Mrs.
Tripta Punj,
popularly known as M.D.Madam is one of the best names in the
field of engineering education, who lets her work do the talking.
To her, financial administration is a way of life and she
discharges these duties with the acumen of CA. She chooses
to pursue this profession under the guidance of her father
who pioneered Engineering and Pharmacy Education under the
most trying circumstances in Patti in those harrowing days
when population was migrating to other safer places. Well
educated, cultured and master of many soft skills, she is
a practical example of modern empowered women. Twentieth century
Feminist Virginia Woolf felt that if women were ever
to gain equality, they would have to destroy this male-based
glorified ideal of womanhood. But the sensationalized concept
of Female domesticity is still prevailing.
As such, Madam Tripta was blooming girl of 21st century; she
worked in coordination with her chairman husband Er. S.K.Punj
and took initiative to start an Engineering Polytechnic in
1996 at Badhani, nested among the hills on the Pathankot -
Dalhousie highway. Then there was no looking back, the Punj's
added Engineering College with 5 branches, Institute of Computer
Science (MCA and BCA), Pharmacy College (Both B.Pharmacy and
D.Pharmacy) and now B.Ed. and MBA is in the pipeline. The
institutes can boast of state of the art facilities and an
infrastructure comparable to international standard. The institutes
are imbued with liberal atmosphere that made the difference
and she earned the gratitude and blessings of the visiting
dignitaries and high-ups.
She emphatically says that "It
is our commitment that we will continue to strive towards
further excellence by neglected region". She is always
keen to look forward to comments and feedback for future guidance.
She attributes this phenomenal success to the Grace of god
Almighty Sri Sathaya Sai Baba. She is deeply religious
and inculcates spiritual education among the students. She
is always seen checking the achievements of the students and
keen to get their difficulties removed. In a way she insists
on Morality as established truth, teach the systematic practice
of empathy and desire to serve others. As such she has introduced
proper curriculum for value education with role model.
She
set up Institutes from scratch and made a success of it. She
is on a mission to popularize entrepreneurship for the modern
women. To go with Einstein- “Institutions are in a moral sense
impotent unless they are supported by the sense of responsibility
of living individuals”.
Madam
opines that Art helps children perform better in many areas
of life. It is a great stress-buster, helps memory, comprehension,
organization, writing, reasoning and articulation of thoughts.
Her management on cultural side is unique. The students enthusiastically
participate in cultural activities, which is a fortnightly
features. The open-air theatre is decorated like a marriage
place for the performance and supervised by a guest. They
also win prizes and medals, at various inter-university and
inter-college competitions. Almost all departments put-up
their reports and achievements in this respect.
