 times in 2006 showing a sharp rise in its use with

80
year 2014 the number of students using the internet in the library
was 3524 which is 2825 less students as compared to 2006. The
main reason for the decline in number of students in using the
internet in the library is mainly because by 2007 onwards internet
connections were added in the computer laboratories and on the
floors, thus the students had access to internet in other areas as
well. Thus the number of students using the internet in the library
witnessed a declined. By the year 2014 every classroom in the class
had internet connection enabling the students to get free access to
the internet through WI-FI anywhere in the college building. Thus
although the number of internet users using the facility in the library
declined but the actual use of internet increased due access in other
areas as well.
Conclusion :
We can see that the use of Information Technology is widely
used in the teaching learning process in the Lala Lajpatrai college
of commerec and economics. The teaching staff and students use
projectors and interent to enhance the teaching learning process.

DEVELOPS EMPLOYABILITY AND
ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS-AN OVERVIEW
Ms. Nidhi Singh
Abstract:
Changes in economic and social fundamentals call for
transformation in skills, capabilities and attitude of workforce and
hence requires shift in knowledge delivery pattern in existing
Education System. This article looks into the current requirements
of market and emphasizes the use of innovative teaching techniques
at undergraduate level to generate employable Graduates. This work
has been built upon previous articles. It critically examines the
traditional methods of teaching and explores the new technologies
which can be utilized widely to expand the education toolbox. It
stresses on the fact that success of these innovative methods largely
depends on the ability of teachers to utilize them fully, hence implies
regular training for teaching staff. It also points towards the
corresponding response of Education Sector when the demand in
market for type of skills changes. It explores the different ways in
which the stakeholders of Education Sector, i.e., academia, industry
and Government agencies can coordinate and cooperate to reduce
the gap between the skills required and skills the graduates acquire.

Case Study :
Curtin University, Australia has developed nine graduate
attributes which strongly link to employability and has mapped
every course with these attributes. By 2010 it aimed to achieve the
goal of enormously high employability. Similarly Victoria University
has begun a New School of Thought to ensure that its courses best
serve the needs of industry and community needs. It has
implemented two policies. Firstly, a cluster of twelve industries has
been identified whose prominent leaders have direct say in course
redesign to make it more industry compatible. Secondly, 25%
learning has to take place at industry. This will impart practical
creative skills to the students. Further, National Careers Service
launched Skills Assessment Tools in UK which helps students
assess their Employability and Trainability skills according to their
performance. These innovative tools allow the graduates to identify
their personal skills.

APPLICATION OF NEW TECHNIQUES FOR
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN CLASSROOMS
Dr. Purnima Sharma
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest among college
faculty in the teaching methods variously grouped under the terms
active learning and cooperative learning. However, even with
this interest, there remains much misunderstanding of and mistrust
of the pedagogical movement behind the words. The majority of
all college faculties still teach their classes in the traditional lecture
mode. Some of the criticism and hesitation seems to originate in the
idea that techniques of active and cooperative learning are
genuinealternativesto, rather than enhancements of, professors
lectures. The lecture is a very efficient way to present information
but use of the lecture as the only mode of instruction presents
problems for both the instructor and the students. There is a large
amount of research attesting to the benefits of active learning.
Most students cannot stay focused throughout a lecture. After
about 10 minutes their attention begins to drift, first for brief
moments and then for longer intervals, and by the end of the lecture
they are taking in very little and retaining less. A classroom research
study showed that immediately after a lecture, students recalled
70% of the information presented in the first ten minutes and only
20% of that from the last ten minutes, thus there arises a need for
new techniques to be introduced for quality improvement in
classrooms.

effects comes into full play in English class teaching and sets a
favorable platform to reform and to explore on English teaching
model in the new era. It has been proved that multimedia technology
can play a positive role in promoting activities and initiatives of
student and teaching effectively in the classroom.
Multimediaisthe amalgamation of differentcontent forms. It
contains a combination oftext,audio,still images,animation,video,
orinteractivitycontent forms. It is generally recorded and played,
displayed, or accessed byinformation contentprocessing devices,
such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of
a live performance. Multimedia devices areelectronic mediadevices
used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is
distinguished frommixed mediainfine art; by including audio, for
example, it has a broader scope. Multimedia offers a complex multisensory experience in exploring our world through the presentation
of information through text, graphics, images, audio and video,
and there is evidence to suggest that a mixture of words and pictures
increases the likelihood that people can integrate a large amount of
information.
The using of multimedia in classroom cannot be denied any
longer. That will enable the teachers to provide more opportunities
to students to enjoy the process of learning. Traditional classrooms
are different from the multimedia classrooms. Students are seated
in rows and a chalkboard in the front. The teacher stands in front of
the class giving a lecture. Compared with traditional classrooms,
multimedia classrooms differ greatly. In the multimedia classrooms,
students seat can be adjusted according to the situation needed.
Inside the classrooms, all the equipmentare available and make the
students feel comfortable to study. They are seated at wide tables in
comfortable chairs and have plenty of room to spread work. Besides,
they also have the opportunity to move the furniture around for
group discussions. A large teaching station is located at the front
and to one side of the room. Inside the station cabinet there are
controls for the rooms built-in equipment. The use of multimedia
described here makes use of print texts, film and Internet to develop
and enhance linguistics and knowledge. Through their interactions

