A Report of UGC Sponsored National Workshop on

Application of Statistical Tools in the Field of Commerce 16th and 17th March 2018

The Department of Commerce of the Bhopal School of Social Sciences hosted a UGC Sponsored National Workshop on 16th and 17th March 2018, on the topic Application of Statistical Tools in the Field of Commerce. The purpose of the workshop was to make young researcher and academicians understand various methodologies and applications of statistical tools required for the researches in the field of commerce and management. The workshop was attended 60 participants who are research scholars and academicians representing their colleges and universities, across the country. The chief guest of the occasion was Dr. G.S. Chouhan –Deputy Secretary, Regional UGC office, Bhopal. The resource persons for the technical sessions were Dr. N.D. Mathur, Professor and HOD, Department of Economics, Manipal Univ. Jaipur and Dr. Seema Mehta, Associate Prof. Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR Univ.) respectively.

Inaugural Session The workshop was initiated with lighting of the lamp. The Principal of BSSS Fr. Dr. John P.J. welcomed the chief guest, the resource persons and the participants. This was followed by the inaugural address of the chief guest Dr. G.S. Chouhan who spoke on the importance of statistical research in different fields of life. And also emphasized that research is a unique phenomena and if it is done properly it can contribute to growth of the country. The convener of the workshop, Dr. Binoy Arickal, Head of the Department of Commerce, in his address, highlighted the intention and applicability of statistical research. In his keynote address Dr. N.D. Mathur spoke about various stages of research and how new age technology has changed the intellectual scenario. He pointed out that the researcher needs to think out of the box as research leads to change and change invites research. Research and innovation are responsible for the progress and development of a nation. Therefore it is imperative that we identify relevant areas of research and come up with findings that impact society meaningfully. We need to break away from our comfort zones for achieving anything valuable in the field of research. Dr. Smitha Pillai, the organising Secretary of this National workshop presented a vote of thanks at the end of the inaugural session.

TECHNICAL SESSION 1 The venue for the session 1 was the main conference hall of the college. During this technical session, Dr. N.D. Mathur, the resource person, shared insightful observations and humorous anecdotes related to various aspects of research in Commerce as well as Science and Humanities. He talked about the importance of mentors, possible sources of generating ideas and topics of research, adopting correct approach and methodology as well as scientific temper.

59

He described various stages of research as:

Preparation Incubation Intimation Illumination Verification

He also spoke about importance of analysing results through statistical tools which provide more authenticity to the results. He also described the role of technology and research in bringing formative changes in the world. But these changes also present many challenges before a researcher. He further emphasized the importance of training in field of research. Thus, by giving many real life examples he discussed various issues about identification of research problem and research design in detail. He concluded the session by saying that the dynamics of teaching are changing day by day due to technology. And every teacher can become entrepreneur by developing and creating something new while regular teaching. A good researcher should be a good teacher also. The session proved to be very insightful for all participants and was also well appreciated by all. DAY-2 A Session on Data Analysis by Dr. Seema Mehta 17th March 2018 was the second day of the workshop on "Application of Statistical Tools in the field of Commerce" at BSSS College, Dr. Seema Mehta, Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR University) discusses Statistical Tools to be used for data analysis for researches in Commerce and Management. The session consisted of interaction with the participants and plenary discussions by the resource person where she highlighted and clarified nuances of data analysis. The venue of this session was computer lab- 1 in the main building of the college.

Following topics were covered during the second day of the workshop:

1. Data Entry and Management: Dr. Mehta said for data analysis, first one

needs to understand data. Statistical data gives life to meaning to meaningless numbers, thereby breathing life to lifeless data. The result and inferences are accurate and precise only if proper statistical tests are used. She acquainted the participants with basic statistical tools, database creation, data entry, data management etc that are utilized for conducting various studies. The participants were also informed about transformation and importing of external databases like importing advance statistical tools in MS Excel itself in case of unavailability of SPSS software.

2. Summarization of different types of data: She further explained about measure of central tendency & dispersion, reporting frequencies and

60

graphical representation of data. The variables are classified into two categories i.e. quantitative and qualitative variables. Quantitative Variables: The variables that are measured on numeric

or quantitative scale are considered as quantitative variables. For example demographic status, gender status etc. Quantitative Variables are further characterized into nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scale.

Qualitative Variables: These are the variables that express our qualitative attributes such as hair color, color of eyes, gender i.e. male or female etc. Values of qualitative variables do not imply a numerical ordering.

She further discusses the features of quantitative variables in detail:

Nominal Scale: When variable are unordered. They are called Nominal. The data are classified into categories and not in order, for example, yes/no, like/unlike etc.

Ordinal Scale: In this scale, there is a clear ordering between the variables. The ordered data may not have equal intervals.

