Experience in the education industry so far

Monitoring teachers’ lectures and students’ performance helps in maintaining the quality of education

I personally monitor the quality of classes ensuring all teachers are doing their best by providing great standards of learning. The students are evaluated regularly by a series of examinations & other academic activities.

A positive school environment must ensure equality

I try to build a positive school environment by treating everyone equally & by being very transparent.

Interacting with students and taking feedback ensures a strong teacher-student bond

I am a teaching professor as well so I get to interact with a few students directly and I am always open to feedback from students for improving the quality of education in any aspect.

Encouraging students to undertake research from the very first year

All the students in our department are encouraged to undertake research from the first year itself, in this regard, we ask them to work on mini projects, paper presentations, etc.
