  • PHILOSOPHY OF LEADERSHIP:

 

Dr. Mukherjee strongly believes that a true leader is one who knows the way, shows the way and most importantly, goes the way. A leader takes people where they want to go but a great leader takes people where they don’t want to go but ought to be going. According to Dr. Mukherjee, the real role of leadership in education should never be one of command and control, rather it should be one of climate control – that is, creating a suitable climate of infinite possibilities and immense potentialities where the people would continue to evolve into the highest, truest and the very best versions of themselves.

 
  • MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S YOUTH:

“There is absolutely no dearth of talents, capabilities and potentialities in today’s youth. Always remember that the world doesn’t care and is not changed a bit by how much you know, rather it definitely gets impacted by what you decide to do with what you know. Ask yourself that what is that one problem/ issue that you would want to solve which would create a real difference in the lives of the people around you. The answer to this question would help you to ascertain the purpose of your life. Try to create a greater purpose for all that you do and stand for. Your purpose will eventually act as a strong magnet to pull people towards your vision. Your purpose will ultimately decide your destination. Follow your passion, believe in yourself and continue to dream big – and then even sky is not the limit for you.”