Interval Scale: Interval scale is similar to ordinal scale, only difference is that the intervals between the values of this scale are equally spaced. For example the marking of a thermometer which is equally spaced, etc.

Parametric: A parametric statistical test is one that makes assumptions about the parameters (defining properties) of the population distribution(s) from which one's data are drawn Numerical data i.e. quantitative variables that are normally distributed which means that when data is near to mean or consistent is treated as normal data (distribution). The samples have the same variance (homogeneity of variance). Samples are randomly drawn from population and the observations within a group are independent of each other. The commonly used parametric tests are T-test, F-test, Z-test, regression, ANOVA, etc.

Non- Parametric: Nonparametric tests are also called distribution-free tests because they don't assume that your data follow a specific distribution of "non-parametric" When the sample means are normally distributed which means negatively and positively skewed towards left and right, there we apply the non- parametric tests. Non- parametric tests are used in such situations as they do not require the normality assumption. Non- parametric test may fail to detect significant results when compared to parametric tests. Chi- Square (X2) is used to analyze the nominal scale variables. Chi- square is always used with demographic information.

3. Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive Statistics helps to get the nerve of the data. When we have data and we are unable to identify the data type then descriptive statistics is used. Under this mean, maximum, minimum range of the data is to be checked. If larger range is towards the mean, then maximum and minimum needs to be observed. Range means that the broad consistency is not there, the larger the range the greater the deviation. In that case standard deviation plays an important role in knowing the data type. Lesser deviation means data is tend to be normal. If deviation is greater than it is outlier. If data is parametric we find the correlation and if data is non-parametric association is to be find. If data is heterogeneous than it is non-parametric in that case medium should be checked.

4. Hypothesis testing: She further talked about testing hypothesis through parametric & non-parametric tests and explained multivariate analysis also. She also explained p-value at or below Alpha to reject the hypothesis and P< .o5 – reject null hypothesis, P>.05 do not reject null hypothesis. And also talked about various areas of research and advanced methodology used for that. In the end, she emphasized that SPSS is smart software made specifically for research purposes in the field of social sciences and it does lot of analysis on its own after feeding data into it.

Thus, Dr. Seema Mehta gave us all a taste of wonderful journey from research analysis to research analytics. Our concepts regarding tools for data analysis, descriptive statistics, insertion of charts, pivot table, co-relation between variables became clearer and well-defined.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PRACTICE The main objectives of BSSS Rhythm are as follows:

Knowledge Sharing: It is an educational platform for students through which they develop a deeper understanding of life and the world around them with the help of new, innovative and often interactive ways. This is done through interviews, discussions, talks and narrations in which students also form part of the group and acquire deeper knowledge and learn to make the connect between pre-existing knowledge and the real world.

Cultural: To get an exposure to the richness and diversity of Indian culture as well as some of the global cultures. Cultural programmes developed by Rhythm increase the cultural literacy of students and help the audience to recognize and respect distinctiveness of various cultures and develop a secular and global outlook. Many of these programmes are performance based.

Skill Development: Through the educational programmes students develop competencies in leadership, team work, initiative, consensus building and also hone skills of analytical thinking, critical evaluation, public speaking, Radio Jockeying, radio production, singing, script writing, poem writing, story writing, composition of songs.

Information: The platform is also used for dissemination of information in new fields as well as on dynamic and meaningful work done in areas of extension, social responsibility, community service, environment, mental health, campus life, health and safety, women empowerment. Programs on problems faced by youth are also addressed through discussions with experts.

MAIN BENEFITS OF THIS PRACTICE ARE: Student Benefits

Student Engagement Self-learning Student Motivation Improvement in performance by learning time management,

leadership, cooperation and coordination

72

Confidence building LEARNING BENEFITS

Qualitative programs help to learn and absorb knowledge speedily. Makes students proactive and competitive and helps students to get

training in their desired area. Helps students to become more creative in Learning the Use of

Technology (LUT). EDUCATOR BENEFITS

Fun, exciting and easy-to-use broadcast technology for both Teachers and Students

Adheres to current government Broadcast Standards Can be integrated into a Wide Variety of School Curriculum

THE CONTEXT BSSS Rhythm is a program started for the holistic development of students that helps them to grow in a collaborative society. Working on this program, the institute found a few challenges, namely, heavy investment in setting up and running this program, experts required to make web arrangements, studio formation and management, experts for the video capturing and editing etc. Students need teacher experts to train and mentor them for script writing, RJ, singing in the studio environment, and articulation of language. For all this development a lot of time, money and efforts are being consumed. Institute has adopted, Gratification Approach (GA); this is an approach to understand why and how people actively seek out specific media to satisfy specific needs and it is an Audience Centered Approach (ACA). This approach has helped to understand the needs of the listeners and make suitable programs for them. As an educational institution it is our moral responsibility to prepare entertaining programs that also have some learning either in the form of social, ethical, environmental, technical or any other. THE PRACTICE BSSS Rhythm helps the students to learn with fun. This program supports the students to show their hidden talent as creative writers, conversationalists, RJs, singers and script writers. Through this program they also learn team work, leadership, time management, creativity and awareness towards global issues and changes. Program making will be easier if we know the need of the listeners. Every program needs a lot of efforts in drafting and recording with right sequence.