EDUCATION IN INDIA
Mr. Raj A. Soshte
ABSTRACT :
Education is the basic need of every society. The social, scientific
and technological development of the country is based on good
education system. A better education system can enhance the social,
scientific and technological improvement of a country. Higher
education caters to the education in the colleges and universities.
Higher education is recognized today as a capital investment and
is of paramount importance for economic and social development
of the country. The importance of education for the development of
excellence expertise and knowledge leading to overall development
in economy cannot be undermined. The system of higher education
is found efficient in making available to the society a dedicated,
committed, devoted and professionally sound team of human
resources to decide the future of any nation. This is possible only
when the principles of quality management are inculcated in the
system of higher education. This paper aims to the review the quality
enhancement in Higher education in India and this paper also

MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN HIGHER
EDUCATION
ON THE
ABSTRACT :
Teaching is referred to as a Noble Profession due to its focus
on equipping the students with knowledge, skills, and aptitudes
along with shaping and polishing their personal value systems,
beliefs & attitudes, behaviour norms, which in combination become
a stable support in their lives, with the use of which, they are able to
carve out their individual niches in their careers and personal lives.
Since universities, like business organizations, are also required to
operate in a highly complex, competitive & dynamic environments,
universities imparting higher education, often, also find themselves
at crossroads where timely changes and adjustments are required
to be made in their whole functioning, in order to keep abreast of the
rapid changes taking place around them.
A university can be compared to a business organization
because both have the same functionality, process and objectives in
that sense. An organization has a product to offer to its customers
in its chosen market. Akin to this, the universitys product is the
knowledge / education it has to offer to its students in the chosen

management system to achieve high performance objectives.

world which he aspires to join post his education and which will
open the doors of these sought-after corporates who would find
him acceptable and matching their requirements. The corporate
also need candidates who do not just possess outdated theoretical
inputs, but practical, modern day knowledge and skills required in
the actual corporate world. The university has to give this angle a
serious thought and devise and design the curricula in due
consultation and close coordination with the corporate leaders and
thought-drivers
(iii) Design a production process that facilitates doing the job
right the first time. Here we are referring to the quality of the teachers
engaged in the profession. It is imperative that with the change in
the curricula, there has also got to be a humungous change in the
way of the teachers approach. Imparting education and learning,
both have to adopt a practical aspect driven by todays practical
values and requirements. Again the researcher would like to stress
on the use of modern, highly inter-active and well accepted
technological tools which find easy acceptance amongst todays
learners. The development of new thinking models leads to the
acceptance of changes as normal & natural phenomena of permanent
adaptation to the social & economic environment. Intelligence allows
obtaining more apt solutions and therefore the creativity and
innovative attitudes lead to new things. Using such models of
thinking, the knowledge can be assessed more & thus the models of
behaviour allow the evolution of the values into an intensive &
competitive climate.
(iv) Keep track of the results & use those to guide improvement
in the system. Never stop to trying to improve. This is by far the
most important aspect that higher education should focus on. Often,
in a country like ours, public memory is short lived and academic
bodies, like other government and quasi government institutions,
are subject to the whims & fancies of the powers that be. A step
forward is followed by five steps in the reverse direction due to the
desires of bureaucratic bosses. It is not merely enough to bring about
systematic, structured changes in all aspects as detailed above, but
also there has to be an element of monitoring & review at all times,
to ensure that the desired results are being achieved or is the gap
134
widening further apart. Only timely corrective action will help the
successful culmination of one effort, only to be followed up by
another effort. It has to be a continuous process driven by the desire
to excel and bring and promote the best quality of higher education
for the ultimate benefit of the learners and also the nation as a
whole. Perfection has to be a continuous journey without the
destination in sight. Complacency and mediocrity and satisfaction
with mediocrity have to be avoided at all costs.
(v) Extend these concepts to all stakeholders. This is the
ultimate key to enhancing quality in higher education on
sustainable basis. The TQM philosophy has to permeate into the
very fabric of our education system, whereby all stakeholders
understand its finer nuances and the benefits it brings with it. Once
this awareness is kindled, the fire has to be kept burning and the
processes have to become an integral part of the functioning,
administration & management of the university.
Conclusion :
TQM is not a magic wand which can make disappear the ills
being faced by modern education system. However, it is essential to
create a lasting culture of quality management in all aspects of
university functioning, administration & management. Just as
business organizations have evolved in their quality journey and
have come to use TQM principles to effectively survive & thrive, in
the same manner, TQM principles need to be and can be applied
effectively in higher education. Higher education is an essential
landmark in a learners education journey, which actually gives a
significant & long lasting direction to his life & career. Although
our education system has evolved its own quality standards over
the past several decades, there has been a growing two-fold focus
One, is the growing disconnect between the corporate & the
academia. And the second is the dynamic environment faced by
educational institutions and the intensely growing competition,
with multiple institutions offering same specialties & domain
knowledge, it has become imperative for higher education
institutions to look beyond conventional quality standards and
methods and adopt the tried and tested TQM way of life.

