1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)

Institutional Strength
The student diversity and the number over a short span of time has increased considerably as quality
and student friendly approach has led to attract students from all over the country and foreign countries
like Sri Lanka and Bhutan
Selfless determination to provide quality education at affordable cost to all sections of the society and
the Adoption program by the institution which has adopted 578 number of students to provide education
and excellent sports and cultural facilities, free of cost.
Possibility for expanding the role of cultural ambassador for the state of Karnataka by further
strengthening the Nudisiri ghataka programmes and getting recognized in the country for its unique
ability.
Being located in a rural area, the institution is equipped with state of the art infrastructure facilities,
including ICT, Language Lab, full-fledged labs, Business English Course of Cambridge (BEC), state of
the art multi-media studio and automated library system.
Robust network with the community and the reputation it has built over the years for which the
community is willing to network with the institution.
Excellent placement record and placement drives and the connectivity that the institution has got
because of logistics, locational advantages and social accreditation.
We have made the internship compulsory for all UG and PG students, because of which there has been a
healthy academia – industry collaboration. As a matter of fact, it all contributed in students better
performance in placement drives.
Institutional Weakness
Our weakness is mainly systemic in nature than scarcity of potential.
Due to University affiliation we are bound to external academic decisions, because of that, we are
unable to decide over our academic concerns like setting up the curriculum, course fee and the
beginning of new courses.
Financial constrains that we already have, is further inflated by our limitation in attracting any research
Page 3/116 28-02-2019 11:47:33

grants from the statutory and/or private fund providers.
Institutional Opportunity
Formulate MoUs with international agencies and institutions in addition to the MoUs that the institution
already has for further quality enhancement and excellence.
Due to its excellence in the field of sports; the institution can establish its own Sports Academy for
further thrust.
Embrace ICT to the extent of 100% in teaching, learning and evaluation.
Exploring the opportunity to exploit Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for both the faculty and
students.
Tap the potential offered by the VET courses and establish a full scale Vocational Training Center
(VTC).
Develop the Research and Development (R&D) work and establish the facilities with the magnanimous
approach and the attitude of the management.
Introduce new courses like B.Sc. in Fashion Designing and B.Sc. Animation.
Develop a dedicated incubation center and well provided ED Cell with the help of Alva’s Institute of
Engineering and Technology, and post graduate Department of Business Administration.
Initiate systems to get maximum energy required for the campus from the renewable energy sources.
Strengthen the systems of E-governance to reach all the stake holders.
Institutional Challenge
Compete with well established and age old institutions in the undivided Dakshina Kannada District,
which has many number of autonomous Colleges and Deemed to be Universities.
Offering more market relevant courses has become near impossible due to the affiliation mode, hence
autonomous status has become inevitable.
Teacher retention and employee retention in a self-financed mode, as counterparts offer attractive pay
scales due to the grant in aid system.
Sustaining traditional degree courses.
Balancing between educational excellence and social utility services despite being completely a self
financed institution.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:

• Solid waste management
• Liquid waste management
• E-waste management
Response:
Solid waste management:
Alva’s College has clear policy for solid waste management in the campus. We have outsourced V2G
Agencies to maintain cleanliness inside campus. Sufficient numbers of dustbins are provided at specific
points in the campus for the effective waste management. All the dustbins in our college are given labels
like ‘dry-waste’, ‘wet-waste’. Wrappers, sachets and other dry wastes are collected by the cleaning staff
from time to time. Waste is collected and dumped in to dump yard.
Liquid waste management:
With the increase of the students, there is a sharp increase in water demand. Alternative water resources are
therefore imperative to meet with the ever increasing demand. With the increase of water usage, the
volume of sewage also increases and safe disposal of sewage has become a cause of concern. The
appropriate reuse of treated sewage is the obvious and eminent solution. If wastewater reuse is exercised
properly, the benefits that can be reaped are great, and will far outweigh any associated costs. To achieve
this, the college has a which is effectively functioning.
· The product name of Sewage Water Treatment Plant is Thermax (material)
· It is installed by Flowline Company.
· Brand name of STP is FAB (Fludised Arobic Bioreactor).
· The amount of water recycled by STP is 5 (five) lakh litres per day.
· It treats 25,000 liters per hour.
· The recycled water is used to water the plants.
Primary treatment consists of temporarily holding the sewage in a quiescent basin where heavy solids can
settle to the bottom while oil, grease and lighter solids float to the surface. The settled and floating
materials are removed and the remaining liquid may be discharged. The treated water is then used to water
plants. The maintenance of STP is negligible; it is looked after by a staff appointed by a management.
E- Waste management:
Page 96/116 28-02-2019 11:48:49