73

It needs proper training and guidance through the right mentors and the absence of which would reduce the quality of the programs. Programs that are broadcast on BSSS Rhythm include relevant information, such as , facts, news, political issues, social issues, economic and environmental changes, interest of the youth and their problems etc. BSSS Rhythm is one out of 23 campus radios active in Indian educational institutions. It has its own software and web app for its functioning. It has no geographical limitations as it is broadcast through internet. This makes it available all around the globe. There are a few constraints also, as the students keep changing after each year; a very frequent and continuous training is needed. College needs to make proper arrangements for the training of the new students to maintain the quality of the program.

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED Main problems encountered in running this program are:

a) Timely input/training sessions for the students. b) Initial cost of setting up the studio was very high. c) Understanding the constant change in the need of the listeners is

unpredictable. d) Continuous training and mentoring of the students. e) Costly technical Web management. f) The initial stages of the new students seem time consuming. g) Retaining the quality of the program as per the need of the listeners. h) Running cost is also high as technical experts are required.

Resources Required:

BEST Practice - 2

Title of the Practice: “Earn while you Learn” Objectives of the Practice The Bhopal School of Social Sciences is a premier education institution which always believes to bring transformational changes in the nation building process and ensures students active participation in this noble venture. It’s a platform which enable and engage students to various assignments and consultancy programs, which add to practical knowledge and experience to the learning process. It boosts the employability through earn while you learn. The concept also gives an outlook on various socio-economic, political and cultural needs of the society. This practice tries to bring up the qualities such as potential, efficiency and competency of the students in an effective manner. The Context We have to give more emphasis towards a concrete system of work which enable us to have strong network and collaboration with developmental agencies and organizations to get consultancy work on continuous basis. One challenge faced was to identify the right kind of talents to execute the assignments as per the requirement of the client. Able hands need to be identified and incubated for expanding the whole venture. The Practice We adopted a pragmatic approach to knowledge building process by exposing students to real life professional challenges. Students are engaged in assignments in various capacity to get experiential learning. Overview of the Practices: We have engaged three social work students in the project Mobile Mitra for the academic session 2017-18. Two of them are appointed as Student Coordinators and one as SAKHI Ambassadors. They have experienced the urban realities of Bhopal Municipal Corporation (20 wards). They have received an honorarium of Rs.166650/- under earn while you learn concept. Thirty-two students (32 students) were engaged in data entry work of three different assignments and earned an amount of Rs.128123/-. One twenty students were part of the Annual Statistical Education Report (ASER) 2017- Beyond Basics of Pratham Education Foundation. They were trained by Pratham Foundation and done the survey in the field of education. The surveyors received an amount of Rs. 97117/- from this assignment. Students reached out to 60 villages of two blocks of Bhopal District and conducted. Student coordinator was appointed in one of the college’s Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) projects BSSS-Jeevanshala and she earned Rs.13750/- from this project. Altogether we have engaged 154 students in this academic year and made payment of Rupees Four Lakhs Fifty Six Thousand Thirty Nine only (Rs.456039/-) under earn while you learn concept.

75

Evidence of Success All the assignments were completed in the stipulated time frame and cater a platform to the students to enrich the knowledge and skills. For students this opportunity was experiential because they got exposure in the field and earned through learning. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Strong network and collaboration is needed for the sustainability of this venture. The concept will only sustain, if the institution gets similar assignments from various voluntary organizations. Institution needs to clutch more developmental projects for involvement of more students.

BEST PRACTICE-3

FEEDBACK FROM STAKEHOLDERS FOR ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXCELLENCE

Objectives of the Best Practice:

To include all stakeholders of the college, i.e. students, teachers, parents, office staff, consultants, alumni and external academic experts in decisions about college policy and functioning

