Ph.D. Certificate, JNU New Delhi
I have more than three decades of academic and professional experience in Public Administration, Public Policy, Governance and higher education, providing a strong foundation for teaching and mentoring candidates preparing for the UGC–NET examination. 1. Public Administration – Paper II At Xavier University (now XIM University), Bhubaneswar, I taught Public Administration and Governance to undergraduate students of the B.A. programme and Public Policy and Public Administration to students of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) programme. My postgraduate teaching and academic engagement further strengthened my expertise in public policy, governance and administrative systems. My subject expertise is relevant to the UGC–NET Public Administration syllabus, including administrative theory, organisational behaviour, Indian administration, comparative public administration, development administration, public policy, personnel and financial administration, administrative reforms, accountability, decentralisation and good governance. My professional experience with national public institutions and government programmes enables me to explain theoretical concepts through practical examples from Indian administration and policy implementation. 2. Teaching and Research Aptitude – Paper I My experience as a Professor and Senior Professor, together with responsibilities in doctoral programme coordination, research supervision and academic administration, is relevant to teaching key areas of Paper I. These include teaching aptitude, research aptitude, research methodology, communication, logical reasoning, higher education systems and institutional governance. 3. Examination-Oriented Teaching Methodology My proposed approach to UGC–NET coaching would include systematic syllabus coverage, concept-based teaching, explanation of important theories and thinkers, practice with previous years’ question papers, multiple-choice questions (MCQs), mock tests, revision sessions and performance analysis. Emphasis would be placed on conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, accuracy and effective time management. 4. Academic Qualifications and Professional Strengths I hold a Ph.D. and an M.Phil. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and an M.A. from Utkal University, Odisha. I am also UGC–NET qualified. My academic career at XIM University and the Indian Institute of Education, Pune, alongside professional assignments with the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) and the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), provides an interdisciplinary perspective on public administration, governance and development. Overall, I can contribute to UGC–NET coaching through subject-specific teaching in Public Administration (Paper II), relevant topics in Paper I, structured examination preparation, MCQ-based practice and academic mentoring.
