What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector? 

Being in the education sector always gives me a sense of pleasure. The urge of getting to learn new things, the creativity that gets improvised while dealing with different types of students is what keeps me connected to the education sector. Teaching has always been my passion and I am lucky that I was able to make my passion my profession.

What should be the institute's top priority for the next 10 years? 

For the next ten years, the institute’s goal should be for the overall development of the institute. I feel that our goal should be to maximum the range of benefits we offer to our students. Improving our placements and the quality of education should also be on top of the list.

What are the biggest challenges you see, for your institute? 

Our biggest challenge came during the COVID pandemic. Holding classes online while retaining students’ attention was tough. After COVID-19 pandemic we have seen a major change in the studying habits of students. The reading habits of some students have drastically come down. We are, however, working towards improving these among our students.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth? 

I would like to suggest the current youth build a habit of reading, learn new skills and keep on upgrading themselves. We should never stop learning as life never stops teaching. Also, I would advise them to take challenges positively and transform them into opportunities.