FACILITATING EFFECTIVE STUDENT
LEARNING THROUGH TEACHER RESEARCH
AND INNOVATION
Dr. Rani Tyagi
ABSTRACT :
Academicians have been arguing for decades about whether or
not faculty research supports undergraduate instruction. Those
who say it doesa group that includes most administrators and
faculty memberscite many ways in which research can enrich
teaching, while those on the other side cite numerous studies that
have consistently failed to show a measurable linkage between the
two activities. This article proposes that the two sides are debating
different propositions: whether research can support teaching in
principle and whether it has been shown to do so in practice. The
article reviews the literature on the current state of the research
teaching nexus and then examines three specific strategies for
integrating teaching and scholarship: bringing research into the
classroom, involving undergraduates in research projects, and
broadening the definition of scholarship beyond frontier
disciplinary research. Finally, ways are suggested to better realize
the potential synergies between faculty research and undergraduate
education.
Keywords: research-teaching nexus, research, teaching

INTRODUCTION :
Research and teaching have different goals and require different
skills and personal attributes. The primary goal of research is to
advance knowledge, while that of teaching is to develop and
enhance abilities. Researchers are valued mainly for what they
discover and for the problems they solve, and teachers for what
they enable their students to discover and solve. Excellent
researchers must be observant, objective, skilled at drawing
inferences, and tolerant of ambiguity, and excellent teachers must
be skilled communicators, familiar with the conditions that promote
learning and expert at establishing them, and approachable and
empathetic. Having both sets of traits is clearly possible and
desirable but not necessary to be successful in one domain or the
other. Moreover, first-class teaching and first class research are each
effectively full-time jobs, so that time spent on one activity is
generally time taken away from the other. There should consequently
be no surprise if studies reveal no significant correlation between
faculty research and effective teaching.
Given that expectations for faculty research have risen at the
same time that higher education is facing demands for increased
public accountability, the advantages of strengthening the
connection between research and teaching (or to introduce the term
commonly used in this context, the research-teaching nexus) seem
clear, and several studies encourage a stronger connection. Students
obviously can benefit from effective linkages between faculty
research and undergraduate education; faculty can benefit from
the efficiency and satisfaction of integrating their primary
professional responsibilities, universities may benefit when their
stakeholders perceive that they are not neglecting their educational
missions, since a more positive public image may translate into
greater financial support from legislative, industrial and
philanthropic groups and more student applicants, resulting in a
stronger and more selective student body.
In short, there are numerous reasons to strengthen the research
teaching nexus, at both the individual faculty and institutional
level. Toward this end, we examine in this paper three commonly

DISTANCE EDUCATION CHALLENGES TO
FORMAL EDUCATION
Mr. Ravindra S. Netawate
Introduction :
Among the few innovation in the field education .Distance
education has a very high rank. It has been in existence for quite a
few decades. In India education has a great tradition our ancient
reformers have focused on education right from the beginning.
Mahatma Phule and savitri bai Phule started the education
For the girls, Maharshi dhondav Keshav Karve devoted his life
for the education in India, and the great reformer and scholar Dr.
Babasaheb Ambedkar planted the root of education in the deprived
class of the society. Education is the temple of knowledge where
man can develop mentally as well as socially. In India
The trend of formal education is developing since one hundred
and fifty years. Private organisations with governments blessings
running the various courses by charging unexpected fees and
donations. Due to this structure of education many students who
cant peruse their education. In remote and village area the
education facilities are not available; there is great desire among
the areas students, but due to
Financial problems, family problems and distance problems
these students cant continue their education.
146
The former Prime Minister Rajive Gandhi had visited the foreign
countries; there he saw the concept of distance education, A dynamic
prime Minister Introduced the Distance education concept in the
form of IGNOU. Before that in 1982 the first distance Education
University was established in Andhra Pradesh by
The name of Dr, B. R. Ambedkar Open University. Later on
several open Universities have been started in various states of
india such as Madurai Kamraj, Anna Malai, Mysore University
and In Maharashtra in 1988,
Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU)
started. The concept of this education is to bring those students in
the education streams who have discontinued their education in
their life and also the second purpose of this education is those
learner wish to have education he/she may take education at any
stage of the age.
The modern communication technology, its importance is being
realised by educationists and policy makers all over the world .
Although the distance education catching up very fast in all
countries, developed, developing, socialist and even in capitalist.
What is Distance Education?
There is no one meaning of distance education. In Australia it
is known as the External system, all campus study, correspondence
education,independent study , Home Study, private schools,
Femunterricht, educacion a distancia, In India three terms are used
to this kind of education as External appearance, Correspondence
education and distance education. In this connection it will useful
to know about the two terms of which is useful to tnterchangeably
and about there has been controversy. Poen learning and Distance
education , in open learning are innovations and reforms included
are changes that aim at improving such things as the participation
of learners , instructional design , method of transmitting
information and support to learners. A very comprehensive
document entitled Open learning system and problem in post
secondary education which brought by UNESCO Open learning
such system design to offer opportunities for past time study, for
learning at a distance and for innovations in the curriculum, they
147
148
consider the factors that created the concept and the social and the
technological imperatives that are creating diverse and extensive
application of distance education.
According to Bakhsish sing being an innovative system
distance education has always been open to all teaching methods
and media. It is a teaching learning system which combine s both
the teaching and learning activities. It imparts the education to the
students at a distance, from the above thought it is clear that distance
education has created a new insight among the new generation.
According to Gomathi Mani, the cheapest way to pass on
learning from one generation to another was by human contact till
printing was invented. Changes in technology and communication
provided new ways of living to many adults, if they had received
relevant education, the education system could not bear the double
demand for school and adult education and this scale of the demand
necessitated alternative methods of education to reach more people
economically. Distance education satisfies these demands.
Objective of The Study :
1) To understand the concept of distance education for
different learners.
2) To study the impact of distance education on rural and
urban learners.
3) To suggest reforms in the distance education system.
4) To make the study of curriculum of distance education.
Significance of The Study :
The above concept of distance education is very significant for
the government , one third amount the government is spending in
higher education and its infrastructure, though the education
ministry couldnt bring the quality education, this sort of education
can reduce the extravagant expenditure on higher education.
Many students can persue their education due to financial and
timing problem, within a reasonable cost student afford such type
of education. This education has no age bar , it can over come on
cultural barriers as well as social problems in the society.

