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

As education is the primary need of society, being attached to it is a huge inspiration. It gives us the privilege to transform the people into responsible citizens and employable human resources. Education sector allows us to push the boundaries of young minds preparing them to deal with worldly matters.

How do you strategize about the key programs and plans for the College's administration?

“A dedicated academic council and Board of studies is responsible for the operations”

Our college consists of statutory bodies, responsible for academic programs in our University. These include the Board of Study and the Academic council. Our primary focus remains on aligning with the industry, understanding the requirement, and then designing the syllabus. Once the committee drafts the syllabus, the Board of study approves it, and drives it through the academic council. We try to bridge the gap between industry and academia.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the aspiring students?

“Understand the crucial importance of education and opportunities that come with it”

My message to youth will be not to take education and career for granted. We must not let opportunities get wasted.

These factors are essential to uplift the weaker sections of the society and the nation as a whole.