To gauge the satisfaction level of all the stakeholders with college functioning

To identify the areas of satisfaction and concern for the college To provide any avenue for stakeholders of the college for contribution

in enhancement of academics and governance in the college To assess the impact of various interventions (schemes, policies etc) of

the college to determine their future course of actions The Context The Feedback Review Committee takes feedback from the students and other stakeholders based on the parameters laid down by NAAC as well as the on what it knows of current global trends in the practice. The decision on inclusion of criteria is one of the major areas that require contemplation. While we aim at a full-fledged feedback mechanism, for all the processes and sub-processes, events and sub-events, we had problems apropos designing of relevant instruments for capturing it. We measure impact of most of our academic and administrative events / processes through a self-report questionnaire or schedule. The items are usually dichotomous (yes/no), trichotomous (yes/no/maybe) or likert-type. The items relevant to the event/process are usually administered through a paper-pencil type test. We believe and strive towards developing that more robust tools as well as better methods of administration (such as online or using smartphone apps). The Practice In accordance with the current best-practices BSSS conducts feedback on almost every aspect of college functioning. A list and brief description of the feedback instruments are in the following sections. Feedback obtained are given due consideration for related decisions. BSSS has a simple feedback mechanism as outlined in the figure below.

77

Figure: Flow Chart of BSSS Feedback Mechanism

Feedback usually starts after a new problem or an issue is brought to the notice of the administration. If the administration feels the problem is novel or suggestion from the stakeholders are required, it assigns the problems via Feedback Review Committee (FRC) to respective committee to come up with an instrument to tap stakeholders’ opinion (i.e. have their feedback). Here begins the first stem given the mechanism above. Planning and Discussion: The committee prepares a preliminary draft of the feedback form. Experts may be consulted at this stage if required. Pilot Run: The preliminary instrument is then tested on a small sample of students. The students at this stage are also asked to indicate what they understand from the items of the instrument. If there is a lot variation in interpretation of an item by a student, it is either modified or dropped. An analysis of scores as well as a content analysis of the students’ understanding of the items is done at this stage. Design of Instrument: After the process followed in the pilot run stage. The instrument is finalized by the committee and then forwarded to the Feedback Review Committee (FRC). The FRC in consultation with the Autonomous Cell either recommends the instrument to the Principal for approval or sends it back the respective committee for review along with its suggestions. After the Principal approves the instrument it is included in the official list of the Feedback Review Committee (FRC).

Data Collection: The FRC is ultimately responsible for collecting the feedback. The FRC decides on how to go about collecting feedback. It differs from type of feedback. For instance, it may enlist help of Class Counsellors to get feedback from students. Similarly, it may use its members to get feedback from the Alumni or Parents as and when there may be an occasion. A recent development has been the use of google docs to collect information from those parties who do not frequent the campus. They generally reply by email. Once the data is collected FRC goes ahead to analysis. Analysis and Report: FRC then assigns the work of analysis to any competent body of the College such as Computer Application Department or Research Cell. If required first data entry is carried out. Then analysis is done on the basis of nature of feedback. After the analysis, results are handed over to the FRC which then prepares the final report to be handed over the Principal. Decision: The final report is given to the Principal for his perusal. Decision on the matter is taken by the Principal after consideration of the report. Report is also discussed with other faculty members if required. Limitations

The response rate for the feedback is quite low especially when they involve parents, alumni etc.

Since most feedbacks are still taken on paper-pencil format, data entry is major impediment that slows down the process.

Evidence of Success The suggestions are taken very seriously and incorporated for the betterment of the stakeholders and overall wellbeing of the college. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

1. We have found it difficult so far to engage the alumni more frequently to advise us on the current issues in various domains of industry, academia and civil society.

2. Our feedback system at present is more informative rather than prescriptive. We need to design items that could imply suggestions to solve problems.

3. A large amount of data is gathered during feedback process. This needs to be stored safely both original forms and spreadsheets created

4. Volume of data collected is quite large which should allow us to look for current methods of knowledge discovery from data using tools of data science such as machine learning.

Annexure- IV

Report on Stake Holders Feedback

Introduction BSSS endeavors to achieve excellence by facilitating quality education and has a mission statement to it to become catalysts for the integral development of students with necessary convictions, attitudes and motivation. The objective of the institute has been the overall growth and development of its learners by educating them in the right way to make them employable. The learner receives valuable inputs from within the institute as well as from outside through a practical exposure. In this fruitful assignment, the college has seen the co-operation and participation of certain stakeholders with all of them of important to the institute, learning from them and molding accordingly to meet the dynamic requirements. Higher Education has seen an exponential growth in the recent years with many private players establishing their footing in the area. The emphasis on quality of higher education at the national and international level has left no room for complacency. The best way to measure, where the institute stands is to take a feedback from its stakeholders to it. Thus, an empirical study of the feedback of the stakeholders is of prime importance to the college due to two reasons 1. To know where it stands presently so that it can strengthen it’s already

built up strengthens and identify the areas requiring introspection or intervention.

2. To meet the needs of the industry and organizations in a much better and focused way based on the suggestions given by its stakeholders.

The institution every year rolls out this process to cater to the real need of the stakeholders.