From the above data it is clearly indicated that the flow of the
students of various disciplines moving very rapidly towards the
distance education overall in India. Though the figures of distance
educations are not totally overtake the formal education but it is the
future challenges to the regular educational institutions as well as
the recognised universities. The main cause of turning down the
students from formal education to the distance education is that the

E-LEARNING
IN
AS AN INNOVATIVE
TECHNIQUE
HIGHER EDUCATION
Dr. Sabita Padhi
Abstract :
The Indian educationsystem has witnessed a phenomenal
expansion both in terms of growth and diversity. The functioning
of a higher education institution is multidimensional. It finds itself
in a market oriented environment with internal and external
customers and has been motivated to emphasise its attention from
the quantitative expansion to the enhancement in quality and
excellence. In the recent time the higher education in India has
evolved a large number of innovative tools and techniques for the
improvement of quality. The present paper highlights the use and
importance of E-learning as an effective technique for quality
framework of higher education. It is an alternative to trdiditional
form of education and involves imparting education with the help
of technology. In short it helps disseminate knowledge to a large
number of students in one go and low cost as well .An
implementation of such technique can help the higher education to
grow and survive in the rapidly changing Indian scenario.

INTRODUCTION :
The demand for higher education is growing globally and there
is a vast scope in India as the country is poised to be a source of
quality manpower supplier to the rest of the world. India is seriously
short of institutions to provide effective higher education to the
millions of aspirants. While enrolment in higher education has
grown six times in the last 30 years, faculty strength has grown
only four times resulting the shortage of faculty and high studentteacher ratio and there by impacting the education quality. There is
also a huge demand supply gap in India as far as imparting higher
education is concerned. To bridge this gap and provide higher
education opportunity to more and more people different
methodologies are adopted. E learning is one such initiative which
can effectively bridge the gap.
Objectives: Objectives of the paper lie in emphasising on Elearning as an innovative and vital technique to bring about the
quality enhancement in higher education.
Methodology of the study: The whole research paper is based
on secondary sources like books, articles, journals and some
important reference from the Website.
ABOUT E-LEARNING :
E learning is an alternate to traditional form of education and
involves imparting education with the help of technology using
internet as a platform to disseminate the knowledge. There are many
approaches to E-learning. E-learning can be through live interaction
where students and teachers met each other on line at the same time
or it could be through recorded audio, videos lectures which can be
viewed by the student on their own time and at their own pace.Many
organizations are now using learning management solution for
imparting E-learning. A typical LMS consists of Audio, Video or
text based study materials, Blog for interaction (with co-students
andteachers)and an online test to evaluate the student along with
certification.
E-learning is an effective method to impart education to a large
number of students in one go. This is also low cost as compared to
154
155
since its inception in 2009 in providing connectivity, creating econtent and coming out with a low cost access device. The mission
has provided internet connection to 26000 + colleges, 2000
polytechnics and 419 universities. They have also made available
875 + courses online for the benefit of the students.
CONCLUSION :
E-learning is emerging as the future trend of learning in India
and would be the preferred mode of education in the coming days.
E-Learning has created new dimensions in education and bringing
many innovative practices into the field of teaching. Although
Government is taking necessary steps in this direction, private
participation is also necessary to reach out to all the Indians who
desire to pursue higher education. Education sector present huge
opportunities to all those who wants to provide quality education.
For a middle class household in India, spending on education comes
second only to their spending on food and groceries. Competition
among various participants will also lead to innovation and
experimentation of various methodologies to be adopted for
imparting E-learning.

Research Methodology :
The research design is based on the secondary data collected
from Google, EBSCO, and Shodhganga repository. Also websites of
the World Bank, OECD etc were referred. The research is exploratory
in nature.
Findings of Study :
Institutions engage in fostering quality teaching essentially for
the following reasons:
160
161
Sustained quality teaching policies require long-term, nonlinear efforts and thus call for a permanent institutional
commitment from the top-leadership of the institution.
162
Encouraging a quality teaching culture will consist in interlinking the various types and levels of support so that
collaboration and its likley impacts on the teaching and
learning are enhanced among leaders, teachers, students,
staff and other stakeholders.
163
164
Conclusion :
As a proactive measure, many institutions have implemented
specific teaching and learning strategies and have designed
mechanisms and instruments to improve the quality of education.
With diminishing resources and increasing competition, the
challenges may seem insurmountable, but nevertheless higher
education institutions can, and are, doing much to foster quality
teaching and improve student learning outcomes.

