What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“Democratic Leadership is always the leadership style I prefer”

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

“The opportunity of Lifelong learning and achieving”

I have a long association in the field of education with the experience of eighteen years. In my professional career, I find myself as a lifelong learner. Main key factor of education is inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all ( stated as the same in the New Education Policy 2020 agenda reflected in the Goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by India in 2015 ). 

When you first came to the university, what was your vision and how are you trying to achieve the same?

“The overall transformation in educational structure to raise the level of achievements”

I have joined this university in 2017 with a vision of transformation in education for the students. The teachers were focused on disciplinary knowledge, problem solving skills, leadership quality and holistic development. To achieve the same, I have started a Personality Empowerment programme with Self-defense training, Multiple pedagogy based Workshops and oriented Faculty Development programme, Micro Teaching Workshops, and Cultural activity based traditional programmes too. 

Being the Dean, Faculty of Education, how do you tend to establish a healthy relation and environment in your University?

“Open Communication and Mutual understanding are the ways for making healthy environment”

I always keep trying to connect with my students and my colleagues too with open and honest Communication. I always respect and appreciate them for maintaining healthy relations. There is a way of mutual respect and understanding for the conflict resolutions. I make it my responsibility to let students and faculties know that I am available for any kind of problem they might be facing.

“Different hurdles to overcome as a country and as a University”

Both K . N Modi and India in a generalized way have their specific challenges to overcome.
