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

“The dedication to the profession of Pharmacy, Healthcare sector and mankind”

The service provided by the pharmacist to the citizens is some key factors that keep me connected with the education sector. The importance health care centers acquire towards each individual of the Nation and the ability to continuously contribute towards the betterment of the society keeps me associated with the educational sector.

What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“Decision making with team involvement and participative discussions over every topic”

My philosophy is to let people work freely once the target has been set and let them come with the difficulties or shortcoming which will be addressed as teamwork. Democratic leadership to gain various innovative ideas for improving the institute in every sector is my working style with managing leadership for all.

How do you strategize about the key programs and plans for the marketing and administration of your school?

“Innovative strategies implemented by the students and faculties to create awareness among the crowd”

Although the institute is established in 2004, I don’t think marketing is required further as we are successful in making our own identity as far as quality education is concerned, however, we do believe in giving short presentations in schools to guide the upcoming pharmacists. Now, the students and faculty together work to create a better marketing strategy for the institute through a digital platform of knowledge.

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/ university/ school?

“Medical research of the medicines of other countries to gain learning of the World”

The pharmacy profession in India covers all broader aspects of the healthcare sector which are well recognized all over. The students over here via practical and theory classes learn the basics of pharmacy from grass root level which can be justified through our placements worldwide.
