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

“The satisfaction of contributing to the society by building future generations is immense”

We have a management philosophy of inducting talents with national and international acumen in the education domain. Over the years, we have succeeded in having a very strong Academic Advisory Board, comprising of influential academicians, academic administrators and senior professionals from Industry. This Board interacts regularly and suggests to us the changes we need to incorporate. Interactions with such eminent professionals, students, and faculty keep us motivated and connected to the Education domain.

What is your philosophy of leadership and its unbiased implementation?

“My leadership style capitalizes on the strengths of my team members”

As education leaders, we need to understand the difference between managing the Industry and managing a Group of Educational Institutes. Education is a people-driven domain. Accomplished academicians with the capability to transform students into successful professionals are at the centre stage. The management has to play its role of facilitator and administrators to develop student-centric policies and procedures. 

What do you think your responsibilities to the University and the students are?

“To be an influencer, facilitator and motivator of world-class education and policies”

I am responsible for developing a customer-centric culture that strives for excellence and succeeds in maintaining the rapid pace of growth. 

  • Experimenting with unconventional ways of Group administration. 
  • Treating staff as a valuable resource and maintaining a healthy campus environment.
  • Provide students with motivation and resources to groom them to their fullest potential.
  • Ensure that all our stakeholders appreciate the efforts taken to churn out students with a high level of discipline.

What is your vision for the future of the Rungta Group of Institutions? 

“To become a top-rated global service provider in the education sector”

Initially, our vision was to develop top-quality institutions in the region and fill the void that existed in the higher education domain. The aim was to serve local students and make them employable for careers at the national level. The focus was localised, hence local acceptability, accessibility, affordability and local aspirations were more prominent deciding factors. Today, we have become more knowledgeable in terms of having an understanding of the Higher education domain.

What are some of the biggest challenges for the higher education sector currently?

“To stay relevant during the educational tilt towards unconventional paths”

Student aspirations are changing very fast in today’s world. Several unconventional careers are emerging, which may not even require a conventional degree for that matter. This aspect of Job market shift will further increase. It might so happen, that students in large number, would not even go to college for conventional education. How we tackle this challenge and remain relevant to such a segment of students would be a daunting task.

What are some plans that you’re currently (or will be) designing for students welfare?

“Imparting futuristic skill sets to the students and empowering them with global education”

  • With Changing Professional Education Scenario, emphasis has now shifted to Skill-based Expertise. 
  • During the pandemic, Rungta Group has tied up with organisations like Harvard B. School, 8 Global Vendors for High-End training and Global Certifications including AWS Academy, GoDaddy Academy, CISCO Networking Academy, Paloalto Network Cyber Security Academy, etc. 
  • Additionally, personality development via, soft skill classes, Industrial visits, Vocational training on campus, and Internships are a regular practice.
  • Rungta Group has tied up with GrayQuest for student Loans and monthly fees payment options.

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

“They should commit to serve their motherland and be more responsive to the societal norms”

Today’s youth is more exposed to technology advancements and is highly informed.

My suggestion to them would be, that, with all that good in them, they should also imbibe very strong core values of discipline and integrity. They should always remain grateful to their elders, parents and teachers who have toiled hard for their success.
