What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“Education is the only field where you sharpen the child throughout and make him a civilized citizen”

Education is the sector where you have satisfaction to make a career of a person. Passion for teaching and playing an important role in the journey of one’s life, helping and motivating them towards their goal gives me immense pleasure. These things are possible only in a teaching career.

Being the Director, what is your philosophy of leadership and How would you describe your leadership style?

“Take out the best of a person and where somebody lacks, guide him to overcome his/her shortcomings”

I never ignore anyone and try to maintain a personal touch. For me everyone is important and plays an important role in the successful operation of the institute. I am always available to my students and staff for any help.

How do you strategize about the key programs and plans for the marketing and administration of SRCEM?

“Pass out students are the best ambassadors of marketing”

Give quality that is the only way for long term marketing. Sincerity and faithfulness show the path of success. We believe in imparting quality education and that is our investment for the marketing. As word of mouth is much more valuable than the hoardings and posters on the walls.

According to you, what can an inbound student gain from studying in SRCEM?

“We try to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical knowledge of the student”

In India we are mainly following the British System. The other system is American which is being followed by most European countries. But I feel that the basic knowledge system in India is perfect. The system followed in India is kind of encouraging theoretical knowledge and lacks practical knowledge. We have already started working in the direction of filling this gap in theoretical and practical knowledge. 

How does the curriculum of your institute ensure the best practice of industry?

“We follow the A.I.C.T.E and the university-specific curriculum”

We add our courses so as to make the student fit for the demand of the industry. We have signed MOUs with many industries and the Faridabad Industrial Association. Where we send our students for training during Summer and Semester break. Preparing them for future industry needs and to be able to apply their knowledge to the industry, we keep them connected to the industries through various training programmes.

What are your roles and responsibilities to the Institute and the students?