A VIABLE TEACHING METHOD IN LEGAL
EDUCATION: CASE STUDY
Dr. Sandhya P.Kalamdhad
ABSTRACT :
Today nobody will deny the importance of legal education in
any civilised society as well the fact of deterioration of legal
education in Indian society. Therefore it is a high time where we
must think about the rejuvenating of legal education in India.
However, it is not the only responsibility of government or regulatory
bodies but the collective responsibility of each and every participant
of legal system. This is how legal educational institutions and
professors also have responsibility to introduce some healthy
changes into existing legal education. Therefore the authors attempt
in this paper is to talk about the case study method, as one of the
very good technique to improve, give quality and learners friendly
education to law students. Author claims here that use of this
technique has unquestionable importance and even illustrates as
how it shall be used with few samples of problems in case study
method, developed and used by author in her career.
Keywords : Legal Education, Viable Teaching Method, Learning
Friendly Approach, Revitalization of Legal Education, Case Study.
Legal education in India was severely criticized at many time,
which compelled the various responsible bodies to take appropriate
steps for revitalization of legal education. Accordingly various steps
166
have been taken to upgrade the legal education, one of the result is
introduction of semester pattern in National as well as traditional
law colleges and universities. Generally speaking semester pattern
is rigorous and therefore students learn a lot in it. After five years
and three years rigorous training students get sufficient knowledge
of law and legal materials and this is how acquire ability to work in
existing legal system. But our society is full of new problems
demanding new solutions due to enormous changes in
technological and scientific development, as well as changes and
challenges in economic, social and political fields. Unfortunately
Indian lawyers are not capable enough to accept this accelerating
demands and somewhat existing legal education is to blame for
this.
The plain fact is that Indian legal education and especially its
formative first year, remains remarkably similar to the curriculum
invented a long ago. Invented, that is, not just before the internet,
but before the telephone. 1 Undoubtedly, there have been
modifications of structural designing of syllabus and so on, but
Indian legal system astonishingly stable and stick to traditional
methods of teaching law.
Recently, The Bar Council of India, who is responsible for
maintaining standard in legal education appointed a curriculum
Development committee (CDC) for overhauling changes into legal
education. The CDC provides guidelines and would also assist the
University Faculties with any other suggestion that they may be in
need of. The report of the committee says inter alia, The Faculty of
the University concerned has to ensure that: (a) the course design is
up-dated each time and keep the study-materials dynamic; (b)
develop appropriate methodology of teaching-learning based on
the object and objectives (variables) of the study; and (c) evaluate
the standard achieved by the learners without unduly pressurizing
only the memory level but emphasizing the skill of application of
law and in detailing the fact analysis with lawyers analytical
precision.2 Thus BCI insist upon incorporation of new teaching

THE RISE
OF
CREATIVE CLASS
ABSTRACT:
Presently, traditional educational approaches have resulted in
a mismatch between what is taught to the students and what the
industry needs. As such, many institutions are moving towards
problem-based learning as a solution to producing graduates who
are creative, can think critically and analytically, and are able to
solve problems. In todays era each and every person from child to
old aged enter in a rat race of competition and tries to prove his
identity. It is a need of time to create intellectual young generation
which will lead the country towards success. Rather than looking
at education simply as a means of achieving social upliftment, the
society must view education also as an engine of advancement
when there is a willingness to change, there is hope for progress in
any field. Creativity can be developed and innovation benefits both
students and teachers. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the
methods of teaching as well as multimedia teaching and to suggest
other useful teaching methods that can be attempted in imparting
knowledge to the students.
Keywords: Interactive, Multimedia learning environment,
Critical thinking exercise. Teamwork.
INTRODUCTION :
Education is an engine for the growth and progress of any
society. It not only imparts knowledge, skills and inculcates values,
173
LITERATURE REVIEW :
Barbara Clark, (2007) Meanwhile, teachers with professional
competency are able to adopt different teaching methods under
various circumstances, foster interaction with students within
creative teaching activities and cooperate with students to enrich
educational values. Bruner (2002) similarly asserts that humor is
the quality that makes something funny and amusing. He further
posited that humor from a learning perspective, has been the subject
of investigation, and recently sprang from the disciplines of
174
175
stays with them long after they have left the classroom. For this to
happen, classroom experience should be redefined and innovative
ideas that make teaching methods more effective should be
implemented.
1. Creative Teaching :Take the help of creative tools to
stimulate creativity. Include playful games or forms of visual
exercises that will excite the young minds and capture their interest.
This is a time tested method to identify young students creative
abilities and encourage creative contributions. Think of ways to
develop their creative ideas. Encourage different ideas, give them
freedom to explore
2. Real-World Learning : Link your lessons to real world
learning. Infusing real world experiences into your instructions
will make teaching moments fresh and enrich classroom learning.
Relating and demonstrating through real life situations, will make
the material easy to understand and easy to learn. It will spark their
interest and get the children excited and involved
3. Brainstorm :Make time for brainstorming sessions into your
classrooms. These sessions are a great way to get the creative juices
flowing. When you have multiple brains focusing on one single
idea, you are sure to get numerous ideas and will also involve
everyone into the discussion. These sessions will be a great platform
for students to voice their thoughts without having to worry about
right or wrong. Set some ground rules before you start.
4. Storyboard Teaching :Rudyard Kipling rightly said If
history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be
forgotten. Storyboarding is a great way to teach any subject which
requires step-by-step memorization or visualization highlyconceptual ideas. History teachers can use a storyboard to recreate
a famous event. Such visually stimulating activity will ensure that
even complex ideas are easily put across to students. You can also
encourage the use of storyboards as a form of communication and
let the students tell a story in pictures using their imagination.
5. Classes Outside the Classroom :Some lessons are best
learnt, when they are taught outside of the classroom. Organize
field trips that are relevant to the lessons or just simply take students
for a walk outside of the classroom.

