What is your philosophy of leadership?

"I believe in a collaborative way of working and empowering others with my skills and experience"

Leadership for me is all about motivating your team, overcoming challenges together, involving them in goal setting and utilizing their respective skills to achieve a vision and mission. And if I talk about myself, I am always open to take up new responsibilities as a Leader and I also like to challenge myself, try new adventures and build new skills by pulling me out of my comfort zone. This helps me to keep pace with the latest trends in the education sector and pass on the same knowledge and information to my wonderful team as well as students.

What teaching pedagogies have been used by faculty members of your college to educate students?

"Faculties use case studies and organize role plays to educate students about latest technologies"

I encourage my faculty members to practice case based teaching as it helps to engage students in the process of real-world decision making. And they use case studies as an example to relate to a concept while teaching it to students and they too are encouraged to conduct research and apply their classroom learning to find innovative solutions for some real world issues. In addition to this, our teachers use the concept of role-plays to educate students beyond books and curriculum and this helps students to understand and explore realistic situations and evolve with different strategies to manage the given task.

How is your institute more welcoming to students of different races and backgrounds?

"We offer scholarships and fee waivers to bright and needy students"

Our objective is to achieve par excellence with human touch and we provide equal learning opportunities to all students irrespective of their caste, color, gender, religion or socio-economic background. Apart from this, we offer scholarships and fee concessions to students who come from economically less privileged backgrounds, weaker sections of society or have single parents etc. on the basis of their academic performance to provide them maximum opportunities for their growth.

As a Secretary of Lingaya's Lalita Devi Institute, the scope of my responsibilities is vast, challenging yet exciting at the same time and I am responsible for monitoring the academic progress of our students, motivating students’ to do better in studies by providing meaningful and progressively challenging learning experiences which include, but are not limited to self-exploration, questioning, making choices, setting goals, planning and organizing, implementing, self-evaluating and demonstrating initiative in tasks and projects. And during my day to day tasks, I came across different kinds of challenges and some of them are external in nature like lack of resources, interpersonal problems within the organization and few are internal like lack of decisiveness and impatience at times, but the good part with each of these face offs is I emerge as a better and a learned leader. I try to keep myself calm and positive even in the toughest of the situations and always open to consult my team for their suggestions.
