“Encourage students to take a responsible and conscientious attitude towards their work” 

It is my responsibility to be accountable for students’ attainment, progress, and outcomes. Also, I have to understand the capabilities they possess and focus on the weak areas. I guide my students and the same is reflected via the teaching-learning process that we follow.

How do you tend to establish healthy relations with the students and fellow faculty?

Promoting students for their involvement in co-curricular activities within and outside the campus is a pivotal aspect. We do it by assigning additional credit under the able guidance of faculty. Also, we undertake industrial training and internships. The same begins for second-year students. We impart need-based training to the students to enhance employability and entrepreneurship. Conducting guest lectures, workshops and seminars is an essential element of our pedagogy.

What are the challenges you faced/ are facing to uplift the quality of education of your department? 

“There is a dearth of relevant exposure of technology in the remote areas”

A prevalent challenge is that students are from an extremely remote location. They don’t have exposure to technological advancements and don’t have relevant accessories at their doorstep. Although we have urged higher authority and set up some tools to overcome these, the progress is slow.
