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

“Engagement, passion and inspiration”

I think the prime reason that has kept me connected to the profession is the love for teaching. I also have a passion for research, to know and explore new things. With changing environmental conditions, remoulding and restructuring the syllabus into the form for providing best education to coming generations is also my focus area. I also derive inspiration from great leaders like Savitribai Jyotirao Phule and Abdul Kalam who devoted their life to education.

How has the institute adopted changes in these challenging times of COVID-19?

“Digital resources and tools along with aids for facility development”

Online platform for Teaching Learning was adopted early during the pandemic. Google classroom and many other online platforms were disrupted so that students' learning process remains uninterrupted.
