Institutions

not
always
perpetuate

shown
to

Suggestions
: |
-
The
strength
of
the
Boys
Hostel
may
be
increased
to
meet
the
demand
in
future
from
within
and
outside
the
country.
-
A
Girl’s
Hostel
could
be
started
to
accommodate
students
from
outside
Mumbai
and
other
states
who
would
like
to
pursue
studies
at
St.
Xavier’s.
-
The
departments
may
be
asked
to
hold
essential
reference
books
and
texts
for
the
quick
reference
of
the
students.
-
The
management
should
make
attempts
to
seek
Autonomous
status
for
the
College
to
implement
new
ideas
and
courses.
-
The
university
may
be
approached
to
permit
the
college
to
start
innovative
and
self-supporting
courses
that
may
be
designed
by
the
college.
-
The
college
should
subscribe
to
more
no.
of
good
journals
as
they
have
M.Sc.
and
Doctoral
Programmes.
-
The
College
could
approach
the
University
of
Mumbai
to
provide
e-journals
which
are
subscribed
under
Inflibnet/Infonet
to
the
college.
-
The
College
may
try
to
expand
interaction
with
the
industry
and
explore
the
possibility
of
collaboration
with
other
institutions
such
as
the
Tata
Institute
of
Social
Sciences
(TISS),
Tata
Institute
of
Fundamental
Research
(TIFR),
IIT,
Mumbai,
which
will
help
the
students
to
be
exposed
to
the
current
trends.
-
The
College
may
initiate
action
to
have
N.C.C.
and
N.S.S.
Units.
-
The
management
should
motivate
the
faculty
to
pursue
doctoral
degrees,
as
the
college
has
doctoral
programmes.
The
Peer
Team
strongly
feels
that
the
Government
and
the
Parent
University
should
relax
the
academic
hold
on
pre-eminent
institutions
for
their
all
round
growth.
