For an institution such as ours to retain the dynamism and remain in demand the key is to reinvent oneself. For a progressive institution to grow and develop it is imperative that it must introspect, reinvent and find new challenging paths. The college was awarded Autonomous status for a period of ten years. The college adopted the NEP curriculum which has given wings to the students.
In this fast-changing era, I think that the person who needs to adapt the most is – the teacher. It is the job of teachers to turn sleepy faces into curious ones, make teaching fun and mainly be that teacher we all have who we remember fondly all our lives. The trick to become that teacher is the human connect — connection with the heart of students. The red pen given to us is very powerful — it can leave brutal scars or elevate self-esteems, so let’s use it wisely. Technologies will change, Apps will come and go but it’s us, the teachers, that will make a difference. Let’s learn students’ names, laugh with them, be kind and empathetic to them and make them self-confident women ready to take on the world.
The college initiated many new projects for the teachers that can change lives like the mentoring project and Diversity and Inclusion training for the teachers.
I feel indebted to the management for always supporting all our causes and inspiring me personally to aim higher. We all are blessed to live the vision of the college — “to Enlighten and Empower Women to Enhance the Quality of Society”.
