7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format provided in the Manual.

 

BEST PRACTICE – 1

  1. Title of the Practice

Amalgamation of Personality and Behavioral Development through Grooming Classes

 

  1. Objectives of the Practice

The motto of the College is ‘To Grow with Education and Innovation’. LPCPS offers grooming classes at free of cost to its students as part of their curriculum. Through grooming classes the college aims to prepare the children as well- behaved ones and responsible citizens. The main objectives of grooming classes are:

  1. To introduce students to business etiquette and communication.
  2. To familiarize students with dress and grooming in a formal set up.
  3. To explain the importance and the use of courtesy.
  4. To introduce e-mail etiquette, telephone manners and overall conduct at the place of work.
  5. Exhibit seriousness towards career goals.

 

  1. The Context

Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies has a continuous policy of inclusivity and plurality. It is the vision of the college to empower its students through holistic and innovative education system. Hence, the college reaches out to its students as it is challenging for them to cope with the feelings and clarify beliefs and expectations, when they enter a corporate environment. This is reflected in their low selections in corporates at under- graduate level throughout the city.

 

The Management, in consultation with The Governing Body, decided that the best way to solve the problem is to provide grooming classes within the college premises. As a result several MoU were signed between College and outside parties.

 

The result of this experiment was tangible and students overcame their fear of facing interviews and qualifying competitive exams.

 

  1. The Practice

Grooming classes are provided by LPCPS with an aim to benefit each and every student. Apart from their academic curriculum college also provides personality development classes for grooming the confidence to dress up, look presentable and confident every day while hitting their workplace. The best part of a grooming class is real-time experience, where students get a good platform to learn and implement the skills learnt. Senior students become role models for fresher’s which ultimately helps to maintain college culture of sharing the work of others.

 

Grooming classes are divided in various fields which include courses related to student’s interest and necessary for their future job related interviews. Following is the detail of grooming classes:

  1. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

There is no insurmountable problem faced by the college in following this practice.

  • It is true that the college needs greater financial support to reach out to more students.  As a result, at the outset limited number of grooming classes were operational.
  • Teachers had to coax students to offer and participate in grooming classes.
  • Additional value added courses are required to be added to bridge the gap between academics and industry.
  • The Covid-19 lockdown not only pushed ahead with the academic calendar but also was one of the biggest obstacles to run online grooming classes.
  • Under the shadow of Covid-19, the lives of millions of children temporarily shrunk to just their homes and their screens. As result, college found it difficult to navigate students with this new reality.

 

BEST PRACTICE – 2

  1. Title of the Practice

An Exceptional Activity of Conducting Major Research Projects (MRPs) by the College with the help of Faculty Members as Principal Investigator (PI)/ Co- PI in various departments.

 

  1. Objectives of the Practice

Although, the Universities has a network of science and technology laboratories for research and development, but Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies make every effort to promote teaching and research. To promote excellence in research in higher education the college supports research programmes of the college and college teachers in various disciplines. The MRPs are purely based upon the practical exposure, innovation and their application that could contribute positively to the society having long lasting impact toward the human race.

  1. The Context

Research, by its nature, is a critical challenging task requires in depth knowledge of the subject matter, planning, care, and hard work. The common challenges/difficulties during the research proposals and projects are as follows:

  1. difficulty in deciding the topic for research,
  2. lack of good knowledge of the methodology,
  3. inability of finding modern,
  4. specialized and related references,
  5. lack of interest in research, and
  6. lack of understanding of the subject matter, lack of time, and research guiding.

 

At LPCPS the faculty members are fully research oriented along with teaching caliber. Overall, four MRPs were conducted by the two departments, viz., department of computer science and department of science jointly.

  1. The Practice

Major Research Project practice divide research aim into several parts and address each part separately:

  • What needs to be studied?
  • How research target will be achieved?

The intention of conducting the Major Research Projects was to add knowledge in the area, to devise and test a solution to an existing problem and to address the existing gap in the knowledge. The benefits of research projects are highly useful for the society in general and developing countries like India in particular. The following Four MRPs were funded by Lucknow Public Educational Society, A- Block, Rajaji Puram, Lucknow under the R&D Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

  1. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Research by its nature is a critical challenging task requires in depth knowledge of the subject matter, planning, care, and hard work. From the Principal Investigator (PI) point of view, attempts to explore the challenges that are faced when they are writing proposals and research projects at the early stages. Some key points have been provided below:

  • Lack of knowledge of research methodology.
  • Facing obstacles in formatting research proposals and projects.
  • Shortage of funds required for good research.
  • Shortage of time.

 

In spite of above challenges Lucknow Public Educational Society (LPES), ‘A’ Block, Rajajipuram, Lucknow provided not only financial assistance under a research grant, but also motivated its faculty members to conduct research.  The best part of the above activities is to provide the research platform to embark on the journey of innovations which will consequently help in availing the funds from the Government.

STUDENT FOCUSED APPROACH (NURTURING TALENT)

Students succeed when what they’re learning matters to them. In student-centered learning, students’ interest drives education. Student-centered learning gives students the opportunity to decide two things: what material they learn and how they learn it. We at Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies have a complete focus on student grooming and development “here individual talents are nurtured”. We have developed an institutional approach that has learner’s centric focus.

Practices that depict above approach of the college are as follows:
