Maintaining facilities

The College receives a Maintenance Grant from the government for maintaining various physical facilities. These facilities are owned by the management, the Shree Nootan Kelvani Mandal. The management charges a token rent from the college for using the physical infrastructure, which is covered under the Maintenance grant.

 

The College prepares a list of required infrastructural changes and maintenance needs in the beginning of the year. For every activity a budget is allocated and utilized. The College does not directly appoint staff for routine repairs and maintenance. The management runs an office that has an  in-house estate department which has appointed all the necessary staff  to take care of routine infrastructural repairs and maintenance related  to electrification, plumbing and carpentry. Whenever a need arises at the College, a Request Note is raised by the College,  the requirement is communicated to the management and is promptly addressed.

Large infrastructural renovations and major  repairs/changes in the facilities are taken care by the management, which awards contracts to agencies after scrutinizing minimum three quotations. For routine maintenance of computers, printers, projectors, close circuit cameras, water purifiers, water coolers, air-conditioners, EPABX lines and gardens; for maintaining cleanliness in the campus and in the building; and for ensuring round-the-clock security, contracts have been given to outside agencies by the management. The charges/expenses are appropriately charged to various institutions using the common facilities.

Regular Class IV employees of the college maintain cleanliness in the college offices.

The library books are purchased under UGC/ government grants. Some library expenses are financed from the library fee collected from the students.
