Q.27 Ans:
Technology Up gradation Gunnebo India Ltd has successfully commissioned IP based Smart Card Access Control System integrated with our Entrance Control System i.e. Tripod SlimStile BE as a part of the Campus Access Management System at Vidya Prasarak Mandal (Thane College). This is the first of its kind system to be used in Collages in India done by Gunnebo. The college campus has nearly 7 streams of various degree programs with nearly 15000 students attending. The main task for the college administration was to keep a track on the student‟s movement in and out of the campus. The attendance for the students is also captured by the system. The application software is used for central monitoring and full operation of personal movement tracking and Access Control System. In the College, we have integrated the Access Control System with our Entrance Control System i.e. Tripod System and Vehicle Entry Boom Barrier. All employees‟ personal information is in application server and also resides on the smart cards used by the students and employees. For the visitor a separate tripod lane has been created. When a visitor reports to the security in-charge, the personal details of the visitor are fed in the database and also on to the Smart Cards. The security then issues a one day entry card for the college premises. Some of the important areas in the campus like the entries for Research Center; Computer Lab and Library are secured with Access Control System. In case if the student forgot to bring his smart card on a day, he will be allowed entry through the Visitor Entry Door and he has to get his attendance marked manually on the client software at the Admin block.

Students participate in all these activities starting from planning till the execution of the programmes. This helps in overall personality development of students, This year we received very good response on “Stress Management” programme. It is the need of the students; hence we will arrange more interactive programmes to cater to the psychological need of our students. Our web-net committee will update our web site. Our management has started the expansion work. Already we have well equipped Information Technology Department, Mathematics and Statistics Department, library, staff common room and ladies room. Last year the expansion and improvement of infrastructure our office, seminar room, record room, principal and Vice principal's chambers was completed. This year renovation of the Botany department is done. Also a well-set computer lab and bio-tech lab were constructed. Similarly our computer lab is equipped by 40 computers. In gymkhana additional area is added so we can place gym equipments. Still construction of amphitheatre and chemistry research lab, Microbiology lab is in progress, which will be completed within six months. We have already sent our consent letter for reaccreditation. We will complete RAR as early as possible and send to NAAC. Our management is very supportive and ready to accept any new ideas. We believe continuous evaluation of existing practices and adding some new will take our institute to great heights. Hence with the strong support of management we wish to continue with our task to move upwards. Mrs. M. J. Gholba
