What is your experience in the education industry?

“Implement quality education for the masses and to learn about new technology in the education industry” 

My father is a Railway officer and I am from a service class family. One of the words of my father strikes me a lot. That is, become a job giver instead of a job seeker. I am very much inspired by Dr. P.A Inamdar, who is a caliber and visionary man. My motivation is his struggle in life and it led me to take Animation and Media education. We can see that the education sector is changing with vast technology and there is a great scope for Animation and Media in the upcoming years.


What challenges do you face as dean of P. A. Inamdar College?

“To process a degree course in academics and find out staff for teaching”

I have no support at the beginning of the Media and Animation Course. One of the first challenges is to propose a full degree course in front of the University academic council. I started to plan the Animation degree course with study materials, credit system and more. Another difficulty is to find staff for teaching and within two months a team of few members formed. We strive hard to get attention from pupils for the enrollment of the Animation program. I got support from my family and management to lead to the growth of students every year.


How do you establish a healthy relationship with students on campus?

“Provide an environment for students that contain human values, collaboration and critical thinking”

I want to focus on both the academic and personal life of students. The youth in present society consists of several talents and a lot of them lack inspiration. My duty is to provide the right path for their dream. I always create an environment for students that contains human values, problem-solving, collaboration and critical thinking.

How do you create a student-centric environment in college?

“Allow students to choose and support the new talents at any time”

Students get freedom by interacting with all individuals on campus. We promote the choice of students instead of a traditional system. The class environment becomes friendly through open discussions held by faculty. Our campus supports pupils to begin their production with teamwork. They get assessments and mock interviews in their academic journey.


How do you integrate value-based education into the curriculum?

“Provide weekend sessions for students on campus”

Our belief is to offer the best education for youth and it influences their growth. We provide weekend sessions for each candidate. A student can understand their real gal through these Inner Engineering Classes. They deal with personal leadership, relationship and time management, Investment/Savings. 


What would be your ideal school environment?

“To attain true knowledge, and it liberates the talent of each pupil”

I always appreciate the fraternity in education that focuses on great values. A true knowledge widens the talent of candidates. It will result from hesitations and inner fears. Our students can achieve success by gaining vast knowledge and it creates miracles in the world. 


What are your goals towards the institution for the next few years?

“Decide to start proposals from several campuses to start Animation and Media Department and look for new entrepreneurs”

It is our time to expand the campus. We develop a map for next year that contains priority to Offline and online education. Our campus decided to start proposals from several campuses to start the Animation and Media Department. I am always looking for new entrepreneurs to make the campus in a new mode.

Any suggestions do you like to give for current youth?

It is necessary to manage the time and achieve the knowledge within a short time for students. Work hard and access your knowledge to achieve success.
