In a teaching institution it is necessary that there should be a good rapport between the teacher and the taught. They should be able to freely communicate with each other and must understand and appreciate each other's view-point not only on academic matters
but in matters of general interest as well.

A few salient features of the scheme are:

The newly admitted first year students are divided into groups, each of about 10 students. Each of these groups is assigned to a faculty member to be known as their adviser. These advisers advise the students on their academic matters and monitor their academic
performance. They also, to the extent possible, cover personal problems of their students. Students are encouraged to contact their adviser whenever they feel necessary.

Once in a semester every student can invite one of his teachers and his/her spouse for dinner/lunch in his/her hostel. The expenditure is borne by the scheme. For the purpose of promoting interaction, the scheme also provides funds to the departmental professional societies. Any student or teacher can submit a proposal which will strengthen the student-teacher interaction. If approved, any reasonable expenditure involved will be shared by the scheme. The scheme also encourages combined student-teacher functions.
