Mr. Saurabh Bhagat, (IAS) delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking address, sharing his valuable insights and experiences in the field of technical education. During his speech, He stressed on Faculty Development Programmes for improvement of quality of technical education in Skill Development Department. Faculty development is essential to ensuring that our students receive the best possible technical education. Our faculty must be constantly learning and evolving in order to keep up with the latest trends in their fields. They must also be able to effectively communicate their knowledge to students in a way that is engaging and stimulating.He also stressed upon Personality Development of the Students. In today’s competitive world, it is not enough to simply have academic knowledge. Students also need to be able to develop their soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills will help them succeed in their careers and in the entire life period.
Industry-institution interaction is another important aspect of student development. By interacting with industry professionals, students can gain valuable insights into the real world and learn about the skills and knowledge that are in demand. They can also build relationships with potential employers, which can give them a head start in their careers.
I believe that all three of these areas are essential to ensuring that our students receive a high-quality technical education. I am committed to work with the faculty, students, and administration to make sure that we are doing everything we can to support faculty development, personality development, and industry institution interaction. His presence added great significance to the event and motivated all participants.