By and large, the e-waste produced in the college campus is negligible. Still, e-waste such as discarded
computers, CD, DVD, Printers, office electronic equipments are handed over to the mechanical department
of Alva’s Engineering College since 2013. In 2016 Alva’s Engineering College introduced Innovation Lab
where they use them for the development of projects. There is an agreement between Alva’s Engineering
College and Alva’s College for handling E waste in a useful manner. From 2019 onwards an MoU is made
with Cerebra Integrated Technologies Ltd, Bangalore for collecting E-Waste.
7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus
Response:
In Alva’s college the water from the rooftop is collected by connecting pipelines, the water from the
degree college and the other buildings is connected directly into the harvesting tank built around the bore.
The dimension of the harvesting tank is 10 feet depth and 8 feet wide. The collected water is then supplied
to the college and canteen. The water is also used for gardening purpose.
The bottom layer consists of three beds. The first layer from the bottom is of sand bed (2 feet) which acts
as filter to remove soil particles. The remaining two layer is made up of stone aggregate of 40mm , 20mm
size filled to an height of 2 feet each, to remove coarse contaminants and the waste materials which flows
with water.
The roof area is of 35,000 m2and the water from this area is directed to the bore well where it is collected
and used for gardening purpose. This helps in reconditioning of the bore well also which helps to retain
water condition in summer season.
The estimated cost for the rain water harvesting set up is as shown in table 1 with breakup for each
material. The total cost incurred for the setup is eighty one thousand three hundred and sixty five. Total
rainwater collected based on building area 33,75,000 liter. According to the calculation 4,50,000 liters of
water collected for 1000 square feet per year.
Ingu gundi (rainwater harvesting pit) are the ways to increase ground water level. These are constructed
every year to increase the level of ground water by collecting and letting rain water to get into the ground.
These are constructed every year in the palace ground which is located behind the college. This is a regular
activity for NSS unit of Alva’s Degree College. Every year Ingu gundi are reconstructed before the rainy
season to increase the water absorption.

4.To foster and present rural sports talents to the national and international arena.
3. The Context
Given the context that higher education is a rare resource and centres of higher education are not
accessible for various marginalised sects of society, inclusion of marginalised and exceptional learners in
higher education has been national goal. Alva’s Education Foundation having its base in the rural area and
has been aspiring for catering to the educational needs of economically poor and socially backward groups
found through its experience research that academically talented exceptional sports and cultural talents and
various challenged sections including‘divyangjans’have been systematically excluded from the higher
education. In this context to subscribe its value systems and needs of the above mentioned section Alva’s
Education Foundation has evolved a policy in common and specific Alva’s college for adoption of
students, we should provide them free education, food and stay.
4. The Practice
Alva’s College has a clear policy of adopting students (sponsorship) from various sects of society
and a pre-determined criterion described specifically in the policy.
The process of adoption is a transparent process which begins with inviting application and scrutiny
by the experts for each sub sects or area.

5. CONCLUSION
Additional Information :
Alva's College is a center for instilling aesthetic abilities and cultural identity among students. The
institution has been instrumental in organizing mega programs to introduce students to Kannada
literature and Indian Classical and folk art forms.
Alva’s Nudisiri is a Kannada literary conference held for 3 days in the campus. Famous Kannada
laureates like U.R. Anantha Murthy, Nisar Ahmed, Chandrashekara Kambara, Pateel Puttappa, Vaidehi,
Baraguru Ramachandrappa, Prof.Vivek Rai, Hampana, Siddalingayya, Venkata Subbayya, Nagathi
Halli Chandrashekar, Mallika Ghanti etc., were the leaders of the conference which is held continuously
for the last 15 years. Our students have become members for deliberation during 3 days and perform
various cultural art forms. While the students of Journalism get opportunities to report the event in
various National media, they also get hands on training in organizing such big events, through various
committees.
In the last 25 years Alva's Virasat -a national level cultural festival is being organised, wherein artists
of National repute such as Zakir Hussain, Hariprasad Chowrasia, Jesudas, Sonal Mansingh etc., have
been awarded with Virasat award. And they have performed to create great sense of cultural identity
among the students. The program is held every year for 5 days and all the students of the college
participate as audience, accompanists to artists and perform various dance forms as well.
Alva's Celebrations: National unity, secularism and social cohesiveness is promoted among students
by organizing Ifthar, Teacher's Day, Deepavali, Mahaveer Jayanthi, Christmas, Sri Lankan Day, North
Eastern Day, Traditional Day etc., and programs of national integration like Independence Day and
Republic Day are celebrated with complete participation of students which is an exemplary program in
the whole country.
Internship and Entrepreneurship Programs are designed in such a way that, all the students of UG
and PG get minimum 4 months and 2 months working experience in various institutions.
Community contribution: Alva's College is known for its community contribution from management,
students and teachers. We contribute to help various families with chronic illness, provide support for
children in the government school with respect to their academic progression, construct check dams,
conduct health camps, etc.
Concluding Remarks :
The institution has achieved an exponential growth in developing a unique model of education within a short
span of time by integrating sports, culture and academics. We have been continuously expanding the
educational scope by introducing new subjects and improving the enrolment thereby providing quality
education at affordable cost. Alva's college has evolved a multiple strategic journey wherein, we have
developed systems of student support through which the best academic performance in the University is
possible. The unique model that the institution has developed has rendered itself into a niche institution across
the state and the country. Best infrastructure facilities are provided along with the opportunity for access
through the adoption scheme, where in students are adopted and free education is provided. Being an
institution affiliated to Mangalore University it is recognized as the best institution by University and public.
Social approval, social contribution of our college with respect to direct resource creation and indirect support
system for community is worth mentioning. Our efforts of training and placement have lead to effective
industry-academia integration. Our teaching faculties have shown the highest number of retention and
Page 115/116 28-02-2019 11:48:59

continuous progression with respect to their academic abilities. Sports talents of our college have attracted the
attention of the nation as a whole because of its excellence and performance both at the national and state level.
The college has contributed immensely to ecological sustenance and water harvesting in 5 Panchayaths around
the college. The management has evolved a participatory model which has lead to participation of all the
stakeholders in various academic and co-academic programs of the college. Financial provisions for all the
activities have been provided by the management even though the college has no financial support system. The
college is upgrading itself to have more autonomy with respect to curriculum, sustainability with respect to
financial resources and expansion of students' base. It has a clear vision of continuing its support system for
student adoption, sports and cultural activities along with ensuring complete opportunity for placement and
higher education other than a good number of students who should be taking up self
entrepreneurship initiatives.
