Dr. R. Ramesh

You have held key positions at education institutes throughout your professional career. What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

My purpose is to take advantage of this valuable opportunity and make a contribution to the future generation. My consistent attempts and perseverance have made me academically successful. I have made a commitment to continuously mastering, upward mobility and staying abreast of modern traits, which are key elements in my growth as an expert.

How does the curriculum of Tagore Engineering College ensure the best practice of industry?

Our university’s curriculum for our students is a blend of academic, theoretical, and industrial practices. It also allows for real-time case studies, live projects, and other educational methods to ensure that our students are fully prepared to become top professionals, industrialists, managers, and leaders.

Being the Principal of Tagore Engineering College, what is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

I would describe my leadership style as highly democratic. I always strive to empower the students. I am not a strict leader since I am open to accepting, reviewing, and providing appropriate guidelines for all actions. In such a working environment, everyone learns from one another, and the entire department grows under my direction. In my opinion, in an organisation of this size, with so many staff reporting to me, empowering people and allowing them to make decisions on their own wherever possible is essential. It is my responsibility to ensure that every employee understands and values their perspectives. My teamwork, team spirit, and adjusting and understanding everything with humanity and concern are the characteristics of my leadership.

Being the Principal of Tagore Engineering College, how do you strategize about the key
programs and plans for the marketing and administration of your school?

My techniques are prioritising primary and secondary tasks according to the schedule and set agenda. When it comes to manifestation, I will focus on showing our resources and best outputs for the institution's progress. As everyone knows, social media is one of the most effective forms of advertising. Meaningful social media ads offer a choice of ad formats to play with and promote our institution’s potential weightage. Furthermore, families spend a lot of time on social media, so this is a sensible and cost-effective strategy to raise awareness and eventually increase enrolment.

What do you think your roles and responsibilities to the instructions and the students are?

My roles and responsibilities include appropriate planning and execution of plans and promoting the learning of new innovative concepts. I also look over the mentoring, monitoring, and evaluating the performance of instructors and students. In addition, we provide students with a stimulating environment in which to learn without stress. We’re also making them more devoted, advising and assigning new projects and tasks for their self-assessment.

What do you think should be the college’s top priority over the next ten years?

I believe the college must continue to provide a high-quality education in today’s competitive world. It must also work to ensure long-term, sustainable programs to support their knowledge for both survival and economic progress. We allow students and teachers to go beyond geographical boundaries to discover new ideas. The college’s objective must be to give them opportunities to become more independent while also being appreciated and embraced by all nationalities. Institutions and universities should prioritise quality learning practices, skill development, and flexible courses for integrated and multitasking employability.

What do you see as Tagore Engineering College’s greatest strengths?

Our greatest strength is to provide a good learning environment for all types of learners and treat them well. Give attention to their goals and morally support them in all of their endeavours. Even after they have completed their degree, we consider them family. We market them as resource persons. We celebrate their accomplishments since they are our institution’s greatest qualities.

The education systems in India and other foreign countries are structured very differently. In your experience, what can an inbound student gain from studying here in your institution?

When students visit foreign nations, they are not involved in specific activities, but rather their hidden skills are cultivated. When it comes to our Indian educational system, we require students to choose a specific course and work tirelessly towards it. Our institution works in tandem, prioritising academics while also organising tall hunt shows to promote multitasking skills. We fill the gaps for incoming students.

Any insights into how your university could be more welcoming to students of different races or economic backgrounds?

In my opinion, cultural diversity improves college and university learning environments. They call it multiculturalism, where people from all over the world come to live, work and learn. Colleges and universities not only offer cultural diversity, they provide a unique environment for innovation, growth, and development. I believe that our university provides an appropriate environment for students from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our organisation provides a standard integrated educational path that can be adapted to people around the world.
