Knowledge that is gained through active participation is knowledge that will stay with an individual forever

I always believed in Three pillars for the development of students that are

Empowering the students developing transformational leaders and leveraging the technology. One of the main reasons to pursue a career in academia was because of the opportunity to work with the future generation of our country. My philosophy of teaching is based on the belief that learning needs to be students centric and the students are equal partners in the learning process. The pivotal objectives in teaching is to facilitate learning by helping students to gain the necessary skills to take control of and become active participants in their own learning. Knowledge that is gained through active participation is knowledge that will stay with an individual forever.

Leader is one who gives you direction and walks with you

Being the Director of Noble Group of Institutions, I believe that leadership is not any position or authority. Leader is the person who takes initiatives and creates opportunities. He thinks for the welfare of the team.

“Leader is one who gives you direction and walks with you.”

As a leader it is my duty to give them a vision and path of work. I found the true potential of my employee and assigned tasks of their interest and good skills. So they can perform very well in a given task.

Ensuring that engineering students are well-equipped for a dynamic, successful career, and preparing them to become capable engineering professionals in a world full of changes, is a major challenge the country is currently facing. To help overcome these challenges I have empowered new methods of teaching to bring the change.

Our educational and all-round development of the students speaks for itself

Our education and 360 degree development quality always speaks louder than marketing and administration strategy. NGI provides a platform to the students for making their dreams come true. Our student’s always do our marketing by their successful and well achieved career.

In some rural areas near our college where people are not aware about higher education. We plan some education awareness programs and career guidance programs for their knowledge.

I believed more in social media marketing compared to paper marketing. We concentrate more on what alumni speak, Current students’ feedback and faculties' views. All things we are highlighting on social media. We have a good informative website, Facebook and Instagram page for regular updates of college activities, and a good personal counselor for solving the students' queries.

We have established opportunities for students to develop their skills by effective teaching pedagogy

I recently visited Australia. In Melbourne many colleges and universities offer online and offline courses, which follow a totally practical and industry-oriented approach and provide a platform to students for developing skills and career.

We provide opportunities for practical learning by developing research and innovation labs at our campus. We frequently plan hands-on training by industry experts to aware students about current industry needs. As per curriculum subject we organize industrial visits of concern industry regularly.

We treat every student in a similar manner as they all come from a diverse background

We treat all the students the same as they might come from different economic backgrounds. We provide scholarships to the students based on their academic performance. Also, during admission time, we provide flat scholarship to each and every student in the past 6 years. Here, the students come from an underprivileged background, and thus we make sure to give them the best quality experience. They can not afford the fees of colleges which are situated in urban areas like Rajkot ,Ahmedabad and Baroda so we are providing excellent facilities and infrastructure at very economical fees.

So, as a director my role is to set examples of extraordinary and creative work done on deadline. My role is to develop Standard Operating Procedures for all institutions of campus. As it improves the quality of work. Not to forget, selection and recruitment of best staff and induction of senior staff is a major responsibility because staff plays an important role in developing students' successful careers.

The goal is to develop a student-centric environment for them to prosper

My overarching goal in teaching is to develop the student-enteric environment.When planning a course file, I identify a set of objectives and skills. Designing the course plan that mainly focuses on the application of critical thinking to foster deep learning, and the use of collaborative learning skills to cater to real world solutions of the problems.

In Overall teaching and learning process, I incorporate multiple choices and ways through the learning materials.

Junagadh and regions nearby are underdeveloped regions in terms of technology. Thus, it gives this region a vision to achieve technological advancement. This motivates the NGI to give the best efforts in advancements of Lehman’s lifestyle.

Students should know how to make optimal use of the technology

I have few suggestions for the youth to incorporate in their lives. Technology in today’s era works as a blessing and if we utilize it in a better way, it can be best optimized and leveraged . The only problem is that students are not utilizing the same in the right direction. They should make use of the principle of “Start where you are”, “Do what You can”, and “Use what You.
