That is, Application of Talents is justified here.

Being the principal of  Puran Murti Campus, what is your philosophy of leadership and describe your leadership style?

I personally prefer democratic style of leadership instead of authoritarianism. I think that every a school leader or authority must adopt a vision. They believe to encompasses the best teaching practices and most valuable learning goals. We must demonstrate that their vision aligns with the core values and ideas of their teachers. I always demonstrate that the goals they want to achievements are important.

Being the principal of  Puran Murti Campus, how do you strategize about the key programs and plans for the marketing and administration?

“Redesign websites, build email workflows and invest on social media are our marketing plans for campus”

I think as far as actual marketing activities in school are concerned, the principal play a key role in promoting and implementing these activities either personally or through other staff members. My marketing strategies for my school includes redesigning of website, building email workflows, investing in consistent and meaningful social media ads along with starting school blog and a lot more in this direction.

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 institute?

“Provide multiple courses, and theoretical classes for pupils”

Our institutional group is providing multiple courses and specializations to students. Hence, students get better exposure as compared to others with limited courses. It will directly make an impact on the job opportunities for our students. Our mode of education focuses more on theory rather than practical solely.

How does the curriculum of Puran Murti Campus ensure the best practice of industry?

In today’s educational system, the participation of industries in curriculum design and delivery at institutions/universities it is very much essential. It prepares the students for employment. This will bridge the gap between the industry and institutions. It will enable the students to become industry ready. While designing the curriculum, the industries and academic institutions carefully choose the components to be included. The Autonomous and Deemed Universities have the flexibility to include Industry Electives as a part of their curriculum. Well known and popular industries design their own courses as per their needs. It also offer them as Electives to higher semester students.

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

“Teach about traditions, history, regions and share cultural experiences with students”

One of the key ingredients in promoting cultural diversity and awareness is to make tolerance Or inclusion a priority. Establishing school-wide policies outline student and faculty conduct is one way. It makes clear that discriminatory and harassing behavior is not welcome. Another way teachers can honor cultural differences is by letting students from different cultures be the expert. Teaching other students about traditions, explaining the history and geography of countries, regions, and sharing cultural experiences are some ways to let these students know they are valued and welcome.

What do you think your roles and responsibilities are to the Puran Murti Campus and students?

“Organize special education programs, examinations, support administration of campus and students”

I have a remarkable duty regarding the administration of the school apart from occasionally taking up teaching as per my convenience. Majority of the obligations has check to the administrative and instructional roles. We ensure participation in ordinary and expert discussions with respect to the institute management, staff appraisals, student management, and yearly reports. Analyzing marketing tips to endorse the school brand is essential in acquiring desired student enrolments and standards. Bearing a vital responsibility to incorporate normal or special education programs and examinations, resolve staff issues, support maintenance of institution properties, assist administration, and oversee the arrangement of transportation for students. We operate the institution according to nearby, state, and national regulations. Our campus also works intimately with educational communities. 

What do you think should be the University’s top priority over the next 10 years?

“Future technology, softs skills and subject knowledge are our top priorities for campus”

Priorities are as Subject knowledge, future technology and soft skills for pupils. No longer can students just pass with high grades. Marks are gradually losing their prominence and subject knowledge is becoming the demanding aspect. Institutions need to focus on engagement and retention more than results and advancement. Without knowledge of depth, students will struggle later. Future technology is the idea to get students ready for the future, and teaching present technology only will not complete the job. Along with computer programming, students must gain exposure to robotics, 3D printing, data science, cloud computing, and other areas. The foundation of future technology must be built in schools through Soft skills. Proficiency in mathematics or literature is known as a hard skill. Critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving are placed under soft skills. At a time when recruiting companies are stressing the need for emotional intelligence, institutions of the 21st century have to prioritize soft skills. Workshops and events are great ways to build these International curriculum. Preparing a student for a global world cannot happen with a local curriculum. Hence the best institutions of India include a global program along with the domestic syllabus where students get the opportunity to reap the benefits of both worlds. The international curriculum needs more penetration push on Skills India. Everyone agrees jobs are a problem, but nobody has given a right solution. The solution to jobs is not giving some income to everyone. It has to be solved by a big push on a whole new program for skills. There has to be a national registrar of skills connected to your Aadhar. The entire population, along with all colleges and bonafide training institutes should be added. It can only be done by institutions and schools by imparting skillful education.

When you first came to PMC, what was your vision for the university?

“To prepare comprehensive plans, institution policies, investments and performance of campus”

When I step in this field, my vision includes to develop and execute the institution’s strategies in order to attain the goals of the management. We provide strategic advice to the seeking authorities. So, they will have an accurate view of the market and the institution’s future. We prepare and implement comprehensive business plans to facilitate achievement by planning cost-effective operations and development activities. Our vision is to ensure institutions policies and legal guidelines are communicated all the way from the top down. These are followed at all times to oversee the institution’s financial performance, investments and other business ventures. 

To delegate responsibilities, we supervise the work of executives providing guidance and motivation to drive maximum performance. We read all submitted reports by lower rank managers to reward performance, prevent issues and resolve problems. Analyzing problematic situations, occurrences and providing solutions to ensure institution survival and growth.
