GOVERNANCE AND ACADEMIC & ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT

Philosophy of Governance

The founders of the Deccan education Society were in many ways the founders of Indian democracy. The principle of local autonomy and central direction is the pivot of management in the institutions run by the Society.
The management structure of the institute is as under, in ascending order of the level of management:

1.Faculty Committee

This committee consists of all the full time faculty members including the Director, the Librarian and representative of the administrative staff. The chairmanship of the meeting is held by rotation by one of the members and the secretary is usually the junior most faculty member. The chairmanship is rotated every academic year. The main responsibilities of this committee are:

  1. To handle the day-to-day issues of academic and student interface matters.
  2. To approve new academic initiatives of the institute.
  3. To propose changes in strategic directions of the institute, especially in academic matters.
  4. Peer assessment of faculty
  5. Any other matter that may be of concern to any member

All the bodies of the society provide for concurrent overlapping membership, so that context of an issue discussed at a lower level is available at the next level.

2. Local Management Committee (LMC)

The local management committee consists of a representatives of management of the society, Life member Accountant, Representative of the Poona Board of Life members, Representative of the teaching and the non-teaching staff and the Director of the institute.
