The Coordinator’s meet held at Ram Narayan Ruia College, Mumbai, from 5 to 7 August, 2013was attended by Dr Kamal Sarma and Dr Dipak Konwar. Dr Sarma presented the progress of the star college scheme of the college and his presentation about the progress satisfied the members of the meet. The recommendations of the meeting are- 1. Lab manual, virtual labs and other teaching resources generated by the colleges should be shared among colleges and a system should be formulated by DBT to make them available online. 2. The use of kits for undergraduate practical teaching should be avoided. 3. Faculty members who attend a workshop or seminar should take follow up action by deliberating the proceedings and sharing the information. 4. At least 60% of recurring grant should be spent for consumables for UG labs and no equipment should be purchased through recurring grant. 5. Stipend/ studentship should not be paid to students from DBT Star college scheme grant and only reimbursement should be allowed for the expenditure incurred in carrying out projects. 6. Equipment purchased under the Star College Scheme should be translated into experiments and utilized for UG student’s projects or practicals. 7. The projects given to students should have scientific components like data collection, analysis and interpretation. Yüklə 2,1 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
