Building the nation with teachers

Q. What are the factors that draw one towards teaching?

A. The factors keep changing at different levels of education. Unfortunately, school-level teaching is stereotyped as a woman’s job because handling young children is not considered to be a part of the male’s domain. Therefore, it is comparitively easier for women to get into the education sector.

The Sixth Central Pay Commission has made much difference in the higher education sector. Today, at an entry level, an assistant professor usually gets a salary, which is much better than what was in old days, absence of which acted as a filter then. People who believed in materialism did not join this sector.

Q. What does this role entail?

A. For many, teaching is not a preferred profession. However, to be in this sector one has to possess a firm belief in academics. It is not just about being in the world of books, but it entails thinking, sharing, the desire to teach and valuing feedback from learners. Poeple interested in research work often join the industry. Along with patience that research requires, there should be inspiration and desire to work.

If one aspires to be a school teacher, one needs to empathise with children and should be willing to work with them. People who are not very comfortable with children would not want to enter the profession. Training teachers programme can teach the maxium but senstivity towards with students’ need has to come from within. Click here to read more...

Quality is the best policy

Q. What was the thought process behind the brand ‘Rockland’?  

A. We started with the vision of building Rockland as the most trusted healthcare brand nationally and internationally. Our aim was to provide quality services at the most reasonable rates. Establishing a brand is a gradual, tenuous process that requires perseverance, respect for people and high quality standardised services.

Q. Has Rockland been able to meet the requirements of its customers and employees? How correct is the perception that private hospitals are too expensive today? 

A. Rockland has not only been innovative in providing world-class facilities to its customers but also in providing a healthy work environment to its employees. A secure environment that ensures growth of the individual employee through training and other programmes also helps the organisation grow. We lay emphasis on the need to attract and retain our employees for a long period of time. Click here to read full interview...
