Inaugural Session
The seminar was started on 14-10-2022 at 10.00 am. On the first day of the inaugural session,
the theme of the seminar was presented by Dr. Jitendra Vaswani (Convener of this Webinar
and IQAC Coordinator of the University). He briefed about the seminar and thanked NAAC
for sponsoring the seminar. He welcomed the guests and eminent speakers and all the
participants to the seminar.
Ms. Vandana Chundawat, Coordinator of the Seminar presented the introduction of the
Keynote Speaker Shri Praveer Saxena, Ministry of Education, Government of India and
Chief Guest Prof. Shyam Sundar Pattnaik, Director, NITTTR, Chandigarh. She also
briefed about the university and introduced the profile of the speakers. She welcomed all the
participants and subject experts and all higher officials of the university. She also proposed
the brief of NAAC and its functionaries.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Alok Misra, explained the university's commitment to the field of
academics and research, and said that we are constantly increasing research and innovations
based on problem-solving in rural areas where the university is situated. . He also said that
this is a need of the hour to think that now the teaching-learning process is not limited to tri-
polar only i.e. Teachers-students-parents but it is tetra-polar too i.e. Teachers-students-parents
and society.
Dr. Ashok Kumar Gadiya (The Chancellor of Mewar University) addressed the participants of
the seminar. He focused on the new education policy and the preparations of the university
according to the standards of NAAC. He also presented the vision and mission of Mewar
University and informed that the purpose of the establishment of Mewar University was the
aim of promoting education and research in rural areas. Mewar University with its MOTO
“Reach to Unreached” is committed to providing high-quality education and research at low
cost in rural areas despite difficult conditions. He further said that Mewar University is not
focusing its attention only on the rural areas of Rajasthan but is trying its best to provide
education to the poor students of different states across the country. Even the poor students
from abroad are getting the benefit of the efforts of Mewar University.
suggested that rather than giving the funds to the individual departments we have to create the
centre of excellence. The centre of excellence must work for multidisciplinary research.
Training of the faculty members is very important so that students and society get benefitted.
The right way of finding the solution for all the problems is to go to funding agencies for
implementing the research and ideas. He mentioned that the Honourable Prime Minister of
India has inaugurated the rural solar village scheme. For a city like Chandigarh, it is
mandatory that whoever is having his house must have a solar power plant. But due to a lack
of maintenance and cleaning for these panels the efficiency is reduced. He suggested that we
can create a service industry in the field of maintenance. He spoke about the purpose of higher
education as opening up of minds In the end, he concluded his speech with a valuable remark
that ideas and implementation of Ideas are crucial, not money.

about National Education Policy 2020. He stated that the new National Education Policy has
taken initiative related to promoting academic research for creating fresh knowledge which
will increase the gross enrollment ratio by bringing students from rural areas. He said that
bringing corporate funding and industry support for research. Since government has limited
funds for establishing research centres and also research in our country. Only the government
departments can't fulfil the funding needs of a large number of innovative ideas from Brilliant
Academicians across the country. The private and corporate sectors should take such types of
funding initiatives for the sake of society also. He further added that designing a new
curriculum to be aligned with new knowledge including arts, culture, environmental studies,
etc. The syllabus should be aligned with the new knowledge systems. He also said that
whatever good things we are doing we should share with other institutions and what other
institutions are doing, we should be a stakeholder in this effort.
Shri Praveer Saxena also briefed about the initiatives taken by NEP-2020 for elaborating
research culture in HEI. The emphasis that NEP has made on academic research is increasing
fresh knowledge, bringing students from rural areas situated in HEI and also an emphasis on
corporate funding and industry support for research.

centres in rural areas. He further added that teachers should be highly paid people. Teaching
should be one of the highest-paid professions in the country. He focused advantages and
disadvantages of virtual classes also. He suggested that India should create remote learning
centres. He also advised using technology for enhancing education in HEIs. This will ensure
that the local student population should increase and in turn also ensure that per capita income
should also increase. He suggested that we have to develop an international standard of
teaching. The Indian teachers are very versatile but they are limited in opportunities. There
must be a regularity framework for innovation. The government must formulate a framework
to allow innovations and new models where the focus can be shifted to need-based learning.

