Ms Revathi Balakrishnan has been in the field of tertiary education for more than a decade now. She holds M.Com.and MBA degrees. As an educator, her aim has been to tap into the latent potential of students to make them realise their vast capabilities. Interacting with students is what most energises and enthuses her for that is where she is most grounded to envision her contribution to their education and growth. The numerous invitations extended to her to speak at career counselling fora and soft skills development programs for students are a testament to her focus and commitment to help students find meaningful and successful careers. Ms Balakrishnan is particularly entrusted in making students ready for global society as they graduate. This has allowed her to forge several industry-academia collaborations to engender a certain permeability in the interaction between institutions.
SRM University-AP strives to nurture and produce ethical leaders who are both skilled and knowledgeable. The university’s mission is to impart life skills to the students so that they develop capabilities to lead organizations to success. While academics impart the necessary knowledge in the chosen domain, various other life skills are imbued through sports, cultural and other co-curricular activities to form a truly well-rounded personality. Co-curricular activities help the student to learn skills such as teamwork, leadership quality, organizing skills, networking, collaboration, and communication skills which help them throughout their life. Participation in co-curricular activities is a great way of experiential learning. It takes out the monotony of classroom teaching-learning. At SRM University, co-curricular activities are aligned according to New Education Policy (NEP) and have been made part of our curriculum by providing credits. There is a wide array of 22 clubs under following categories:
NSO Clubs
Self-Development Clubs
Academic and Professional Clubs
Arts and Cultures
Communication and Critical Thinking
These clubs conduct co-curricular activities for the students in various domains. A student can participate in any of the club activities according to his/her choice. When a student becomes part of these clubs, they recognize their potential in other areas also. It becomes self-discovery for them and opens more career opportunities.