ANALYSIS :
Teachers in the beginning stages of creating a differentiated
classroom must begin with the individual levels of their students,
accepting that children learn in different ways. This requires that
teachers seriously rethink their professional roles, becoming
diagnosticians and learning partners rather than dispensers of
knowledge. These teachers then continue to cultivate their own
knowledge and expertise. They hold universally high expectations
and provide the support that students need to achieve their
academicl goals. The supportive teacher can make all the difference
in creating a healthy environment where the individuality of each
student is appreciated, which is crucial to the success of a
differentiated classroom. Positive energy and humor are important.
The use of multimedia in education industry has been extensive, as
it has been effective in increasing productivity, where research has
shown that people remember 20% - what they hear, 30% - what
178
they read, 40% - what they say, 50% - what they write, 80% - what
they do, 100% - what we teach. Anyone who stops learning is old,
whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays
young. LEARNING NEVER ENDS
CONCLUSION :
Despite that the conventional methods of teaching have been
more or less similar around the world, the adaptation of teaching
strategies and styles to different social, economical and educational
contexts has been always an issue for consideration. It should be
noted however that, students background knowledge, academic
performance and learning abilities need to be taken into
consideration for the selection of the most suitable teaching method
and combination of teaching applications. In light of the above, it
could be argued that modern teaching methods, strategies and tools
should adopt and integrate Information and Communication
Technologies on the premise that the latter are adapted to each
student populations interests, abilities and ambitions. Individual
differences should always be taken into account while
studentteacher interaction needs to be encouraged in all cases. By
doing so, the learning process becomes more effective and interesting
while students will be able to broaden their knowledge, develop
key skills and competencies to remain competitive in the market
place as well as meet industry demands for well trained, creative
and productive employees.

QUALITY ENHANCEMENT IN AFFILIATED
COLLEGES: THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL AS
AN ACADEMIC LEADER
Dr. Shobha Menon
Abstract :
Higher education in India is going through a period of
unprecedented changes. There are changes in each and every aspect
from funding, leadership and management, quality assurance,
accountability, relationships with industry, international
collaboration, right up to the way research and teaching are done.
To be successful in todays changing environment, higher
education institutions need to continuously upgrade themselves
and in order to do this they need competent, effective academic
leaders. This paper discusses how crucial the role of the principal
is in transforming colleges into quality institutions which foster
academic excellence. It outlines the approach to be adopted by a
principal as well as the challenges that arise in the process of quality
enhancement. It draws attention to the need for training to be given
as they try to bridge the gap between academics and administration.
Key words: Academic leader, Higher education, Principal.
A business short on capital can borrow money, and one with a
poor location can move. But, a business short on leadership has little
chance for survival.
Warren Bennis, Leaders: The Strategies, For Taking Charge
192
193
2014). State universities are run and funded through their respective
state governments funding falls far short of their requirements. State
universities depend on affiliation fees paid by the colleges for their
survival. These fees, supplemented by state government funding,
are generally used to pay salaries and little else; most have poor
infrastructure and conduct little research, although pockets of
excellence exist. Many state universities spend much of their time
administering the exams and admissions to their affiliated colleges
leaving little time and resources for growth.
Considering the fact that there are a large number of students
enrolled in undergraduate courses in affiliated colleges in India it
follows that any change in the higher education scenario in India
can happen only when there are changes in this component. As the
paying power of the middle classes increase it is this segment which
will see a movement out of the country and if we need to stop this
exodus of students it is this area which must transform itself. In
years to come student populations will become more demanding
and expect better value for money, competition which has already
started to rear its head will increase and these undergraduate
affiliated colleges will have to transform themselves in all respects
to survive.
Organizational transformation is heavily influenced by its
leadership. A number of affiliated colleges are managed by
businessmen or educational trusts .These managements have
financial resources and business acumen but in many cases lack
the knowledge of the education sector. Hence they depend on heads
of institutions i.e. principals to lead the way to organizational
transformation. This means that the principal of an affiliated college
is actually the leader who can lead the college on the path of progress.
However in India there is little understanding and appreciation of
their role as leaders. In fact though there is considerable work on
areas like leadership and motivation not much of this focuses on
colleges as organizations.

A ROADMAP FOR QUALITY ENHANCEMENT
OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA
Dr. Swarnim Ghosh
ABSTRACT :
In a progressively knowledge-driven society, more and more
people seek education as the hope for a healthier future, the key to
good jobs and careers and to meaningful and fulfilling lives. It clears
the fact that Higher Education will nourish in the coming years. So
the requirement to provide advance education will become a more
strategic issue for the colleges and universities.
In order to develop the Higher Education, the role of TQM cannot
be underestimated. The study can be conducted by consulting
existing literature through historical, analytical and empirical
approaches. TQM in the educational institutions is the need of the
hour. Due to this, the authorities involved in the management of
Higher Education in India like UGC, AICTE, QCI, DEC, BCI have
made serious efforts to improve the quality education in India and
also to match Indian educational standards with the international
norms.
In this paper we discuss the importance of the effective
implementation of a Quality Assurance Strategy (QAS). The strategy
outlines where the Higher Education System intends to be in 201516 facing challenges of the time and realizing the available resources
using TQM; GQM and BSC technique. Effective implementation of

courses for students to get a holistic exposure. Introduce basic skillbased courses and enable flexibility/ multiple points to enter and
exit the HES. Introduce/ adopt the flipped classroom model to
improve learning in the class-room.
50% content delivered face to face + 50% content delivered
online.
2. Faculty : Ease recruitment norms and elaborate on the
benefits of teaching as a career option for them. Promote a tenure
based system in Indian higher education institutions, public and
private, to retain the best talent. Develop a strong performance
culture by introducing a rewards based system. Introduce faculty
development and exchange program.
3. Research : Adopt mentor model. Develop centers of
excellence in higher education institutions to conduct high quality
research activity, promote applied research.
4. Partnerships : Strengthen industry academic linkages and
tie ups between higher education institutions and skill based
training providers.
5. Infrastructure: Increase capacity of the higher education
system, targeting specific outcomes by setting up new institutions
and increasing intake of existing ones. Develop technology based
models such as virtual classrooms to widen access to high quality
teaching, like BITS virtual university, utilize existing infrastructure
and schemes to increase access and improve quality of education
imparted through NKN (national knowledge network) and
NMEICT (national mission on education through ICT).
6. Funding : Provide competitive access to government
research grants through a merit based system to incentivize and
support R&D activity.
7. Governance/ Leadership: Introduce reforms in the regulatory
framework governing higher education to reduce ambiguity and
promote self regulation. Promote disclosure of information by all
higher education institutions to make the system accountable and
transparent.

