What according to you are the significant changes you would like to make in the structure of Management education in India or globally?
Education is incomplete unless it has its own practical application. The college environment should be made as a virtual corporate house enabling the transfusion of corporate culture in management students. Course curriculum should be more flexible as per the changing corporate world urge. Moreover, Institute-Industry Interface must be linked with the curriculum in such a way that that a smooth pace brings readymade exposure to the students. I , personally , am focusing on the same and trying to do this at our college.
How do you look at evolving your work in the coming years?
Our dedicated team efforts are rigorously moulding up a right mix of management education well blended with interactive teaching, industrial exposures, global internship insights, overall inter & intra personal development. I am confident to see ourself as one of the leading academic establishment defining the core theme of management education. Nothing can be achieved single handed, it is always the team efforts which lead to the success of the organization. I feel that sky is the limit for me and it is my moral responsibility to take this organization flying high in a positive environment .
What according to you have been your most significant achievements this year?
My most significant achievement of this year has been, bringing a good number of placement opportunities for the students at our door step. Moreover, what makes me happier is that this year girl students being placed from campus has been increased distinctively as compared to any of the past placement records. I have made the students realized the need of a proper overall development and training for being employable or even successful in life.
Higher Education is not considered as a lucrative career for many youngsters. How do you think this would change?
Perceiving higher education as a quick action master key to get a respectful job with handsome salary was a myth for some days ago. But as the market is dynamically changing, youngsters are now realizing and deliberately exercising their efforts concisely to lead strong foundation for their career on long-term basis. With the coming years, I believe such type of strong transition could be seen very visible.
