A Novel Kickoff For Iitk
In a few hours from now, Prof. Abhay Karandikar would receive got accuse equally Director of IIT Kanpur. Here is the bio sent past times our Dean of Faculty Affairs to the campus community inward the evening:
IIT Kanpur has lost its prestige over the in conclusion 10-15 years, but the fundamentals travel along to hold out strong. The exclusively missing ingredient has been leadership in addition to I for certain promise that the novel Director brings that inward plenty. We volition shortly know.
The immediate challenge on the campus is to enthuse all stake holders in addition to brand them believe that nosotros tin convey dorsum the one-time glory. When I had joined IITK equally a faculty, I was made to believe that I was non but an employee but an owner. That is non the feeling a lot of people receive got on campus today. And the biggest challenge for whatever IITK leader is to convert employees into owners. Once at that topographic point is plenty ownership, Director tin relax in addition to things volition happen.
But this modify volition non occur inward today's atmosphere of fearfulness when nosotros don't know whether a contestation made spell sipping tea or having dinner volition hold out taken completely out of context, exaggerated, in addition to worse volition follow. The faculty members of the Security Advisory Committee receive got been claiming that instilling fearfulness is i of their planned goals.
The minute biggest challenge volition hold out to inculcate a feeling inward all the stake holders that IITK has a time to come despite its place exterior the laissez passer on 10 cities of the country. (I am tempted to say that nosotros receive got a time to come because of our location, which hasn't changed since its inception.) Of course, every place has its positives in addition to negatives. We must larn to leverage our strengths in addition to receive got corrective steps on our weaknesses. There tin hold out plenty in addition to to a greater extent than jobs for spouses on campus, if at that topographic point is a volition to solve problems, in addition to hopefully they acquire paid to a greater extent than than unskilled workers on campus.
There is a belief on campus that nosotros could hold out either goodness inward teaching or goodness inward query in addition to goodness teaching happens at the terms of reducing fourth dimension from research. As mortal who has been bestowed amongst both teaching based awards in addition to query based awards, Prof. Karandikar is possibly the best instance of how goodness teaching in addition to goodness query tin acquire mitt inward hand. We must brand sure that our teaching programs are i time once again the best inward the country. This is quite simple. Good teachers exactly demand a give-and-take of encouragement. Tell them that goodness teaching is valued past times the leader. And the remainder volition occur magically.
External stake holders are fifty-fifty to a greater extent than of import these days. Our alumni are our best ambassadors. Relationship amongst them needs to improve. We demand to receive got a vibrant in addition to independent alumni association, fifty-fifty if they disagree amongst the Institute administration. We demand to honour those alumni who receive got worked tirelessly over a duo of decades to gear upward channels of supporting IITK from US. We must brand sure that nosotros are seen equally transparent in addition to efficient past times our donors in addition to benefactors. Remember, nosotros are dealing amongst people who receive got huge amount of affection for IITK. So the project should hold out elementary in addition to yet nosotros haven't actually done good since Prof. Sudhir Jain left piece of work inward 2008.
And nosotros can't receive got bang-up alumni relations unless the educatee experience spell they are hither is bang-up too. We receive got a bang-up infrastructure, non exactly hostels, but sports, in addition to for other educatee activities. We receive got lots of goodness things going inward academics. But at that topographic point are many irritants too. Can nosotros position modest issues in addition to receive got tending of them. Why should a educatee expect for vi months to acquire a scholarship that is due to him/her, exactly to give i example. Why should a educatee hold out running roughly all over the campus to acquire a course of teaching inward opened upward elective slot.
We demand to rest aggressive amongst faculty recruitment. Not exclusively at that topographic point are retirements in addition to resignations, but nosotros are growing too. Prof. Karandikar's experience of recruiting several faculty members inward Electrical Engineering equally Head would come upward handy here. He tin transfer that knowhow to Heads of our departments, though some departments are already doing quite well.
Overall, I believe that IIT Kanpur already has goodness students, goodness faculty in addition to goodness infrastructure. While at that topographic point tin for certain hold out farther improvements, i pregnant ingredient missing till at i time is goodness leadership. And I promise the novel Director volition render exactly that.
