Why I am contesting

To contribute constructively to ISTE and strengthen the connection between the Society and its members.

I am honoured to contest for election to the Executive Council of ISTE from the Tamil Nadu Section for the term 2027–2031.

As an academician working in teaching, research, academic administration and institutional development, I have had the opportunity to work closely with students and faculty and to understand the aspirations of institutions across different settings.

Coming from a rural region, I particularly value the contribution of institutions beyond major academic centres. I would like to bring this broader perspective to the National Executive Council.

“An ISTE where every member feels connected, every institution feels represented, and every generation of technical educators finds an opportunity to learn, contribute and grow.”

Let us make ISTE vibrant again

My campaign is built around four simple ideas.

VIBRANT

More active engagement among members, Sections and Chapters.

INCLUSIVE

Greater recognition of institutions and educators across regions.

RESPONSIVE

Better communication and stronger connection with members.

FUTURE-READY

Greater focus on innovation, emerging technologies and changing industry needs.

My Key Priorities

Areas where I would like to contribute if elected.

01

Member Engagement

Stronger communication, active participation and a more responsive ISTE.

02

Faculty Development

Accessible FDPs, workshops, training programmes and professional growth opportunities.

03

Students & Young Faculty

04

Wider Regional Representation

A stronger voice for institutions beyond major cities, including rural and semi-urban regions.

05

Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Promoting research translation, innovation and startup-oriented initiatives.

06

Academia–Industry–Society Connect

Building meaningful collaboration among educational institutions, industry, government and society.
