Being the principal of your college, what is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

My nature is always supportive. I worked for 14 years as a lecturer, and as a principal so I knew what problems come in front of my staff. So, I always try to support my staff and my students. Apart from that in a world that is changing quickly, I think it is crucial to be adaptable and to continue learning. I support a culture that values innovation, lifelong learning, and adopting new technologies. Also, I am a very ethical person so I promote a culture of transparency. I try to ensure there will be no politics between teachers, staff, and everyone.

How does the curriculum of your college ensure the best practice of industry?

We follow the same curriculum that is followed by other colleges. But the difference is that we always take feedback from our students. Because it is necessary for us to understand what we provide them or what we teach them. We took them for an industry visit. There was also a guest lecture in which we invited experts who had great knowledge, high intellect, and experience in the industry.

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

Our college supports diversity, respects all students, economic circumstances, and awards scholarships in accordance with legal requirements. We provide them with a scholarship which is provided by the government of Maharashtra as per the category. Our free admission to the students who come under the category of backward classes. 

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

My responsibility and obligations to my pupils as a principal are to give them the education they deserve, both from an academic and professional standpoint. I have always thought that my students are the best in India. In addition, I worked hard and made every effort to give them the chance to participate in academic activities outside of those held on the college campus. For every student, I think that social, and extracurricular activities are just as vital as academic ones.
