As a faculty member of Nova College of Pharmacy, what are your roles and responsibilities towards the students?

We consider students to be our children, as every child has a different nature, so we deal with them in their way. We motivate and inspire them so that they can do everything that they want to do in which they are interested in future goals. We also conduct various types of activities and projects for the students to work on for their development and growth.

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

We maintain a friendly environment in the institute so that students as well as faculty feel free to discuss anything. We don’t pressure them to do work. If the work is important, faculties do it without saying anything to the dignitaries. Also, we ask students about their subject-related issues or faculties, which allows students to feel free to talk with us or dignitaries. If any concern is raised, all faculty members sit together at one time and discuss and come up with solutions to the problems. However, we establish healthy relations with the students and fellow faculty.

How do you strategize the curriculum, and how often does it get updated to make it befitting for the students?

In every way we carry, we do events, seminars, and so on. Whatever new things have come in the medical industry, it has been medicines or new technology. We inform them about it and give them more practical knowledge so that they can understand it well.

What are the best practices offered by the department to the students that help them gain the necessary skills? 

We provide internships, practical knowledge, projects and so on that will help students clarify their educational career as well as build their skills for a better future.

How do you help your student cope with the competition being so high in the outside world? 

We provide extra lectures to engage the students in the preparation of the competition in the outside world. In which we tell them what kind of questions can come in the exams, study them briefly, and solve their doubts, if any, in the class about the topics. So that they can understand the topic very well and write in their language. We also motivate them so that they can write the exam well.

When you came to the college, what was your vision, and how are you trying to achieve it?

When I came to the college, my primary focus was only the students. As I am the registrar also, I planned how I should teach them in their way so that they could understand properly. I always use new techniques to teach the students and also manage the things of the institute so that there’s nothing else to hamper. We practically did things to teach the students so that they could gain knowledge. Whenever they pass out of college or are ready to go to market, they should know particular things.

What do you see as the college’s greatest strengths, and how can they be enhanced? 

Our institute aims to provide a friendly and unique environment for the student's development and learning. We are also focused on discipline; our students must be disciplined. As the fact is, discipline is key to success We help students live with discipline for their growth and success.

What valuable advice would you like to give to the students so they can have a prosperous career ahead? 

I would like to advise the students that they should stay updated about things. Updates in the sense of jobs, exams, and news in the particular field. In today’s time, technology is also available, so students will get any information within minutes. I just suggest that students spare their valuable time and look at news, jobs, and other interesting things. Due to this, their future will be bright, and they will grow.
