One such suggestion by the BoG has been about how to improve external branding and positioning of the Institute.

Following the suggestion, we increased the budget on external branding and started focusing on creating on-campus student-experience. We also started focusing on parents as an important stakeholder and established good communications with them through different channels, including creating of WhatsApp group.
