Allied Studies, Sem VII
For this particular course, college offered us an opportunity to practice with other practitioners about any skill you are passionate about. For my practise, I was interested to work in understanding deeper about how large scale institutes are managed, how does administration take place, how does a system really work in handling such organisation. I was keen on knowing about what kind of work force helps in functioning of such huge establishments and how are decisions really made. My work mainly revolved around operating in Human Resource Functioning, understanding the Management and Administration aspects.
Pravara Rural Education Society is an academic organisation based in Loni of Ahmednagar district. It has 106 institutes all over the Ahmednagar district and Sinnar city in Nashik, ranging from Pre-Primary Education to Primary to Secondary to Higher Secondary. PRES also governs under it 5 diploma colleges, 21 under graduate colleges and 15 post graduate colleges. It has about 3100+ teachers teaching over 42,000+ students from various schools and colleges.
In my period of work, I got opportunity to work in the following institutes:

Overall, for me it was great to know how much it takes to handle such large institutions, what all goes behind continuously to manage everything, right from accounts department to purchase department to HR department to education department to legal department to establishment department to council to governing body and much more. It is like a chain of people working in their respective zones. I also got a brief observation on what roles does a person on his/her post has to carry on, what rights they work on and how do they function.
At the same time I got to work in HR department at PRES and with various directors and principals of different schools and colleges. Working in HR dept. and establishment dept. gave me a brief understanding of several mandates that need to be taken care of. Attending the teacher recruiting interviews and being a member of scrutiny committee helped me acknowledge the factors before appointing any employee.
