6.1.2 Effective leadership is reflected in various institutional practices such as decentralization and participative management

Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies, Student Council along with Academic Council is a good example of decentralization and participative management.

Believing in decentralization the management discusses the ideas related to academic goals, organizational progression and better campus with Principal. The Principal is assisted by the members of Academic Council, various committees and students council which is managed by student council faculty head under the guidance of Dean Academics. Student council at LPCPS has nearly 150 students which consist of LTF (LPCPS Task Force) and College Clubs. LPCPS Task Force (LTF) is further sub- divided into:

1. LTF Management
2. LTF Discipline
3. LTF Academics
4. CR Male
5. CR Female

LTF head and Club student heads position is occupied by a student from final year programme supporting them are members from each class. CR male and CR female are also part of LTF for overall coordination. To be member of LPCPS Task Force and distinctive clubs students need to present themself before panel of judges and have to qualify judgment round. These positions under student council are especially aimed at helping students to get involved and find their own niche on their college campus.

So each committee member including student council actively participate in planning and executing all activities.
