From the HOD’s Desk

“You can do anything if you have enthusiasm”

-Henry Ford

In my journey of being the HOD of the MMS department, I am delighted

to say that our students have done immensely well till now. As we know,

in the current business scenario, the industry demands dynamic managers

with proficiency, vision and resourcefulness to face the challenges at

hand.

Our state-of-the-art infrastructure along with my proficient faculty

members having extensive teaching and research expertise provide plat-

form for top-notch learning. We make sure that our MMS program re

mains pertinent and will always be able to meet the changing needs of

business organizations and their managers.

Apart from academics, I expect my students to attend the various guest

lectures and seminars held by eminent industry experts. I also encourage

them to participate in various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

for the holistic development.

So with this thought, I move forward with my students towards a new

semester full of opportunities and new learnings.
