Governance, leadership and management

Overview

The Criterion 6 governance, leadership, and management of the NAAC- (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) accreditation focuses on an institution's governance, leadership, and management structures. It evaluates how effectively an institution is managed, the leadership roles and responsibilities, and how these elements contribute to the overall functioning and continuous improvement of the institution. This criterion highlights the importance of institutional autonomy, decision-making processes, strategic planning, and the quality of leadership in creating a supportive and conducive environment for academic and administrative success. The quality of governance and management structures directly impacts the institution's ability to achieve its vision, mission, and goals while maintaining a focus on quality assurance, resource optimization, and stakeholder satisfaction.
