For his part, Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Vali Uddin said that the purpose of the award is to recognise contributions of the teachers with extraordinary skills, who through their commitment improve the quality of education and enrich the lives of their students.

“We appreciate and acknowledge educators to reward them for their overall performance and achievement. The SSUET formulated unique criteria based on Key Performance Indicators to evaluate the performance of faculty members. We try to facilitate faculty to adopt modern teaching skills and encourage them to promote research culture at the campus.”
