CONTRIBUTION TO HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMEMNT
After becoming Chairman Physics Department in May 1995 I
initiated a program of grooming
talented students (through extra lectures and coaching) so that they could compete and win foreign
scholarships. Owing to my efforts PU Physics students have won about 40 fellowships
(worth 3 million US $ approx.) since 1999. This program was initiated well before GOP/HEC
launched its current manpower training programs. Not a single penny of the GOP/HEC has
been spent in this regard as these scholarships are funded by Western institutions. I was
able to transform the culture of PU Physics Department during my tenure. I never allowed
political student groups, including the most powerful one, to operate in my Department.
Good students, and not the stereotyped politically motivated student leaders, became role
models in the Physics Department duri ng my tenure. Prof. T. Bolton of Kansas State University
referred to me as a gold mine of graduate students.
