Q1. Sir, please describe your life post Malaviya.
My post Malaviya life which includes my family and professional career was very
satisfying. I rose to the highest rank in BSNL.
Q2. What was your college life like at that time?
As usual the college life was full of fun. We used to play different games after the
class hours. My colleagues were sport maniacs and at least half of the various
college teams comprised of them. In those days the college was very remotely located because of poor transportation to the main city. Sometimes we used the
mess ricksaw and rode it ourselves for any odd hour requirement.
Since ours was the first batch of Electronics, it was very essential, not only for the
faculty members but also for the students to take the new department forward. I
still remember the tireless effort of the the faculty members headed by shri H. R.
Singh. It will not be fair on my part if I don' Ёɕ
