Today, classrooms have become centers for collaborative and comprehensive learning that would enhance the learning curve and prepare the student engineers for challenging roles in the future. Therefore, there is a constant need to update and improvise. We, as educators also need to learn, un-learn and re-learn to remain contemporary and fill the need gaps in learning.I constantly encourage our group colleges’ Principals to conductmore number of programseven above what is necessary to enhance the skills of the teaching faculty in their respective fields which would pave the way to the life-enrichment of the students.I am sure that with the enthusiasm and passion with which the entire team is working, this year we will have lot of wonderful programs in our group.

Usually we provide appropriate value added courses and employability skills trainings to all the students from our Training and Placement Cell. By understanding the increasing challenges for the engineering community, we decided to focus more on this part. Hence, we started a separate Training Department which is directly utilizing the knowledge of HRs and training personnel of the leading Indian and international companies. I thank those scholars for coming to our college and sharing their expertise.

Plainly speaking, opportunities today are for those who aim at understanding and implementing excellence in its broadest sense. Ambition is the fuel of achievement. For sure, we at SSGOI, aim to provide students with leadership, management, communication skills and professional ethics to serve as a foundation for future development and career success stories.
