What are your roles and responsibilities towards the students?

“Assisting and flourishing the growth of students”

The students arrive with high hopes and expectations in a University/college. It is our job to carry it forward and solidify whatever information we have in order to empower, lead and assist them in achieving their goals and ambitions. The faculty’s primary job is to assist and support them in teaching and help them to excel in their life.

How do you tend to establish healthy relations with the students and fellow faculty?

“Incorporating an interactive work culture”

Communication, in my opinion, is crucial. It is critical to have in-depth conversations with everyone you encounter, particularly at the Institute. Two-way dialogue between students and teachers allows us to better understand their perspectives and the challenges they encounter. It’s easy to tell people what to do when you’re in this position, but it takes a lot of effort to listen to them and comprehend their problems. We need to talk to them about it and find a common ground where they can communicate with us so that we can all work together to help them create their future.

What extracurricular activities do you offer to enhance the skills of the students?

“Subjective and skill developing events and activities”

Extracurricular activities, in my opinion, are the most important part of learning since they offer an environment conducive to appropriate learning and skill development. It enables us to communicate with and comprehend them in a better way. We engage in a variety of activities like NCC, NSS, various cultural programs and events, sports and athletic meets, etc. to fulfill every possible need of a student. A number of workshops, seminars and symposiums are also organized to teach students skills related to subjects and by organizing such events they are able to learn team-building skills and leadership qualities as well.
