If qualitative education and training are something seriously desired in institutes and colleges so that standard of education and training in our institutes can be highly improved. Through visit, inspection and supervision, the inspectors and supervisors assist in improving overall performance because those managing are made more competent and efficient. Concept of supervision is a way of stimulating, guiding, improving, refreshing and encouraging and overseeing those directly involved in an institute or college. Supervision is essentially the practice of monitoring the performance, noting the merit and demerits and using befitting and amicable techniques to ameliorate the flaws while still improving on the merits thereby increasing the standard and achieving educational goals.