QUALITY ENHANCEMENT OF STUDENTS BY
ENSURING AND PROMOTING CLASS
PARTICIPATION AT THE UNDERGRADUATE
LEVEL
Ms. Vaishali Anuj Ghodeswar
Introduction :
The rapid changes and increased complexity of todays world
present new challenges and put new demands on our education
system. There has been generally a growing awareness of the
necessity to change and improve the preparation of students for
productive functioning in the continually changing and highly
demanding environment. In confronting this challenge it is
necessary to consider the complexity of the education system itself
and the multitude of problems that must be addressed. Clearly, no
simple, single uniform approach can be applied with the expectation
that significant improvements of the system will occur.
Indeed, any strategy for change must contend with the diverse
factors affecting the education system, the interactions of its parts,
and the intricate interdependencies within it and with its
environment.
As we consider these problems, we become increasingly
cognizant of the various possibilities of using concepts and methods
of the study ofcomplex systemsfor providing direction and

participate more for fellow students than they do for faculty. The
work done as a facilitator and summarizer should count as part of
the class participation grade.
Using brief questions to students in class :
Many faculty are asking students brief questions in class. These
questions are an excellent technique because they serve as a quick
check on student comprehension, to break up the lecture and to get
the students more actively involved with the material. However,
when you use these questions, please make sure the students
actually try to answer the question. You probably need to give the
students a little more time to think about the questions and not just
let the fastest students answer for everyone. Some students use this
time for questions just to finish their notes or to chat with their
neighbors.
Getting your students to work better in groups or teams :
If you require your students to work in groups or teams, you
probably want them all to work effectively. Yet you probably do not
have much time to devote to the topic of group performance. One
way for students to learn how to function better in small groups is
to give them a short article about group functioning and have them
write a short reflection on the article and how it relates to their
group functioning in your course.
Introducing and reinforcing active learning :
If you plan to use active learning in your course, introduce an
active learning exercise on the first day of class. Then use that
technique or similar ones a few times during the semester to help
the students master the technique and thus concentrate learning
the material from your course.
Motivating Students by appreciating and giving marks for
participation:
Students, if motivated become very enthusiastic, in the process
of learning they always need motivation and appreciation and these
two things can be well justified when they are given marks for
participation.

mere guides. teachers are not only deliver lectures but they act as
facilitators of learning than lectures.
They helps students think critically and learn by doing and act
as a resource while their students discover new concepts.
This type of classroom emphasis on students interest first and
focused on each students, their needs, abilities, grasping power,
learning style.
Computing devices : computers are become a necessary need of
modern education. As passage of time, it replacing the utilities of
pen and paper. They not only give students the means to conduct
online research and be master of technology skill, but they also give
opportunities to teachers to increase the knowledge about their
lessons .computing device greatly assist in teaching and learning
and make more engaging and effective.
Adaptive learning : adaptive learning refers to the learning ability
of students. Any classroom covers different type of students have
different type of learning capabilities which often challenge for
teachers that all of them will understand the concept. The modern
approach of adaptive learning gives students the freedom to learn
their own interesting concept and in the way they are most
comfortable with. There are various kind of software available for
adaptive learning that can use to enrich the learning of their students.
Invitational environment : invitational environment refers to a
favourable nature of classroom which should not be overcrowded.
Modern classroom should have cover by basic required material for
teaching such as , interactive whiteboards and LCD projectors.
Teachers can be allow to students to bring own devices such as,
laptops, tablets in the classroom for better personalized learning.
Teaching by technological equipments make classroom teaching
environment more effective and interesting, stimulates students
engagement, eases the work of teachers and makes it easy for
students to focus on learning.
Students understand and follow the rules and procedures : the
learning environment is carefully planned and well- organized.

MODERN STRATEGIES FOR QUALITY
ENHANCEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION: A
BLUEPRINT
Mr. Vinit Kumar, Mr. Krishna Kumar Yadav,
Ms. Neha Gupta
Abstract :
Education is a big service industry because it cultivates human
mind and makes them important and useful players in the economy
of a nation. India has a massive system of higher education. The
objective of the study is to explore the various factors which can be
useful in quality enhancement at higher education such as degree
colleges, universities, research institution etc. Scenario of higher
education suggests that it does not match with the global quality
standard. Colleges are becoming the factory of degree production.
They are providing only degree to the students not knowledge and
hence there is a critical need to provide the quality education at
higher level.

Introduction :
227
228
the year 201011, the government spent around Rs.15, 440 crores
which is about 85 per cent of the revised budget estimates for the
year ((Nandi, 2014). The State Government has already been
spending 20-30 per cent of its revenue budget on education. It could
not afford to spend more. We can say that over the period of time,
growth have been take place in higher education in terms of
institutions, enrolments etc. but it is not sufficient. Indian economy
is facing various challenges regarding higher education, which
need to overcome through appropriate policy formation and their
effective implementation (Walia, 2013). The overall scenario of
higher education in India does not match with the global quality
standards.

