Education provides knowledge by unveiling wisdom

To serve the society and humanity as a whole, educational organizations are the best places to work in. You get an opportunity to provide quality education and to inculcate professional skills in students so that they can hold a competitive edge over others.

In the rapidly shifting technological environment, it is important to educate children to modernize their skills as per the industry requirements. I have been associated with technical education for more than fifty years, and it is a noble profession to work in. Education is like an ornament in the society - it chastens vice, guides virtue, and gives grace and power to the genius.

Dr. Patel has an Integral Philosophy

As a Group Director of an educational institute, it is essential to coordinate with the management, faculty, staff, and students to build a healthy environment. To ensure this, my philosophy includes listening, consensus building, taking ethical decisions and setting of challenging goals, the sharing of data & performance and skill.

Faculty and students need to be connected to the outside world through cooperative ventures. I have a firm belief in and support for faculty development. Strong, committed and talented faculty is the most essential ingredient of any educational institution.

I strongly believe in placing a heavy emphasis on the intangibles of vision, values, and relationships especially team development. My fondest hope is that as a team facilitator I could be a gatherer of talent, a source of inspiration, and a helper to others, as we strive to forge a path to a sustainable and viable future.
