About

My aim is to get recognition as respected teacher, researcher, academic administrator and educationist. In my view Private Engineering / Technology Universities / Institutes must become epicenters of applied research. There are opportunities but existing framework need to be redesigned to cater industry at national & international level. Without relying only on Tution fees, Universities / Institutes must evolve Revenue model including various activities by :

  • Offering Post Graduate Professional Skill Education

  • Undertaking Applied Research from Industries / Government (DST Schemes)

  • Collaborating with eminent National/International institutes for Research & Applications

  • Developing Incubation Centre to promote entrepreneurship / startups

The solution needs many small steps. Faculty and students must be motivated to work. Initial step towards solution is strong bonding of institute with industry, forums, NGOs, Agencies. Students and faculty must get exposure to real world. There is a strong need to inculcate entrepreneurship attitude amongst student. Practically, I am enjoying all such small steps and trying to follow up. Faculty can do wonders if energy of young students is channelized and synchronized with need of industry/society.
