(Education Management industry)

June 1974 — March 1991 (16 years 10 months)

Here I had the benefit of working on Gazetteer project. I gained friendship with a number of scholars in various fields; some of them were past masters in their fields of knowledge, research work and communication. I would remember this period especially for educative experience and for enormous opportunities to express myself in writing on varied subjects with which Gazetteers are concerned.
