Future Prospects

Challenge of rising mental health

There are certain changes in the overall environment of a college education. We need to focus that how these changes will affect – students, faculty, administration, and others even today and in the future. We all can acknowledge that mental health should also be our concern in higher education. We are and will be working on how to spread the feeling of belonging in a much wider way. Shortly, after consultation with the Management, we may go for appointing a Professional Counselor or conduct workshops to interact with students and address the issue of rising mental health among the younger generation and teach them how to handle Pear Pressures.

Also to focus on what students expect from a college

A major part of the research examines how students think about going to college. Through the research, it is discovered that there must be four categories in the students –

• Those who see college just as the next step after the 12^th standard – Inertial
• Those who see college as a ladder to a job or career.
• Those who see college as a place to study new things.
• Those who see college as a chance to discover, who you are and what you might become.

We have these four categories among the students:

Thus, we collectively study our enrolled students so that we can work more strategically toward categorizing students and providing them with the appropriate structure as per their requirements.

Safe and participative environment

A college needs to create a very safe environment for the students so they can feel it is their "Second Home”. College is the only place where they get real exposure to the reality of this world. If the environment of the college is more participative then surely students will get a chance to enhance their talent. We provide them with a conducive atmosphere for growth and there is always room for innovation and improvement.

Well-advance planning

Planning in advance also ensures that how capable we are of doing everything that needs to be done and we perform better as a result. If we know there is something we need to do in the future; we will have time to be ready for it whether that is getting fitter, researching, preparing mentally, or anything else. If we don’t plan we won’t know what is going to be expected of us, and hence we are always ready for challenges as they come our way through proper planning.

Increase diversity

By adding more workshops and certificate courses, we will increase the diversity in the study and guide our students for a better future.

Implementation of NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY
