What is your philosophy of leadership?

“Working as a group and staying connected to the roots”

Being the principal, my philosophy is that believe in WE and not in I. I strictly believe that failure is mine and success is ours. I am a preacher of team spirit and teamwork. We are equally qualified. I am a grassroots level person. I started my career from scratch and moved up the ladder. There was no godfather for me in this field, so I understand very well the mindset of faculties. At the end of the day, I have to look after their welfare and maintain the trust.

In these hard times of the COVID-19 situation, how are you engaging your students?

“Getting the best of their intellect and knowledge”

What I am seeing as a big challenge is that online classes are not very engaging. However, the pandemic has compelled us to teach online. It lacks the conversational touch that of face to face classes. There is a serious lack of real-time response in online classes. We are trying to overcome it by engaging students in assignments, so that they do not just act as spectators but also involve themselves. Each class ends with the allotment of assignments to boost productivity and put the student’s creativity to use.

What do you see as Bengal School of Technology and Management's greatest strengths?

“Our innovative classroom methods designed for constant improvement”

Our College was established in the year 2006. Till date we are maintaining our USP or rather you can say strength is that we believe in the In-depth education. The methods further enrich students for better placements and training. The basic mantra that we follow is that we not only prepare students as per the course curriculum but more than to be industry-ready. The faculty has been instructed to analyse topics in depth so that the students can grasp a clear understanding and concept on the subject matter. 

Any insights into how Bengal School of Technology and Management could be more welcoming to students of different races or economic backgrounds?

“Providing financial aid and scholarships to the aspiring and deserving individuals”

I have always made sure that money is not a hindrance to someone’s education. Many students in our college have a weak economical background. I have kept the fee structure affordable and minimal in comparison to other institutions. Meritorious students can reach out to me and get their fee reduced.

How do you tend to establish a healthy relation and environment in and around your College?

“Teaching them to be kind and always being a helping hand”

Every month we encourage our students to participate in various activities like tree plantation, blood donation camps, health check-ups. During this pandemic situation we have reached out to the needy and distributed the essentials. Through these small acts of kindness, we plant the seed of empathy in one individual for the other. 

What are some of the biggest challenges you see, both for higher education in general?

“The notion that our country has no opportunity”

Choosing the correct course should be of utmost priority. The biggest lacuna that colleges are facing is that they are not interested in counselling, but only they want to fill their seats. The majority of students will follow whatever the buzz is. However, there are a lot of good colleges that follow counselling and the students have a clear view of what they are or will be getting into. Until and unless students do not have passion, success will never come.

Would you like to tell any significant initiative that you have taken for the College?

“Bringing more of the practical knowledge and its application”

Few years ago, I came across people from the industry who noticed that students with the best grades lacked technicalities or relevant skills. Since then, my focus was on producing industry-ready and confident professionals who are academically sound too. We went ahead with the approach of teaching with an application-oriented mindset.
