Excerpts from our exclusive interview with her:
Q1) Hello Doctor, As we know you have multiple responsibilities, Please describe/outline your typical day? & how many hours a day do you work on average?
Being a spiritually grounded person, I start off my day with meditation and morning prayers. I am basically a workaholic person. I work for around 14 hours in a day, that too quite happily, energetically and passionately.
Q2) Can you please tell us; What was the main factor to make STEM World School, 2nd best position on the list of International Day School in West Bengal?
Setting up the first STEM School in West Bengal as the Founder Principal was definitely not a very easy task. However, the activity-oriented teaching-learning process, experiential learning, a stress-free curriculum resulted in the increased happiness quotient of the children. Continuous professional development of the teachers also resulted in the empowerment of the teachers who are the real enablers and influencers of a robust and progressive educational system.
Q3) What is your greatest fear, and how do you manage fear?
I am an extremely positive and optimistic person who believes that everything happens for a reason. I am not scared or apprehensive about anything in life and accept life happily the way it is.
Q4) Did pandemic (COVID 19) affect your work? If yes how?
After working for more than 20 years in the school education sector in numerous senior capacities and roles, it was during the pandemic that I had stepped into the higher education domain and had taken charge as the Director of School of Education and Dean – Students Affairs at one of the premiere universities of repute in eastern India.
Q5) What piece of advice would you give to college graduates?
The world does not care how much you know, rather the world cares about what you do with what you know. And for that, it is extremely important to realize why you do what you do.
Try to find out a greater purpose behind all that you do and your purpose will act as a strong magnet to pull you as well as others towards your vision.
