Enhancement and outcome achieved by the end of the academic year
Part B
The institution has well planned curriculum delivery and documentation. To meet
this goal each department in charge of the college distributes the different
theory and practical papers of the course amongst its faculty. The teachers are
assigned portions to teach, well in advance of the beginning of the academic
year. If there are vacancies then teachers are appointed on adhoc basis or as
guest lecturers. The smooth curriculum delivery is planned by making a time
table for its taking scheduled/regular lecture classes, tutorials In case some
portions are newly introduced, then Faculty Development Programme or Refresher
Courses are organised in that particular area or relevant themes. These are
taught by the experts/ resource persons with expertise on the subject from
various institutions . The parent departments of the University also hold
meetings to discuss any bottlenecks in teaching and guidelines on the pedagogy
to teach the courses are worked out by teachers and university professors
together.We take group presentations on relevant topics/themes, group
discussions, revision classes, hold class tests and mid-semester exams to
enable students to perform well in their semester exams as well as to get a
good grounding in both theoretical and empirical knowledge that is essential to
the subject. If new practical’s have to be introduced to the faculty, then
workshops are held within the college or the university to provide training to
the faculty. The technical staff is also trained in departments where technical
assistance is required. They are trained within the college or sent to the
university departments for the training. Each department maintains the
practical records of practical courses taught. The teacher in charge of each
department ensures that all the courses are completed in a semester.

efficient fans and ACs.
7.1.7 – Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly (at least five)
The college has acquired a plastic vending machine. The machine crushes the
used plastic bisleri bottles. The crushed material is sent to organisation
which makes clothes and bags with this material.
The college housekeeping decreases its energy usage by replacing fans ( 50)
with energy efficient fans. The incandescent bulbs and tube-lights were
replaced with LED bulb and tube-lights. 20 campus street lights are illuminated
with solar energy.
The recycling unit introduced pots made from 4-5 inch bamboos. These are more
economical to use and they supported plant growth better than ceramic ware. The
functioning of the recycling activity for fallen leaves and paper improved.
Several paintings were created on the recycled paper and sold as gifts for
various campus functions.
The eco-club and the NSS unit organised their swachhtha week. Students actively
participated in cleanliness of the college and places around the college. A
drive was organised to collect waste material from faculty and students. A unit
was created to segregate the various waste materials collected from the drive
1. Recycling Activity DRC : College aims to become zero discharge campus. Thus
it has set up a recycling unit on campus which houses a paper recycling
machines and leave shredder machine. This machines help to make recycled paper
and leave shredder machine helps to make the manure. The unit is also growing
medicinal plants using the leaf manure. Functioning of recycling unit is
improving day by day with manufacture of tons of manure which is used in house
or sold outside, preparation ceramic pots with medicinal/antipollution plants,
making of white and brown recycled paper, use of these papers for paintings.
Ceramic pots and paintings are being used as gifts for our guests in the
college. Students can do their internship here and can earn NSS hours by
participating in its functioning. Ever since its inception in 2016 this unit
has been used to process shredded leaves into manure , recycle paper and
cartons, provide potted plants for gifting and also provide folders, paintings
, carry bags made from recycled paper. Students and Community workshops are
held regularly. Two workers are getting employment in this unit. One is working
on manure making and the other is working on paper recycling. Two Ph.D.
