Parents Meet was held at DPU - Global Business School and Research Centre (GBSRC) campus on 17th December 2022 to connect with the parents. The event focused on explaining academic progress, current curriculum goals and teaching strategies. Large number of parents and local guardians participated in this event. The event was chaired by the Director- GBSRC, Dr. Chetan Chaudhari who gave the welcome address to the parents and briefed them about various activities that are held in an academic year and urged all to give honest feedback on areas of improvement.
As an Institute, we not only focus on Academics but also work on improving different set of skills and social aspects of a student. The MBA-I Overall Coordinator of GBSRC, Dr. Harshal Raje told the parents that apart from the regular college curriculum the college also emphasizes on holistic development of the students and arranges Conferences, Certification Courses to bridge industry-academic gap, Grooming Sessions, Counselling Sessions, Mock Interviews to develop Soft Skills, and Remedial Sessions for Slow learners. Dr. Prashant Kalshetti, Head of Department- BBA detailed the parents about activities conducted for BBA students. The parents applauded over the efforts taken by the Institute to impart valuable skills to their wards like Edx courses without charging any extra fees. After these speeches the Coordinator of the Event, Prof Rutuja Patil facilitated and moderated open discussion between all faculties and parents so that every parent’s query was addressed. It was iterated by the faculties that attendance plays an important role in student’s development, as the students miss out on skill-building activities if they do not attend those extra sessions. The faculties also appreciated the dynamic attitude of the students who juggle between academics and extracurricular activities and assured the parents that this will help to develop their personality for the better.
Feedback Forms were also floated amongst the parents and detailed advice was received from the parents. The parents agreed that this meet helped them to understand what all activities are being held in the Institute, and now it will be easier for them to follow up with their wards to stay updated. The Parents were also encouraged to login to College ERP to stay updated about college proceedings. The session ended on a happy note with parents interacting freely with their respective ward’s class coordinators over Hi-Tea to discuss the activities and academic progress of their own ward who is evaluated through regular assessments, assignments and observation. This meet was a huge success as it worked as a bridge between parents and teachers to mutually cooperate to identify further steps that should be taken so that students can get most out of his/her MBA/ BBA programme.
