Our objective is to transcend conventional teaching methods and create an institution where students not only acquire academic knowledge but also cultivate practical skills, critical thinking, and ethical values. FSB is dedicated to empowering individuals to excel in their chosen fields and make meaningful contributions to society.

Managing the diverse needs of stakeholders is a pivotal aspect of my role as the Director of FSB. I prioritise open communication channels, fostering a culture of transparency and inclusivity. Regular interactions with faculty, staff, and students allow me to comprehend their concerns and expectations. For faculty, my focus is on providing a conducive working environment, supporting professional development, and acknowledging their contributions. Student needs are addressed through open-door policies, counselling services, and constructive feedback mechanisms, ensuring a harmonious and inclusive educational ecosystem.
