district of Maharashtra .Most of the population are below poverty line and 
belongs to tribal and muslim minority with educational , economically 
backward  and superstitious group. They lack the knowledge of 
importance of cleanliness and education. Majority of the students coming 
to College are ignorant of their Rights and Duties as a citizen of India. 
Hence it was need of the day to make the students aware of their rights and 
duties towards the community first and then develop the community with 
the help of these students. The villages and the towns surrounding the  

 
 
 Self-Study Report - Affiliated College                                        Page 117 
 
 
institution lacks proper hygienic conditions in day to day life. Most of the 
families involved in Agricultural farming and are poorly literate or 
illiterate. The economic condition is also mostly poor. Hence, the idea to 
develop the community and make them aware of their living condition 
took place since the establishment of the institution. So that the 
surrounding community can understand the need of the hour and develop 
themselves and their surroundings.

THE PRACTICE: 
 
Keeping in view the surrounding condition of the community 
where the institute is situated, Management decided to establish a unit 
comprising of senior teachers and students who could spend time and 
physical energy for the betterment of the society. Hence National 
Service Scheme (NSS) was the option selected. The objectives of the 
NSS  volunteers are as under: 
1.
 
To understand the community in which they work. 
2.
 
To understand themselves in relation to their community 
3.
 
Identify the needs and problems of the community and involve them in 
problem solving process. 
4.
 
Develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility. 
5.
 
Utilize their knowledge in finding practical solution to individual and 
community problem. 
 
A NSS unit with the permission of the University was 
established in the year 1993 with 50 students as the volunteers of the 
first NSS Unit of the institute. A Programme  Officer to co-ordinate the 
activities of the NSS was nominated and an Advisory Committee of 
seven to eight Senior Faculty members was constituted to chalk out the  
implement the activities. 
 The Programme Officers with the consent of the Principal 
register the students by issuing a notice at the beginning of the 
academic year. The registered students are trained and oriented as 
volunteers of the NSS Unit. The volunteers includes both male & 
female students. Then the Program me officer holds the meeting with 
these volunteers and the Advisory Committee to chalk out yearly 
activities to be completed within a year. The activities are based on the 
guidance provided by the University. The regular activities of NSS unit 
adopted every year are:

THE CONTEXT: 
 
The area where the College is situated is surrounded by economical and 
educationally backward population. They mostly spend their day doing 
agricultural farming or small scale businesses. In the year 1989 when the 
College was established the percentage of people gaining higher education 
was almost zero especially in Muslim minority girls. Hence the Founder 
Chairman Hon’ble Mr. Abdul Azeem recognized the need of counseling to the 
student’s parents and eminent personalities of the town specially Muslim 
minority and surrounding villages for gaining Higher Education .since then the 
practice of surveying the town and surrounding area was carried out .The 
survey by the College teachers at the beginning of every Academic year 
motivate students who left their studies or not interested in further education. 
The teachers meet personally to the parents and guardian of the students and 
expose them to the benefits of higher education. After the enrollment to the 
degree course most of the students suffer from a variety of problems as they 
mostly are from backward community and from educationally backward areas. 
To reduce the economical burden of the studies, the College provides different 
types of financial support such as Govt. of India scholarship for backward 
classes, Post Metric Scholarship for Minority classes and Financial Aid to the 
Economically Backward Class other then reserved category. Counseling and 
financial support is essential as the students approaching the College are from 
the first generation and the families are recent access to the educational

facilities. The places where they are coming from do not have the latest media 
facilities and even news paper access in some areas. 
 
The College has provision to provide benefits of College Library to its 
Alumni for their Research activities.  
 
4.
 
