Tell us about your experience in the education industry and your inclination towards it?

“An innate passion to work towards the upliftment of education sector inspires me everyday”

I have been serving this education industry since 1986, which is now facing a tremendous challenge due to less scope of job opportunities worldwide. There is an increasing trend of recession, and no initiatives to bring changes in conventional education. The young generations are less inclined towards academics. I wish to bring about a positive change in this field and bridge the gap between the industry-institute demand and supply. The revival of this industry is possible only when there is an adaptation of a new model of the education system.

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

“A syllabus that provides comprehensive theory and practical knowledge to the students”

Our curriculum is always changing with the pace of technology-driven industry trends. We understand the demands of the latest industrial revolution worldwide and the changes that come with it. Hence, in coordination with the professionals from the industries, we provide guest lectures, material seminars, industry visits, and internships to our students.

What are the top qualities that a student must possess?

What is the Ideal school environment and culture according to you?

“A positive atmosphere with a healthy blend of academics and extracurricular activities”

The environment should be student-centric with various co-curricular activities for holistic development. All faculties and administrative team members must work together to eradicate the fear-factor from the educational institute. The assessment should be performance-oriented, based on day to day interaction. Also, the examination process should be majorly practical oriented.

How do you maintain a healthy relationship with the students?

“Interactive sessions to help students express their thoughts and views on various subjects”

I believe that a healthy relationship can only be maintained when students are mentally and physically fit. We regularly organize yoga, meditation and discussions within the campus for this purpose. Each institution student and faculty member has to participate compulsorily.

How do you enable the growth of students through placement opportunities at your institute?

“We provide skill enhancement training and proper career guidance for students bright future”

Our students are adept with adequate knowledge and receive exposure to industry demanded skill set during their training periods. They are provided with on-job training and internships, due to our strong industry connect.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth?

“Essential to acquire multiple skills adhering with the ever changing job industry”

Todaysaspiring students should have the mindset to be multiskilled with the latest technology for maintaining a suitable career. They should learn about entrepreneurship and gain soft-skill training. Becoming self-reliant must be a priority for today’s youth. They must be influenced by “Vocal for Local” and “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” initiatives.
