What are the challenges faced by you in uplifting the quality of education of your department?

“To uplift the quality of education of the students coming from the rural areas”

The main challenge faced to uplift the quality of education of my department is that most of the students are from a rural background, so improving their Communication Skills becomes difficult since they haven’t had the relevant exposure. Communication is important for jobs and other scholarly feats such as Innovative publications in reputed journals and pattern filing.
