Teaching

As an Assistant Professor at Chaudhary Charan Singh University  Campus, Meerut, my approach to teaching is centered on fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a deep understanding of the subject matter. I believe that education is not just about transferring information — it is about inspiring students to explore, question, and realize their full potential.

In my classrooms, I emphasize interactive learning, encouraging students to engage actively with concepts through discussions, case studies, research projects, and problem-solving exercises. I aim to create an environment where students feel motivated to ask questions, challenge ideas, and think independently.

My teaching philosophy is built upon a few core principles:

• Student-Centered Learning: Every student learns differently. I adapt my methods to meet diverse learning styles and needs.

• Integration of Research and Practice: I bring the latest research and real-world examples into the classroom, bridging theory and application.

• Holistic Development: Beyond academics, I encourage the development of ethical values, leadership skills, and a sense of social responsibility.

• Continuous Growth: I view both teaching and learning as ongoing processes, where I evolve alongside my students.

Through my courses, I aspire to prepare students not only for examinations but for the larger challenges of life, empowering them to become leaders, thinkers, and innovators.
