Ms. Shivani’s experience in the education sector

My four years in the education sector have been quite positive and promising. The best part of being in this sector is knowledge sharing and knowledge acquisition. The greatness of this sphere is the paramount obligation enjoined on teaching fraternity to produce the potential torch-bearers by imparting them holistic education as well as instilling in them ethical values to lay down a bedrock or morality on which the nation grows in all sphere. The role of a professor today is not confined to the classroom but has expanded to involve the students with various activities such as visiting the courts, organising legal aid camps etc. which makes the profession yet more interesting and challenging at the same time.