Thus the literature on role of a Teacher in curricular and Cocurricular Activities is justified with few mathematical Statistics
models which may be listed as follows.
The teacher should have to perform multi-dimensional
functions in organizing and executing extra-curricular activities. It
is also the institution, which play pivotal role in conducting cocurricular activities. It is the teacher or the institution who finally
should take the responsibility how activities should proceed further.
The teacher can be a planner, leader, innovator, director, organizer,
manager, recorder, advisor, motivator, communicator or coordinator.
While executing such activities, the teacher may face lots of
difficulties. But he/she should not get discourage and complete the
assignment after consultation with seniors and college
administrator.

MYTHOLOGIES TO MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE:

story about Karnas patience that once when tired Parshuram was
resting on his lap. Suddenly, then a wild insect stings Karna, he
endures all pain patiently and overlooks his bleeding else his
teachers peaceful slumber will be interrupted but Parshuram wakes
up feeling slightly damp owing to Karnas bleeding. Once again it
suggests that that all higher and good knowledge and intellectual
discourse from the teacher to the learner involves a lot of patience,
endurance and perseverance like Karna. And above all, Eklavyas
learning in solitude without any facilitator called teacher hints at
the idea of distance education which existed even during those
days. That however eager and hardworking a disciple may be,
learning and education in the real sense cannot take place without
the Teacher and if at all it does it cannot compete with the guru
and gurukul system in terms of excellence which is as practically
relevant with the todays Distance Education System as it was in
Eklavyas time that failed him.
Teacher was there, Teacher is still relevant and will continue to
live and exist. As long as Teaching is there, Teacher too will continue
to live. Teaching is an eternal entity like that of Langstan Hughess

QUALITY PERSPECTIVE OF HIGHER
EDUCATION IN INDIA
Ms. Sujata Kadli
Abstract :
Three main key determinants of quality in higher education are the
adequate availability of quality faculty, optimum and adequate
infrastructure and resources and availability of third party quality
assurance system. It has been observed that while majority of students in
higher education go to universities and colleges which come under the
state system, they lack adequate resources in terms of manpower and
infrastructure. Five issues quantity/quality, regulation, privatization,
staffing, and studying abroad form the core of this note on the state and
the prospects of higher education in India. This paper provides an
overview of the Higher Education in India. Students are the primary
customers in an educational setup and it is strongly supported by many
researchers. Students involve in different roles: they are the product of the
process, the internal customer for campus facilities, the laborers of the
learning process and the internal customer of the delivery of the course
material. The paper gives a overview on Higher Education statistics and
challenges that are being faced by Higher Education Institutions and finally
tries to bring out some suggestions to improve the Quality in Higher
Education.

Introduction:
Education both at lower level and higher level has been given a
supreme place of special importance because it can provide ideas
to shape the future of an individual, society and the country as a
whole. A fully educated man is considered to be an important real
human resource and hence, he is a tangible asset to the country. In
fact, the economic growth and development of a country fully
depends upon such real assets. Education at higher level is called
as Higher Education which is obviously for getting meaningful
careers and at the same time for moulding the young minds.
As Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam says Empowerment of Higher
Education is the critical need of the hour. The teachers should put
their own house in order, they must introduce the kind of
innovations that will transform educational institutions into
dynamic, creative, self reforming organizations to the development
needs of the country and best that is known about effective
education. The teachers have to relate the educational programs to
the changing goals of India and be agents of change. The need is to
strike a fine balance between academic and practical learning.
The Indian higher education system is one of the largest in the
world in terms of the number of colleges and universities. From 350
universities and 16,982 colleges in 2005-06, the numbers have gone
up to 713 universities, 36,739 colleges, and 11,343 diploma-level
institutions in 2013-14.
Twelfth Five Year Plan and Higher Education:
Higher education is perilous for developing a modern economy,
a just society and a vibrant polity. It equips young people with
skills relevant for the labor market and the opportunity for social
mobility. It provides people already in employment with skills to
negotiate rapidly evolving career opportunities. It prepares all to be
responsible citizens who value a democratic and pluralistic society.
Thus, the nation creates an intellectual storehouse of human capital
to meet the countrys needs and shapes its future. In order to realize
the potential of countrys demographic dividend it is must that
higher education combines access with affordability and

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITES TO
COMPLEMENT THE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM
. THE LLIM WAY
Dr. Arati D. Kale
Abstract :
Todays world is a competitive world full of undue anxiety and
overstress. B-School life is the most exciting, unforgettable and
transforming experience. It stands for dreams, building of character
& skills, and defining a persons life. Engagement with nonacademic pursuits is not only beneficial to student development,
but is known to be highly valued by employers. The general belief
that given the right tools, students will thrive in taking charge of
their own development, but to help them do this, the faculties need
to reassess their role as higher education providers. The faculties
should not just provide the opportunities for students to achieve
good academic results but actively promote the benefits of a wider
curriculum to students. B-School especially LLIM has invested
resources to offer a comprehensive range of co-curricular activities,
be it sports, societies, part-time work, entrepreneurial schemes or
volunteering. After all, B-School should be seen as a transformative
experience through which students can prepare themselves to
succeed in the many and varied roles they will undertake in future
life. The faculties should place the onus on them to shape and
develop their studies and interests which will assist their
development and showcase evidence of their skills and capabilities
to future employers.

academic work and develop social & civic sense. Without these
activities students would be mere book-worms.
Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we
should treat it with the same status..