THE PRACTICE: 
 
Various Committees on College level are constituted for this purpose. The 
institute chalks out complete frame work of surveys to be done in the 
beginning of the year by distributing three to four villages to a group of two to 
four teachers. The teachers survey the distributed villages before the 
admission process and actual commencement of teaching. The teachers find 
out the problems and their solutions by meeting the students and their parents. 
The analysis of these teachers is discussed in the staff meeting and IQAC 
meetings. Then proper action and solutions are suggested for the problems 
come out of the surveys. The institute also has a Career Guidance and 
Extension activity Committee. The Committee arranges lectures and 
workshops to provide information on professional opportunities available to 
students through modern approach. Students, Senior Faculty and Guest 
Faculty are actively involved in the practice. Students are encouraged to learn 
the languages and presentation skills and also debating skills and they are 
involved in group discussions and elocution competitions outside the institute. 
Social clubs such as Red Ribbon Club (for Aids Awareness club) and Tourism 
Club established to involve students in extension activities, creating awareness 
of their social responsibilities. 
 
When a Research Scholar who was also an Alumni of the College 
applies to use the College Library Books for His/Her further Studies, the 
Principal accepts the application and necessary Books and other useful study 
material provided to the Research Scholar that will be helpful for the 
completion of the Research. 
 
5.
 
EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: 
 
The counseling activities enabled many students to get into the higher 
education. Providing financial support through various government schemes 
minimized the financial constraints for gaining education. 
 
The students get awareness of various fields of education, new 
profession and various entrance examinations. The hurdle of rural background 
crossed to some extent due to the College Guidance Cell. 
As a result number of students from the institute opted for P.G. courses in 
various subjects and achieved prominent position in the field of education as 
Asst. Prof. Guidance in the field of Sports and physical activities placed a 
number of students in the major positions of Police Departments. Department 
of Sports & Physical Education plays a prominent role in the placement of 
students after their education. A number of students guided for Military and  

 
 
 Self-Study Report - Affiliated College                                        Page 122 
 
 
Army selection are now holding prominent places in the Indian Army. The 
activities through Sports Dept. for career guidance are also commendable. 
 
Many students are participating actively in the competitions held in the 
College and outside also. The students are also provided the guidance by 
inviting experts in the subjects from outside the College to deliver the lectures 
to mould the students exposed to the expertise in their fields of interest. Some 
literary activities such as wall Magazine designing, Exhibition of posters 
created by students on a given topic, establishment of literary Association in 
the College etc to create importance of the language to the students. 
 
Establishment of Red Ribbon Club created awareness about Aids and 
other such deadly diseases. The students are provided opportunities to listen to 
the health experts and precautions to be maintain to avoid deadly diseases. 
These Health Awareness activities are carried out through this club which is 
constituted of the Senior Faculties and students together. 
Tourism Club comprising of an adviser from MTDC and Teachers and 
Students. The area Khuldabad is having many Sufi Saints Shrines and the 
World Heritage site of ‘ Ellora’  is only 3 kilometers away from Khuldabad. 
After visiting nearby places it has come to the light that awareness among 
local residences should be created to protect and maintain clean atmosphere 
around these sites of historical and religious importance .Hence the 
development of tourism club took place. Students from the College promote 
local residents in maintaining and improving facilities around the places of 
tourists’ importance. Hence the activities created a wonderful impact on the 
students.  The obstacles of rural educational and economical backwardness 
especially in the Muslim minority section is now nearly nullified with the 
above mentioned Counseling, Guidance’s and Extension activities practiced. 
 
Alumni of the College such as Dr.Qamrunnisa, Miss.Shabana 
Begum,Dr.Siddiqui Afroza Begum, Dr.Baig Farheen are some of the 
beneficiaries of the Library scheme. 
 
6.
 
 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES 
REQUIRED: 
 
Counseling through survey to the residences and door to door is an hectic and 
time consuming activity. The area is surrounded by hills and some of the 
localities of the students belongs to the tribal region where there is no proper 
transportation system is available. The roads are also in poor condition hence 
Teachers approaching there, faces many problems. Convincing parents of the 
Muslim girls for higher education takes extra efforts. The students turn up was 
not encouraging in the beginning of the academic year, but constant 
persuasion in the classes and displaying information on the notice board 
increases the participation of the students addressing  them in the class rooms 
encouraged and oriented them to participate in the classes.
