A Commitment to Quality in Every Corner
Dr. Reenaa Mohan
IQAC Coordinator · Assistant Professor, Department of Community Medicine · SMVMCH, Puducherry
Quality is not an act — it is a habit. At SMVMCH, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell operates on this conviction. Since our NAAC A+ accreditation, we have redoubled our commitment to ensuring that every process — academic, administrative, and clinical — meets the highest standards of institutional excellence.
Our IQAC functions as the institutional conscience, meticulously gathering data, initiating audits, organizing faculty development workshops, coordinating AQAR submissions, and building a culture where continuous improvement is not a directive but a shared value. We bring together a diverse committee — management, faculty, students, alumni, and external experts — ensuring that the voice of every stakeholder shapes our quality initiatives.
In the academic year 2025–26, we have planned twelve targeted workshops for both teaching and non-teaching staff, covering ICT tools, AI in education, documentation practices, NIRF frameworks, and more. Our quarterly IQAC meetings ensure sustained momentum, and our internal audit cycle keeps departments accountable and growth-oriented.
I warmly invite all faculty, staff, and students to engage with IQAC's activities — not merely as compliance requirements, but as meaningful opportunities to grow, reflect, and elevate what we offer to our students and to the patients who entrust their care to us.
