You have held key positions at education institutes throughout your professional career. What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“People also need information literacy"

My Passion towards Information literacy – In my opinion, Education is entering the digital era, where being able to read and write is simply not enough. People also need information literacy, which is the capacity to make sense of information and data. Secondly, I think that a career in the educational sector enables us to make full use of our talent i.e. Application of Talents is justified here.

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?

"Our mode of education focuses more on theory rather than practical solely"

As our institutional group is providing multiple courses and specializations to students hence student gets better exposure here 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 practicality solely.

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

"Autonomous and Deemed Universities have the flexibility to include Industry Electives as a part of their curriculum"

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

"The key ingredients in promoting cultural diversity and awareness is to make tolerance and inclusion a priority"

One of the key ingredients in promoting cultural diversity and awareness is to make tolerance and inclusion a priority. Establishing school-wide policies that outline student and faculty conduct is one way to make it clear that discriminatory and harassing behavior is not welcome. Another way teachers can honor cultural differences is by letting students from different cultures be experts. Teaching other students about traditions, explaining the history and geography of countries and 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 to the University and the students are?

"Ensuring participation in ordinary and expert discussions concerning the institute management"

I have a remarkable duty regarding the administration of the school apart from occasionally taking up teaching at my convenience. The majority of the obligations have checks to the administrative and instructional roles, Ensuring participation in ordinary and expert discussions concerning 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 and special education programs and examinations, resolve staff issues, support maintenance of offices and institution properties, assist administration, and oversee the arrangement of transportation for students, to operate the institution according to nearby, state, and national regulations, and also work intimately with educational communities. 

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

"Marks are gradually losing their prominence and subject knowledge is becoming a demanding aspect"

No longer can students just pass with high grades and no understanding of the subjects. Marks are gradually losing their prominence and subject knowledge is becoming a demanding aspect. Institutions, thus, need to focus on engagement and retention more than results and advancement. Without knowledge of depth, students will struggle later.

Future technology-If the idea is to get students ready for the future, then 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 such areas that are slowly taking hold. The foundation of future technology must be built in schools. 

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 curricula- Preparing a student for a global world cannot happen with a local curriculum. Hence the best institutions in India include a global program along with a domestic syllabus where students get the opportunity to reap the benefits of both worlds. The international curriculum needs more penetration. Big push on Skills India. Everyone agrees jobs are a problem, but nobody has given the right solution. The solution to jobs is not to give 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.
