What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?
“The end result of education is to scale the skill sets and make student employable”
I have a firm belief that education should serve its purpose. It should be learning-centric. The result must meet the desired goals, i.e., to enhance the student's skill sets and make them employable. CPUH & I believe that students should be connected to the learning environment & process, regardless of the student being at the campus, or their home. Also, our faculties as researchers need to be in the lab in liaison with the stakeholders.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth and the aspiring students?
“Students must be lucid with their goals and trace path to achieve them”
Students need to evaluate their aspirations. They should focus on acquiring and learning new skills. Also, passing on the values that they have learned is essential. They should think of giving back to society. I believe that knowledge is to be acquired wherever you find it or whoever it may lie with, regardless of whether it is a private or a government University.
