Teacher’s day celebration
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited." –Plutarch
The institute organized “Teachers’ Day Celebration” on 5th September, 2010. The inauguration of this function was done by the Director Dr.K.N.Sheth. He believes in the words of Peter Drucker that “Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach.
Some students gave speech and took classes on teachers’ day. The function ended with a small get together party and declaration of the results of the teachers’ day competition. The winners of the event are:
Our institute has been following the tradition of teachers parents meet.
The Teachers Parents meet is essential for both the teachers and parents, because our holistic incorporated performance of each student is reviewed by care takers-the institute and the parents.
The basic Purpose behind organizing such meet - The actual answer sheets as well as subject wise attendance record were shown to them by the coordinator of respective department on 25/10/2010. This is just to inform Parents so that they can take needful action for improving the result of their ward.
