What would you like people to know about RAMA University, they may not know?

“We have unique offerings at our institution”

Rama University is a fairly transparent organization. Every important activity conducted by the university is in the public domain. However, I would like to highlight our team's efforts consisting of Department Heads, faculty members, and staff who have contributed significantly at the times of Pandemic. We have a dedicated hospital for corona patients and have isolation facilities contributing to our country at the time of crisis. Additionally, we have launched Corona Warrior Scheme for the COVID-19 Warriors and their Wards, offering up to 50% Scholarship

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

“It is my passion to prepare students for future”

The reason for my passion or interest in the education sector is that it allows me to develop a positive difference in young people’s lives by working closely with students, faculties, and staff and guiding them to realize their true potential. 

Every day I experience magic in the classroom, witnessing the “"light bulb moment”" when a child or young person overcomes a challenge and achieves something they never thought possible. It gives me immense satisfaction and motivates me to do more and contribute towards nation-building.

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

“There are progressive changes happening in every domain and education won’t remain untouched”

With more automated, digitized, and fluid job markets, today’s higher education systems are quickly becoming incompatible. It is sometimes incomprehensible to assess how to align the ideology with the future. So, here are the changes that I see for higher education and also Rama University that we need to work on:

• Job- focussed curriculum- More jobs will require substantial interaction with technology, shaped by technological disruption, labour automation and more flexible and fluid employment and the curriculum must be evolved to match the requirements.
• One-size-fits-all is no longer true. Students increasingly adopt a consumer’s mindset and opt for flexible, seamless and personalized educational experiences. Hence the process of education needs to be customized to suit the needs of the digital-savvy students.
• Focus on “skills over degrees” model- we are slowly moving towards a reality with more focus on acquiring skills not degrees. More and more companies, including prominent ones such as Google, Apple, Penguin Random House, Ernst & Young UK and IBM, are actively shifting focus away from degrees to new ways of measuring employability as a consequence of the changing nature in the world work scenario.

Almost everything developed for the 20th-century workforce is being dismantled and reconstructed; higher education is no exception. 

What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“I believe in participative leadership”

My role is to act more like a facilitator rather than a dictator. I strive to facilitate the ideas and the sharing of information to arrive at a decision. The final decision ultimately rests on the leaders or the heads of the concerned department I am dealing with. But, all considerations and factors of a decision come from the collective mind of the group.

What do you see as RAMA University’s greatest strengths?

“We ensure to provide developmental trainings for students to be industry ready”
