Mock Peer Team Visit – 13th July 2024

Gokhale Education Society (GES) has a longstanding tradition of supporting, guiding, and motivating its affiliated units in all their endeavours.

The team was comprised of esteemed members including the Chairperson of GES, Dr. Mrs. Suhasini Sant, Vice Principal Dr. Leena Bhat, Principal Dr. Sandhya Khedekar, along with Dr. Mahesh Auti and Dr. Sharma.

The exercise began at 10:30 am and continued rigorously until 5 pm. Throughout the day, the team meticulously examined each document, ensuring nothing was overlooked. They provided invaluable feedback, suggesting necessary changes and highlighting areas requiring immediate attention. Their insights and recommendations were instrumental in identifying aspects of our operations that needed improvement.

This exhaustive review session not only aimed to identify weaknesses but also to build upon our strengths. The mock peer team’s visit was an enlightening experience that helped us transition from a good institution to a better one, and ultimately, towards achieving excellence. Their dedication and thorough approach have left us with a clear path to follow, ensuring that we continue to strive for the highest standards in education and administration.

Dr. Pranav Ratnaparkhi, In-charge, GES-NAAC Committee & Coordinator, IQAC, HPT Arts & RYK Science College, Nashik organised the whole event. He was expected to join the team, but unfortunately due to certain unavoidable circumstances he had to skip the visit.