students are also using it as lab to study the quality of leaf manure made and
working on the optimisation of leaf manure making, They are also trying to
improve its bioremediation power. The application of this leaf manure in the
organic farming is being tested vis a vis the other organic manures. Over the
five years i.e. 2015 -2020 the unit has been made and extended to meet the
various needs. It has been calculated that within 5 years we have achieved the
following Amount of Paper Recycled Off Campus: 16000kg Amount of Paper Recycled
on Campus: 120kg Amount of Fallen leaves Recycled : 29000Kg Amount of manure
Made: 1000kg No of Recycled Papers Made: 1280 No of Folders made on campus: 123
No of Carry Bags made on Campus: 65 No of Paintings made on campus:45 No of
Potted Plants sold: 1000 No of Bamboo Planters sold: 32 No of Papers
Calendered: 30 No of Students trained: 518 No of Insecticides Made: 231 No of
community Workshops organised for kitchen waste management and urban Farming: 8
No of Personnels trained in these workshops: 25. This unit has exemplary model
for many colleges. It has helped to decrease the carbon footprint and increase
the handprint on and off campus. The manure made can fertilize several hectare
of barren land and help in bioremediation. The carry bags usage will reduce the
plastic bag usage and decrease the plastic pollution. The student trainings
help to teach the young students at a young age and may encourage to take up
entrepreneurship in this area. DRC Green Campus - A Best Practice: Daulat Ram
College, while being an abode of higher learning, is among the few pristine
spots in the Delhi University campus. The core building of the College is
surrounded by verdant and lush greens, carefully cultivated, curated and
preserved by the College team of students, staff and faculty, with the Botany
department taking the lead. Greens inside of DRC campus make it a micro
biodiversity park and a lung for the area surrounding the campus. The outer
perimeter of the campus has a tree and a bush line, shielding the inside of the
college from the noise, dust, vehicular pollutants and hot winds in extreme
summer. The tall branched and leafy trees provide for shade, hold the soil,
keep the ground water table stable and replenished and provide a resting place
for avian residents and migrants alike. Green Awareness and Student Involvement
2. Green Campus of DRC The created and maintained Green Campus of DRC, besides
its aesthetic advantage, is geared to make the yearly cohort of students become
aware of the necessity to maintain ecological balance to avoid and stop
catastrophic situations unfolding in the form of climate change and health
threatening pollution. There is intense student involvement to foster
curiosity, awareness, interest and concern for ecosystem conservation. Centred
on this theme, a number of participative curricular and extracurricular
activities are undertaken throughout the year like field demonstration trips,
Tree Plantation drives and Nature/Eco-walks. To enhance knowledge and learn
from shared experience of external experts, seminars, workshops, webinars,
conferences and lecture series are organised from time to time. Tree Census
Botanical Garden Herbal/Medicinal Park As a census and conservation exercise a
full Tree Map of the campus has been drawn and recorded. The data is updated
year after year to identify sustainability gaps. The mapping activity with tree
labelling is performed by the students of the College under faculty
supervision, exposing them to live symbiotic existence of all flora and the
related lower fauna. This tree mapping exercise was duly documented and
published with illustrations and detailed morphology and usage in “Liana” – the
magazine of the Botanical Society of the college. The pride of place in the DRC
Green Campus is the Botanical garden, an integral part of teaching and learning
of Botany. It is an open air and live laboratory and a resource for a large
number of mandatory experiments conducted as part of the course of study. It
has taken years for the garden to reach the present state as a permanent
resource. The College Greens and the Botanical Garden are used as a live
laboratory in the teaching of morphology, anatomy, cytology, physiology,
genetics, ecology, embryology, reproductive biology. Recently, we have added
many important medicinal plants (herbal garden) to Botanical Garden. Students
are exposed to the fact that the source of many essential preventive,
curative/therapeutic and cosmetic medicines are plants and why it is important
to conserve them for future generations. Waste Management, Vermi Composting,
Green Manuring, Biofertiliser seeding Waste management within the college
campus is core to our aim of reducing the Carbon Footprint. Apart from
segregation, sorting and disposal, a biodegradable Waste Recycling unit is
operational in the college for many years. A mini-factory to produce organic
manure from waste by vermicomposting unit has been set up in the college
campus. The biodegradable waste is collected and made to decompose under
appropriate heat and moisture conditions. The vermi-composted manure is used as
a natural soil nutrient in the College and is sold to outsiders at a nominal
charge, thus recovering the operational costs. The exhibited efficacy of the
manure so produced gives the students a clear understanding of the superiority
and sustainability advantage of Bio-fertilisers/organic farming in agriculture
and food/horticulture production. Awards and External Recognition The
ornamental plants grown at the Botany garden have won many prizes at the
University Flower show year after year. A specially curated and maintained
lawn/garden surrounding the College Hostel has been awarded the “best lawn”
prize by the University almost every year, and we are proud of it. A planned
carbon neutral future Among the activities planned in the coming months towards
a ‘Greener Campus’, is Rain Water Harvesting by creating micro bunds and pit
creation. It is also proposed to use solar energy for hot water supply and for
electricity generation for Non-Peak base level requirements. By regulating its
usage at all levels, it is endeavoured that DRC Campus will be a Plastic Free
campus this year Green Audit of all our activities is now planned. Faculty has
been assigned to sensitise the students in this matter. We are constantly
working to reduce our Carbon Footprint and endeavouring to make DRC a carbon
neutral campus.
