- Need to talk with parents and give them proper response so that they understand what their wards have done.
- By regular assessment of all teachers.
- Mentoring them.
- Solving their problems from time to time.
- Training
I am a small town boy, MBA in Marketing, with more than 5 years of corporate experience with companies like Reliance Retail, Essar Telecom and have moved to lot of cities during my Education and work time since childhood.This has given me great perspective into independent thinking and interacting with people from different places and background.I work with passion in any thing that I do and it has been my biggest strength so far.
I got an opportunity to deal with nice people and the general sense has been good.
As I have mentioned above, I have moved a lot across cities since childhood and have always felt the need and responsibility to do something better for my hometown (could not get good opportunities and guidance in my childhood in Hardoi, and things could have been different for me).School is just a start in that direction. My understanding is that children from small towns are more street smart and better than people from Metros or big towns, but they are not that much polished due to lack of proper platform and lag behind in things. I really want to change that in Hardoi.
I think learning has to be centeredaround the students.
Discipline is most important thing for a student. I feel if you are self-disciplined, the learning process in life gets easier. As far as teachers are concerned they are the back bone of any educational system and with changing times we all need to concentrate on the basics and liberalization of education. We all have to understand that the students are there to take something and we are the provider. The teachers have to be very particular in each and every action, what they are doing, as the students always follow that. I feel that the school management must felicitate the teachers, for everything they deserve for their motivation.
The school must come forward for every little problem that arises from time to time as I personally feel that if the problem is attended to at the earliest, the results are likely to be more favorable.
Failure is a learning process and motivation to do better. Success is a travel time between bad and good days.
To be a successful businessman and finally produce movies in Bollywood.
Disciplined, English speaking culture and kids pursuing their passion and learning new skills regularly
Business- DhirubhaiAmbani, Bollywood- Shahrukh Khan, Personal Life- Gandhi Ji.
Passionate about anything that I do and good ground level research along with networking in that particular field.
Deal structured at right price point. New setup, giving me more attention as a startup school in comparison to other brands. Nice people to deal with.
I am very emotional and don’t leave things to chance.Unless I have done it perfectly, I will keep thinking about it even after 2-3 years, no matter how small it is.
I don’t expect anyone from outside to send their kid to Hardoi, but it would be a best school to work for 5 years down the line considering the salary, Organisation Culture and work satisfaction people will get.
Except for sports I like everything, theatre is my main interest area, I really like travelling and meeting new people.
Whatever you do in your life, do it with passion and follow your heart, don’t take unnecessary family pressure or peer pressure.
