    Previous Organisation

    Professor : IIM Ranchi.

    My motivation to join Sri Sri University is to be one of the active partners in developing value-based world Class University. 

    The unique blend of psychology and contemplation aimed by the Department of Contemplative and Behavioural Sciences (DCBS) is incomparable not only in India but in the globe, is my key inspiration to join Sri Sri University. 

    The contemplation infuses learning with experience and awareness as it fosters intellectual, personal, and spiritual growth, and helps to master critical skills and multi-cultural sensitivities needed to understand and translate it into practices that change the world.
