ANNEXURE I
Best Practices II
1. Title of the Practice: Knowledge Exchange Programme (KEP)
2. Goal:
“Knowledge sans Boundaries” is the Motto of KEP. This is an institutional innovative
initiative which aims at the dissemination of ‘exclusive’ knowledge of a discipline to other
disciplines. The programme is conducted with a view to create awareness among students, of the
developments, discoveries and inventions in a particular subject in a purely scholarly interactive
way. It also provides opportunities for advanced learners to exhibit their prowess in the area
under discussion. Further, students are given a platform to improve their presentation and
interaction skills.
3. The Context:
Knowledge is created and revealed in all disciplines across the world. It is inevitable that
a conscientious student should be aware of new happenings and initiatives in all branches of
learning. Too much specialization has caused barriers to knowledge of great relevance across
disciplines. Students have become confined in their disciplines of specialization. They turn a
cold shoulder to other fields of knowledge, which in turn makes them unresponsive to what
happens beyond their area of study. Students of science disciplines never take interest in the
developments in social sciences, and vice versa. Unfortunately this widens the gap between the
two cultures (Science and Humanities), as C. P. Snow has enunciated in his Rede lecture. If
knowledge of public interest is imparted and discussed in an open forum by students who
specialize in that particular area, especially for those who are not within the fold of that
discipline, it will be immensely beneficial. KEPs are always presented after the regular class
hours.
4. The Practice:
A development/discovery/invention in the area of a particular discipline, which may find
a place in the timeline of milestones or important happenings of that particular field of
knowledge, is identified as the topic for KEP.
The topic, date and venue of the KEP are announced and published in the notice board
beforehand. A group of students under the guidance of a teacher prepare the presentation. Care
is taken to make the presentation scholarly and at the same time palatable to all students. The
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 47
presentation is often done using PowerPoint with video and audio clips. Time for topic delivery
is limited to half an hour in order to provide more time for interactions.
When the central government declared Demonetisation, the students of the Department of
Economics presented a KEP for the students of Science Disciplines. It was a vibrant programme
in which teachers of other disciplines and non-teaching staff also participated. The presentation
was an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of Demonetisation, its impact on Indian economy,
comparison with similar experiments in economy etc. This helped gain a true knowledge on the
topic, especially at a time when lots of misconceptions were being spread by the social media
and channel discussions.
5. Evidence of Success:
All the KEPs have been of great interest to the students. Often they come forward to
suggest topics on which they needed to be enlightened. Some of the KEPs conducted as per the
suggestions of the students are ‘Budget 2016’ by the Dept. of Commerce and ‘Skill India’ by the
Dept. of Economics.
Students who made the presentation were highly enthusiastic to prove their mettle in
front of their peers. They enjoyed the accolades they received.
The success of KEPs lies in their immediate relevance and public interest. Students
highly appreciate them as they are not in the frame work of rigid pedagogical seminars or invited
lectures. KEPs are flexible and accommodate topics and beneficiaries across disciplines.
KEPs are student centred and make use of modern gadgets for presentation. Students
make animated videos and video calls for on- the-spot responses from experts.
KEPs bring the campus together as students, teachers and non-teaching staff participate
in them. Moreover, students get opportunity to develop their presentation skills. Active Student
participation in the interactions is also commendable.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
The only problem identified in the practice is the constraints of time between the
identification of the topic and presentation of the same. There will not be much time for
preparation. The immediacy of the topics demands hectic preparation on the part of the students.
As the topics presented under KEP are of immediate relevance, they are to be served hot from
the oven before they become cold and stale.
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 48
Only human resource and infrastructure are needed to implement and institutionalise the
practice.
7. Notes
KEP is highly accommodative as a Best Practice as it requires no financial assistance.
It caters to the whole campus community. It can be a real boost to the advanced students.

BEST PRACTICE - II
1.Title of the Practice: Sree Narayana Study Centre
2. Goal: Education is Attainment of Knowledge based on moral values. Sree Narayana Study
Centre works on this principle. It was Sree Narayana Guru’s vision on education as the most
potent instrument of socio-economic progress, political development, and moral and intellectual
awakening that led to the founding of this institution. The goal of Sree Narayana Study Centre is
to impart value education to the students along with their syllabi-oriented education.
3. The Context:
Knowledge is power. But without moral values knowledge becomes just information.
Imbibing the spirit of the vedic statement sa vidya ya vimuchyate, Guru raised the motto “Seek
Freedom and Enlightenment through Education”. It enshrines academic excellence, development
of life skills, and character formation based on scientific temper and human values. The Sree
Narayana Study Centre aims at achieving the lofty ideals of Sree Narayana Guru who professed
the wellbeing of all through education, without ant discrimination on the basis if caste, creed, or
religion.
4. The Practice:
Students often need to be reminded of the great acharyas who have been instrumental in
the development of India. The explosion in the field of technology has made them evade the
principles like tolerance, empathy, fellow feeling, caring and sharing. They place utilitarianism
above everything else. The centre tries to teach them that education which does not mould
character is absolutely worthless.
Sree Narayana Study Centre conducts a series of classes on the teachings of Sree Narayana
Guru and other acharyas like him. Students of our institution are bound to know the hard work
and commitment that led to the founding of their institution.
A booklet on the contributions of Sree Narayana Guru in the modernisation of Kerala Society
is distributed to all freshers. A documentary on the Renaissance leaders in Kerala is also
exhibited for them.
5. Evidence of Success:
Students of this age are generally not aware of the great leaders and their contributions in the
development of our great nation. They take the progress and the facilities it brought in, for
Sree Narayana College Nattika Page 50
granted. However they are ready to be led in the right direction. They show great enthusiasm in
learning about the great sages and leaders of our nation.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
The only problem identified in the practice is financial. In order to arrange lectures by
veterans in the field who have come to the institution from faraway places is expensive. Apart
from this, only human resource and infrastructure are needed to implement and institutionalise
the practice.
7. Notes
This practice is the need of the hour as it gives the students a sense of responsibility.
There is no point in bringing out thousands of graduates and postgraduates without any moral
and humanitarian values. Moral values cater to the wellness of the whole society.