related to NAAC. He discussed the best practice that an HEI can adopt, such as financial
literacy planning, promotion of entrepreneurship culture etc among the youth. He suggested
running programmes for career progression. financial literacy subject to be taught, and a
centre of excellence can do things in a little different way. Education for women should be
promoted. He gave an example of Banasathali University which is a university for women,
not a women’s university. It is a women-centric university in terms of its choice of
programmes and generally the way it perceives education always keeping in mind the special
needs and strengths of women. Are women fit for higher education? This point was also

Technical Session 2
Chairperson – Dr. Chetali Agrawal, Director- Research, Mewar University
Prof. Ravikant,
Professor of Chemistry, Dean Research, Manglayathan
University
Prof. (Dr.) Ravi Kant, for the past 22 years, has been
involved in research, innovations and consultancy in the
area of organic synthesis, bioorganometallies, material
science, matellopharmaceutical chemistry and intellectual
property protection management along with teaching. The

In technical session 2, Professor Ravikant said that research and innovation in higher
education institutions play very important roles in the modern education system and the
economic development of the country. He also emphasised the role of NEP in the holistic
development of students and the optimal learning environment. New Education Policy 2020
plans to have a Choice Based Credit System, Multi-disciplinary, vocational courses and
multiple entries and multiple exits in the education system. Outcome-based research and
internationalization of the Indian education system are also very important. Industry academic
collaboration will help promote research in our country. Only a PhD cell is not enough for
research and development activities, active Research and Development cell, an IPR cell and a
good research policy are required for the promotion of research. The consultancy has to be
promoted by higher education institutions. Seed money and incentives to the faculty members
should be provided to promote research in the institutes. He also suggested that an
institutional innovation council should be constituted. Higher education institutes should offer
programmes in regional languages.
Technical Session 3
Chairperson – Prof. R. Raja, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Technology
Prof. M. D. Jahagirdar
Former Vice Principal, Maulana Azad College,
Aurangabad
Prof. M. D. Jahagirdar had been closely associated with
NAAC as an assessor member coordinator and had visited
around 125 colleges and universities. He has been an
advisor to 6 universities and had been a member of state-
level IQAC.
Prof. M. D. Jahagirdar said that education plays important
role in the development of the country and as a result, there
must be some robust education system by censoring the
quantity and quality. NAAC is accessing and monitoring higher education institutions
including universities, deemed to be universities and private universities. He also mentioned
that even after having very good institutes like IITs, IIMs, and IISc, India does not have a
world-class university till 2020. There should be strategic planning for the promotion of
quality research in the institution. Quality will come in the research when the faculty
members are appointed in the institution. If an institution wants to maintain its quality, the
faculty members should be up to the mark. He explained that IQAC is not a department, after
the first NAAC accreditation, IQAC works as the catalyst. The main function of the IQAC is
planning, guiding and monitoring the activities and has to take the initiatives pertaining to the
academics of the institution and ensures the initiatives are completed. He suggested that
involvement is needed for everybody to reach the unreached. We have to work on ICT-
enabled teaching-learning, personality development and skill development of the students,
teaching and non-teaching staff. Keeping in view the preparations for NAAC evaluation, he
said that seed money should also be arranged to promote research in higher educational
institutions. He further said that IQAC should encourage the faculty members to perform
good research. IQAC coordinator should contact every department for accessing the research
activities. NEP-2020 will totally change the scenario of the education system and NAAC
manual also. Every university has to implement the new education policy. Seed money and
rewards must be provided by the management to promote research activities in the university.

Dr Sharma shared his presentation and enlighten the participants about the role of digital
learning towards higher education in rural areas. He explained the education system in India,
challenges in the higher education system in India, Digital learning platforms, MOOCs
platforms in India, virtual labs, and digital libraries. Higher education in India governed by
UGC has a three-tier structure comprising the university, college and course. Challenges in
Higher Education in India like lack of guidance, financial issues, shortage of faculty, gender
inequality etc. e-learning is the new way of learning which attracts students. The higher
education institutes approving credit transfers from SWAYAM courses can demand the
issued certificate to verify the grade obtained. He also discussed open learning platforms for
enhancing the knowledge of students in higher education. Different regulatory bodies such as
the Medical Council of India (MCI), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and
the Bar Council of India (BCI), among others, manage different professional courses. He
further said that Informal education includes pre-primary, coaching classes, vocational
education and multi-media/technology-based educational courses aiding as a supplement or
substitute to formal education.
He elaborated on the Challenges in Higher Education in India and said that while most of
these areas need transformative changes, which will take time, technology can help drive it
faster. With the increased use of smartphones in rural areas, e-learning platforms can be
accessed easily. This new way of learning can be made attractive to children. Courses from
the best educators' e-libraries for research material and teachers will all be available in an
instant.

