Dr. Arora’s leadership style

Participating Planning and Decision making helps me to grow the institutions, and moreover, I believe in Creating leaders rather than subordinates. I always encourage them to develop CID. Creativity, Initiative, and Dedication to achieving organizational goals. This year we save our institution.

Time Management

Working as a director you meant to work 24 X7 for shaping Career of your students to earn respect, for that you have to think on following parameters branding of Institutions, admission, academics, and placement. Time plays a very important role to develop the business school. During Commuting in the car from Home to campus or Company you need to use that time for networking on social site to develop the relationship between Industry and institutions. (To the student > for the students)

Ensuring best practice of industry through curriculum

Worst, Useless syllabus. Tough to make my student for corporate assets in the given syllabus by the university. Finally, for the success, we added some part to make them employable.

Growth of students through placement opportunities available at Vishveshwarya School of Business

This is not a criterion only for VSB. We have to make an orientation program for management students, observed and analysis of their skill and prepare them to accept available opportunity in the market and cross interferences is big poison for the growth students. Another department cannot understand the appetite of Management Program it cannot treat like any bachelor program of Campus. We need to increase more industry interaction and invite Guest talk from industry and management students must involve in live projects.

Suggestion for effective Management Learners is 4 Day teaching and three days for live project, self-study and encourage them to observe industry philosophy.

Goals for the next few years

Every college have big infrastructure, but due to low admission in various courses it is not use in full capacity, for using the full capacity of available infrastructure I wish to invite some of the startup company to start their small offices, workshops on very minimum rent, so that they can get benefit for cost of the offices and workshop So, they can survive. In the other hand our students can do practice with these organization to get practical exposure. Introduce additional activities on multiple functions and students will involve with positive sense in our routine administrative activities on a small stipend, and can offer them available space for a small startup like a pencil, fly ash plant, solar plant, organic farming, agricultural blocks and dairy farm etc.
