Few words of Wisdom to manage
an externally funded project
•In the era of self-financing PIs earn our Salary. Treat them with priority
•Now, Universities have to pay back their HEFA loans. So, whoever earns is
doing a favour to you. So serve them with humility
•Artists, Scientists are very difficult to manage, but they may be emotionally
weaker. Win them with love and respect.
•Academicians need to worry about their research and work and not about UCs
and other administrative works. Facilitate in a way that they feel supported.
In my office, any faculty can walk in and get the declaration certificates within 30
Seconds. At the end of the day I personally see that no file is on my table.
Though no one watches over me, God is watching atleast!
Because, one day delay may be someone’s ruin tomorrow. Deliver Today,
so that tomorrow is a Happy ending for someone.
Afterall we all are paid by the Tax payers hard earned money.
