Preface

Purushottam Thote College of Social Work was established in Nagpur by the ‗Ganpatrao Thote
Sewa Sanstha‘, Nagpur on 23 May 1993 to impart professional education in social work by starting
Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and added Master of Social Work [MSW] in 1998. The College is
affiliated to Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur. It is covered under grant-
in-aid programme from 2005 of Maharashtra government.
The prime objective of the College is to bring about intellectual awakening and transformation
in educational, economic, social, and cultural fields in India and particularly in Maharashtra. The
emphasis has been on all round progress and welfare of the underprivileged and weaker section of
the society.
In 2009 our college was accredited by NAAC. It gives me immense pleasure to submit the
Re-Accreditation Report (RAR) of our college to the National Assessment & Accreditation Council
(NAAC), Bangalore for Re-accreditation (Cycle II) in compliance of our LOI requirements for
further quality sustenance, enhancement, and improvement of the college. This exercise has
provided us an opportunity to review and analyze the institutional progress after the first
accreditation and further strengthened us in our quest for Quality in the times to come. The Internal
Quality Assurance Cell, established after the first accreditation of our college, has been instrumental
in raising the bar of excellence and adopting and implementing diverse quality enhancing measures
during the Post-accreditation period. The college complied with almost all the recommendations of
the Peer Team in a planned and systematic manner.
This report is the outcome of the collective efforts of the entire college staff. I deeply
appreciate the wide involvement and sincere, collaborative effort of the entire team. An iconic
women institution, the college is striving to carve a niche for itself on the world education map by
adopting innovative initiatives, acquiring new skills and employing new techniques.
Hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing soon from you on your decision on Peer Team
Visit for Inspection.
