Hi, I am Dhananjoy Mondal, an MBA (HR) with a B.Sc. in Mathematics, currently serving as the rector (equivalent to Principal) in a new CBSE-based school. I am seeking assistance from all of you to fulfill my role effectively. Can anybody provide suggestions on how to manage the school efficiently?

Dear Dhananjoy,
Please provide more details about your experience, the size of the school, and the problems the school faces. The more information you provide, the better. This will help experts offer you precise advice. Otherwise, we will be guessing in the dark and providing advice based on assumptions we make.

Dear Dhananjoy,
"Principal" Word itself covers the entire functions, processes, activities related to school administration, education, employee management, and the development of the school as well as the overall areas of students' personalities by which the school may produce a quality product.
As you have not mentioned your prior experience, the total number of employees in the school, the number of students, the atmosphere of the school, the type of support and backup given by top management, and the expectations of top management from you in terms of increasing the number of students, timeframe, and power to work on quality education.
If you have been in the same post earlier, then it is good for you. But if this is a new trade for you, try to contact and connect with some same profile persons known to you by any means and start setting your target for the proper development of the school by analyzing the present system and atmosphere.
Try to connect with experienced staff members, collect important information, get feedback from faculties, teachers, and related staff, have a look at parents' feedback given for the school, etc.
These actions will slowly but strongly link you to the system. As a principal, you have a big responsibility for quality education, team-building, coordination with staff, the faith of parents, and so on.
Soon you will manage the things.
Best Wishes,

When you were interviewed for this job, what questions were you asked about your skills and ability to do this job, and run a school?
Why are you asking us how to run a school when you presumably told the interview panel you could do this work? I am really struggling to understand how you obtained this job if you do not know what it is you are supposed to be doing.
If I am understanding this correctly, you have been appointed as Principal of a school, and you have almost no clue as to what you are supposed to do. I am also surmising that you have never run a school before or even been an assistant principal in a school. Is that a fair summary of the situation?
There are a few jobs I can think of that I would love to do, but do not have the qualifications, skills, or experience to do. Being a member of CiteHR has given me a wonderful insight into recruitment practices in India. I really think I should move over there as soon as possible, and then I can get my dream job easily.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but this just completely baffles me.

The unfortunate problem in India is, not all those who are capable of running a school opt to become a Principal, and not all those who are sitting as Principal are capable of running a school. In fact, I believe this to be true not only for principals but also for Presidents, prime ministers, CEOs, VPs, etc. The successful Principal or those who hold such positions are willing to learn; that quality is the most important. So, it is good that this person asked and is getting help, instead of thinking that he knows and messing up the whole thing.

Or if you have started your own school without any earlier experience thinking it as a profitable business then you must indicate. In that case you should hire professionals to run the school.

Dear Dhononjay,
I had prepared a presentation for Principals of Higher Education institutions. I will attach the same here. I am sure by ignoring the aspects of Research, you can find some useful information about your role.

One primary school student to another: "My teacher asked me such a silly question in class, she did not even know that...! ' was a joke 2 or 3 decades ago. It is today the truth in most educational institutes in India. I wish you come in here as a student, you can have a whale of a time.

Dear Dhananjoy,
CBSE schools have their own norms and affiliations bylaws. You have to go through them very carefully and meet their required requirements to run your show successfully. I have been working with a CBSE school for the last 10 years as an HR-Admin Head. If you need any help, please contact me.

Hi Dhononjay,
Hope you are doing great. To continue the same, you are not supposed to be the same as you were. Being the same will make you similar to other individuals in the same domain. To avoid being the same, you need to approach things in a different manner.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any assistance.
