What are your responsibilities towards the students of this college?
“To enable students and administrative members with clear communication and comprehensive education”
Being a coordinator of the Journalism Department, my job is to maintain the highest quality of teaching. I always try to encourage students to interact with the teachers and vice-versa. This communication mostly helps the students who are introverts and have difficulty communicating their academic issues. It is also my responsibility to ensure equal and productive distribution of the syllabus in separate semesters. The flexible policy is a key factor in today’s dynamic education scenario.

“Allowing them to express their concerns constructively has helped in this area”
I’m very comfortable with all my fellow faculties within my college. We frequently discuss many education-related topics like our syllabus, different curriculums, problems regarding teaching or students’ performance etc. On the other hand, I’m approachable to all my students and always try to make them comfortable in the academic setting.
What are the best practices offered by the department to the students?

What are the challenges you are facing to uplift the quality of education of your department?
“The presence of Red-Tapism is a prevalent issue hindering academic growth”
The major challenge is the official protocol and the layer of instruction we have to follow every time before implementing any new system into our curriculum. I think it is important to have more flexibility in the modern education system. We wish to have a degree of authority to make small but significant changes in the education curriculum.