Challenges and Innovative Measures for Enhancement of Education and Research in HEIs of Rural Areas
universities and their management. Prof. Laturkar focused on the role of HEIs in excelling in
research in the institutes. She said that HEIs should establish a research centre. She said that
management should treat their researchers as a parent so that they can feel free to perform
wonderful research with their utmost dedication. She further added that the development of
innovative fundamental research is crucial. Management should play a key role in designing,
implementing and maintenance of the university programmes, all the services should be in
operation and even using the measurement system the overall performance is increasing or
not. As a private university, it can concentrate on two types of research one is Academic
research and other is sponsored research. Institutional visibility and reputation should always
reflect in the output of the research. The management should seriously think about the
research policy. The newer technologies and the newer areas should be explored and should
be included in the policy documents. The management has to be the leader, the management
has to monitor, what are the concerned benchmarks. There should be a committee that
observes all the processes through proper channels. If the work has to be patented, when and
by whom, how it should be commercialized, and by whom it should be commercialized.
Whatever is best is done in the research that should be promoted. Prof. Laturkar also
explained why we are lacking in the research. She also suggested for reward system and
appreciation of faculty members. She also explained the all parameter of research and
management for a good education system.

He has around 33 years of experience which includes
administrative experience in Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Muran Limited, Tata Cancer
Hospital, Mumbai etc.
Prof. Venkat VPRP focused on NAAC Accreditation & its importance for the academics in
the university. He suggested that every university should encourage faculty members to
perform research, publication, and patents. He further added that most private universities are
facing the problem of a lower rate of admissions. So they should also focus on NAAC or
NIRF Ranking. It directly affects admission positively. NAAC has seven criteria. In the seven
criteria, everybody has to take care of all the fields and each field is having distinctiveness.
He also said if we want to go to any of the improvements then we have to route through
IQAC which is the highest body for a university, which is headed by Vice-Chancellor. IQAC
should have 5-years plan, the proper schedule must be there and implementation of the
schedule must be done to achieve our goals. The suggestions given by IQAC should be
properly completed and documents should be maintained. For AQAR, improvements have to
be done in all sectors. The most important part is research for promoting the university and
getting a good ranking for getting good admissions. Hence a good number of students has to
attract. For each organization, one has to go through the NAAC manual seriously and
maintain the data according to that. The institutions that are good NAAC grades may receive
government grants easily.

in the presentation. The NAAC parameter of research and development were also presented.
Technical Session 5
Chairperson – Dr. Esar Ahmad, Head, Department of Civil Engineering
general documentation process. She suggested that the NAAC evaluation should be done by
the internal university monitoring committee first. When we start preparing for NAAC, we
are aiming at sustained quality initiatives, in the academic environment. The university
website should be the point of contact for anyone. This website should be interactive,
functional, dynamic and informative. Data needs to be accurate and complete in all respects in
the templates provided. POs, PSOs and COs which are integrated into the assessment process
should be widely publicized through the website and other documents. The annual Quality
Assurance Report (AQAR) which is very important should be updated on the website.
Whatever document we want to refer, that should be lying in this domain. We have to take
care of all the parameters. IT and Computer facilities are provided and are adequate for all
staff and students. It should be available to all students and staff. All the photos and pictures
which we are taking should be geotagged. All the academic documents such as Board of
Studies/Academic Council/Discipline committee/Examination related/Departmental
committees should be on the website and also the composition, functionality, regularity,
minutes, audited statements of the accounts, annual reports of the institute should be available
on the website. Action taken report should also be mentioned on the website. Documented
feedback received from the stakeholders such as Industries, Parents, Alumni, etc. should also
be projected on the Institution’s website.
