The key factor to keep me connected to the education domain is the respect from the society 

There are many key factors which keep me connected with the education sector, but the most important one is the respect which I get from society as an educator. Secondly, I feel it’s a great opportunity to mould the career in a better way, of so many budding engineers. It gives me immense pleasure when I see them placed in good companies and fulfilling their dreams. Education sector is the only profession which can serve the entire society and contribute towards it. We are sharing our knowledge to enlighten the society by educating the youth of the society as per demand of the industry and preparing them industry ready.

I believe that decisions should be made based on the inputs of each member of the organization

I believe in democratic leadership style where the decisions are based on the input of each member of the organization. This brings the sense of belonging amongst the employees towards the organization.

The most effective strategy is to impart quality education to our students and facilitate them with best placement opportunities

One of the most effective strategies to get a good reputation in society is imparting quality education to our students and facilitating them with best placement opportunities. Our students, parents, alumni working in top MNCs and other prestigious Govt organizations across the world are the medium to publicise the good image of our institution in the society.We always focus on the overall development of our students, which in turn makes them capable to grab the placement opportunities in top MNCs, Govt.and Public sectors and also to become successful entrepreneurs.
