The college stands by the principle that educational empowerment and other important societal
benefits should be allocated based on an individual‟s strength and weaknesses and not on
immediate traits, stereotypes, or other irrelevant characteristics. To address these issues the
college has 3 full–fledged societies that work throughout the year to achieve these goals. These
are -
The Women Development Cell (WDC): SVC SHAKTI
The Equal Opportunity cell (EOC): HUM SAB EK HAIN
The Social Service Society: PARIVARTAN (meaning - Change)
The collaborative initiative of all the three societies aspires to introduce the students, staff,
karamcharis, to the diversity and oneness of all people and to fulfill the constitutional mandate of
a secular society/nation. Students are taught how communal, racial and gender conflict can be
reduced through understanding and empathy.
Along with SVC-Shakti, Parivartan have launched the „Each One Teach One Program‟, involves
holding regular classes/ coaching in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies etc. in the college
lawns. Most of the students staying in hostel volunteer themselves for this noble cause.The
WDCs community outreach program takes into account the pressing reality of gender
discrimination, bias and unequal status of women in all walks of life and thus makes significant
efforts to reach out to the community of women and girls outside the privileged environs of the
college as well as addresses the problems of girls and other women workers within the college.
“SriVidya” : Apart from these societies, “SriVidya” – an initiative of the College to adopt a
rural school under DBT Star College Status has been formed. In this regard, an Open House for
Govt.Senior Secondary School, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat District was coordinated wherein
Secondary students from the school visited various laboratories in the Science Departments in
September 2016.
Under the “SriVidya”, a two day workshop on Advanced Science and Mathematics was
organized. 3 Senior Secondary School Students -Vivekananda Vidya Vihar, MARAL, Madhya
Pradesh, Graphite School, Mandideep, Madhya Pradesh; Vivekananda Kendra Vidhyalay,
Environment issues are the major concerns of the present society. The present problems result
largely from ignorance and different trend of continued misuse of the environment. However the
situation can be altered by creating awareness among people of how man‟s activities effect the
environment for good or ill. SVC is aware that, it is our social responsibility to take into account
environmental issues as we try to maintain a balance between economic development and
environmental preservation. The College as a whole has worked to increase awareness of
environmental issues within employees and society. The great need of today is knowledgeable
citizens who are conscious of their surrounding and willing to take necessary, social, economic
and political steps to assure a better environment for the citizens of future.
The College has taken two major initiatives with regard to addressing this issue this year
Sri Venkateswara College well recognizes the relevance of addressing key environmental issues
such as Pollution, Green Technology, sustainability in benefiting the society at large. Under the
DBT Star Status and DST , the Green School Initiative ( GSI) intended to engage and involve
school students in activities that made learning about environment more fun and creative. We
have caught them young and have created awareness around 4000 students of 13 public and
government schools in different parts of Delhi about the adverse effect of pollution. Our
sensitization program was student friendly and was designed in a way that it was a joyful
learning experience. Interactive sessions with visuals, engaging movie by Mr. Mike Pandey,
Quiz competition, Poster making creating Best out of Waste generated students interests as well
as sensitized them towards these pertinent issues. The program has garnered a lot of appreciation
from students, teachers as well as parents. It has been an amazing journey spanning across five
months with keen and enthusiastic participation from different schools. The journey culminated
in a meaningful end on 6th of January wherein Quiz winners of all the participating schools
competed in the Inter School Quiz Competition. Students also displayed their photographic skills
and an exhibition of all their photographs capturing the beauty and plight of nature in
“Rendevouz with Nature”. The young Innovative environmentalist Award aimed at promoting
7.6 Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT
Analysis)
Strengths
The college is situated in Dhaula Kuan adjacent to the South Campus of the University of
Delhi. With the metro service under construction, it is considered to be well connected
and easily accessible to students from different parts of New Delhi.
SVC boasts of a green campus that is environment sensitive. From time to time it has
undertaken several green projects like assessing carbon-footprints, vermicomposting, rain
water harvesting etc.
The campus has hostel facilities for both men and women candidates. Most hostel mates
comment that life spent at the SVC hostels is a fun-filled learning experience that
prepares them for the bigger events of life.
The college lobby has an aesthetic appeal with the unique art form of Cheryl Paintings
adorning the lobby walls. In doing so the college is trying to revive an age-old art form
that is on the verge of extinction.
SVC owes the distinction of being a cosmopolitan college that comprises of students and
faculty from different regions of the country. One of its primary ideals has been the
recognition of the significance of diversity in all its endeavors academic and non-
academic.
The college is a coeducational college and is gender sensitive. Like most of its ideals, it
believes in an integrated and not a segregated approach to education. It promotes a yin-
yang philosophy that believes in the complementarity among opposite sexes.
SVC is multi-disciplinary in its orientation. It encourages the coexistence of the sciences,
the humanities, the liberal arts and commerce. Each of these streams is flourishing and
attracts a large number of students from all over the country.
Academic environment at SVC is a lively and vibrant one. It doesn‟t confine itself to
traditional methods of teaching where teaching used to be a monologue between the
teacher and the student. On the contrary the college is constantly innovating with new
teaching strategies like class room discussions, demonstrations, live plays etc.
SVC represents a total way of life. Its music, dance and debating societies have achieved
widespread acclaim in New Delhi and its adjoining areas. In fact its cultural festival
NEXUS stands out as an event par excellence.
In keeping with its multi-disciplinary approach, the college encourages talks and
seminars that are interdisciplinary in nature. We have had a series of talks that attempt
cross- disciplinary comparisons so that faculty and the students have a broader perception
of issues of significance.
The college believes in transcending the hierarchical boundaries between teacher and
student. It by means of several programs facilitates smooth interaction among the two.
Weaknesses
Opportunities
SVC has a vibrant alumni association that needs to be tapped. Interaction with the alumni
should be enhanced in order to ensure both financial as well as social support.
Social networks should also be established with industry as well as governmental
agencies to facilitate better integration among all sectors. Students as well as faculty will
then stand to benefit from such associations.
Consultancy services and other such facilities should be used to generate more funds for
the college which could then be used for the furtherance of the developmental activities
of the college.
The most glaring challenge that the college faces is how to strike an effective balance
between teaching and research. While the college recognizes that undergraduate course
curriculum is a teaching intensive one, the model of education now being followed wants
an equally vigorous research environment.
Integrating teaching and research is a herculean task which the college is confronting
today.
To develop infrastructural facilities is a challenge that the college is trying to
accommodate to the best of its ability – given the fact that negotiating with bureaucratic
hurdles in this regard is no mean task.
