Greetings !!!
Professor Abhishek Mishra, the former Vice-President, SSTC was a man with foresight and vision . He was an educationalist who not only believed in making the students learned but also educated. His endeavor was to create an Institute that will provide a space for free and uninhibited thinking where faculty and students can experiment with novel ideas without the fear of failure. Inventions and innovations were the key concepts on which he wanted to lay the foundation of SSTC. In this mission, his one of the most important step was the Introduction of Outcome Based Learning in which he emphasized on the need to think and design the outcome of learning. It was a serious attempt to design the practical approach to theoretical learning in the current scenario and his next step was introduction of EDRP system to minimize the informational space and bring transparency in the working system .
As a technocrat, he left no stone unturned to promote research and learning, establishment of labs, performing of experiments and sponsoring the students for big projects like NASA. He was a true visionary whose sole aim was to provide a platform for all round development of the students. ‘SAMVID’ the techno-cultural management fest is the result of his vision.
He possessed all the traits of a successful entrepreneur who always followed an open door policy and every individual was welcomed to give and take suggestion for better functioning. As a team leader he always boosted the spirits of his team by acknowledging their good work. He always use to say," We want all of us to work together to proceed as far as our vision, mission, talents, resources and dreams lead us. It is only with teamwork, we can march onward and upward."
Professor Abhishek Mishra understood that the success of any professional higher educational institute is often calculated by the success ratio of students getting placed in good companies. He was successful in bringing numerous renowned companies during his tenure.
His vision was not only confined to organizational development but this versatile personality also worked for the upliftment of Chhattisgarh State to a global platform through sports and entertainment. He produced many films and documentary movies. He was also the owner of a tennis team Raipur Rangers. Due to his contribution in the sports field, he was chosen as one of the executive member of Chhattisgarh Olympic Association, recognized by Directorate of Sports and Youth Welfare, Government of Chhattisgarh.
His efforts and contribution demonstrates how concerned individuals can make the difference in providing the best and take a giant step further in to the future. His farsighted vision as a technocrat is at the very heart of all that we do.
In a nutshell, he was a dreamer who tuned in with the lines -
"खोल दे पंख मेरे परिंदा कहता है,
अभी और उड़ान बाकी है!
ज़मी नही है मंजिल मेरी,
अभी पूरा असमाँ बाकी है। "
