My Career
I
was blessed to work in good institutions which were well recognised, created systems as honestly as possible and were known for their good practices, rigour in every academic endeavour. Each institution I worked with helped me grow as a better professional and enabled me to accept several challenges which were initially daunting for me!
Punjabi University, Patiala
P
unjabi University, Patiala, for the first time for me was an exposure to such a huge campus with well recognised departments and Research Centres. A well equipped Central Library and a number of equally well equipped libraries for every Department and Research Centre encouraged, enriched intellectual interactions and teaching-learning processes. It had a big residential complex with a good health centre and a reasonably big market for daily needs. There was a fleet of university buses to take children of every faculty member and staff to schools, colleges in the city and to help families to reach railway station, bus stand and all important parts of the city. The University was about 14 kilometers from the city.
