4.3.8. Provide details on the provision made in the annual budget for update,
deployment and maintenance of the computers in College?

Since many teachers have research projects of their own, they purchase the required
IT services and computers on their own and this is not reflected in the annual budget
of College. College allocation in the Annual Budget for update, deployment and
maintenance of the computers is presented in the Table 4.18 below.

4.4. MAINTENANCE OF CAMPUS FACILITIES

4.4.1. Does College have an Estate Office/designated officer for overseeing
maintenance of buildings, class-rooms and laboratories? If yes, mention a few
campus specific initiatives undertaken to improve the physical ambience.

 College has a full-time Estate Officer to oversee the maintenance of buildings, class
rooms and laboratories. He has a maintenance manager and a team of 40 staff to
assist him.
 Feedback was collected from students on infrastructural services and 861 students
had participated in the survey online. 92.28% of students who responded said that
the campus was kept adequately clean. The matters of immediate concern are
attended to, and response is being organized for more involved issues. This
collection of feedback has been an initiative of the IQAC and has been helpful in
improving the services provided.
 College has taken the initiative to educate students in keeping the campus clean
specially after conducting events on campus.
 College is conscious of the large waste it generates. Waste is segregated into wet
and dry waste, and public spaces within campus have different bins for the same.
The NGO initiative Hasiru Dala collects the waste for recycling.
 Full-time Lab Attenders attend to the maintenance of laboratories.
 Wherever possible, a maintenance contract is signed with the provider of the
equipment after the warranty period is over. This ensures uninterrupted working of
the equipment such as water-coolers, photocopiers and batteries.
 Voltage stabilizers and UPS systems have been installed to protect the expensive
equipment College has purchased and installed.
 College has a back-up generator to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Investments
have been made in a solar power system which saves on electricity bills and all bills
are paid on time to provide uninterrupted services.
