What are your roles and responsibilities towards the students?

My role is to build the foundation and provide more advanced knowledge in the concerned subject. I assess student understanding and also monitor the academic progress of the students through various means, including Class Tests and Pre-University Examinations. I also serve as a mentor of a particular class as college students often need guidance and mentorship as they navigate their academic and career paths. I also encourage student participation in various college cultural programs and competitions and also in academics events like conferences, seminars, and workshops.

How do you establish healthy relations with students and fellow faculty?

For creating a positive and productive academic environment, it is necessary to have healthy relationship with students and colleagues and this can be done by developing mutual trust so that they can rely on me. I actively participate in all the college programs and events as these platforms provide a platform to connect with students and my colleagues on an individual level and provide guidance and support when needed. 

How do you introduce a practical and industry oriented approach towards subjects?

Emphasis is given on laboratory work so as to provide students with practical experience in applying theoretical concepts as laboratory learning provides opportunities for students to relate and reinforce the theoretical concepts taught in class. We also organize Industrial visits so as to provide students an insight into the real working environment and interact with highly trained and experienced personnel which give better understanding of theoretical topics in the syllabus. In this session various industrial visits were organized like Jaipur Dairy, CIPETetc. 

How do you strategize and update the curriculum to make it befitting for the students?

We break the syllabus into smaller topics for easy understanding. We identify key concepts and skills that students will need at each level. We also provide notes in easy language rather than book language. Important questions are also provided to students from each unit. As our college is affiliated to University of Rajasthan so updating of the syllabus is done by the university itself. This year they have implemented New Education Policy and changed undergraduate program into semester scheme.

Which challenges are you facing to uplift the quality of education of your Department?

First challenge is limited access to research facilities like modern laboratory equipment, chemicals, and teaching materials which can hinder the opportunities to engage students in research activities which are necessary for conducting effective experiments and practical demonstrations in chemistry. Teachers can improve the quality of education by improving themselves as teachers. Second challenge is proper training of teachers which is important to make them responsible for their work as more trained teachers in the education system can make a huge difference. Third challenge is to design and redesign the curriculum according to the current situation to fulfill the future needs.
