This academic year has been an extraordinary
                                                          challenge on account of COVID-19. However, the pandemic
                                                          gave  an  opportunity  world-wide  to  rethink  and  reassess  the
                                                          strategies for higher education. Times of crisis ought to inspire
                                                          creativity, critical re ection, transformation and renewal. In the
                                                          new normal, the challenge is to adapt, regenerate a position of
                                                          the college for a strong and sustainable future striving for a
                                                          vibrant and dynamic academic atmosphere which is a
                                                          wholesome and holistic exercise.
                                                          This calls for the integration of students in the qualitative
                                                          processes of the college. It  necessitates  an innovation
                                                          ecosystem to hone the skills of students in diverse programs to
                                                          mould them to become notable changemakers of the society.
                                                          The aim is to make learning an enriching, ful lling and
                                                          enjoyable experience through a multidisciplinary approach,
                                                          combining theory and practice in pedagogy. The focus should
                                                          be on not only what is taught but also the “way it is taught”.
                                                          Research  being  an  important  pillar  of  academic  growth,  the
                                                          thrust has to be on socially relevant, locally need-based,
                                                          nationally important and globally signi cant research
                                                          initiatives. Creating fertile ground for e ective synergies
                                                          between research and teaching skills, nurturing and fostering
                                                          critical thinking and problem-solving among students is
                                                          imperative. Hence our persistent e orts must be to leverage the
                                                          intellectual and emotional capabilities of students, encourage
                                                          the free and spirited exchange of ideas to celebrate diversity,
                                                          while ensuring inclusivity. It should be our collective endeavor
                 Dr. B.B.Waphare                          to promote an inspirational, motivational, value-based
                Principal, MIT ACSC                       academic and administrative environment. Our earnest attempt
                                                          should    be   towards    upholding   academic    integrity,
                                                          accountability, sustaining open and transparent systems and
                                                          being sensitive to social responsibilities. This could be possible
                                                          only through a collaborative, shared and consultative work
                                                          culture. Building on the strong foundation of the college, let us
