Evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the institution: It is essential to thoroughly evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. Taking into consideration both positive and negative aspects will allow for a well-rounded analysis of the institution’s performance and effectiveness. By examining its strengths, we determine the institution’s ability to effectively deliver its services and achieve its goals. On the other hand, identifying the weaknesses, will shed light on areas that require improvement in order to enhance the institution’s overall performance and impact.
Implementation of Teachers diary and Course plan: This comprehensive process will ensure an effective curriculum delivery. From the creation of the diary, which outlined daily schedules and objectives, to the development of the course plan, which detailed the essential topics and learning outcomes, every detail was meticulously considered. Additionally, the implementation process required collaboration and coordination among the teaching staff to ensure seamless execution. Through this meticulous approach, the teacher’s diary and course plan will play a crucial role in guiding the educational journey of students, providing structure and clarity to the learning experience.
Research projects should be promoted: It is crucial to actively encourage the promotion of research projects. By ensuring that research projects receive adequate attention and support, will foster a dynamic and progressive intellectual environment.

As a result, this proactive approach not only empowers students to actively engage in nature conservation efforts, but also nurtures a sense of environmental stewardship that can extend beyond their academic years.
Registration and organisation of Alumni Association & NSS : It is decided that an Alumni Association should be formed in order to encourage better communication with the former students so as to encourage them to participate in college development.
