Uttarakhand technical Univrersity to be named after Rajju Bhaiya:Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank - World News, 136958
To
Shri Ramesh Pokhrial
Chief Minister
Uttarakhand.
Dear Sir,
I have come accross a news regarding naming of Uttarakhand technical University. I wish to bring to your consideration that It should be named after a person who is an achiever from Uttarakhand.
I can think of the name of Late Prof. S.S. Gairola, who was the first graduate engineer from Garhwal. He started his primary education from Badyar Village where he, as an eight year old child, had to walk miles to get to his school. As a teen-ager, he walked for several days from his village to get to the nearest rail head in order to board the train from Dehradun/ Hardwar to go to his engineering college in Banaras! After achieving his B.Sc. (Eng) degree in Electrical Mechanical Engineering in 1929, he went to England for higher studies and engineering training. He returned to Banaras Hindu University and joined the Banaras Engineering College in 1931 at the behest Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviyaji, even though the then Tehri Maharaja had offered the first graduate engineer of his state to lead all engineering works as the Chief Engineer of the State. It was Malviyaji who convinced the Tehri Maharaja that it was in the best interest of the nation and future generations of engineers that S.S. Gairola be in the field of education. Prof. Gairola went to the prestigious Harvard University in USA for higher studies in 1946. After being at Harvard and successfully completing one semester, he got an opportunity to be a part of the then 'greatest engineering feat' Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by joining the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, He was fortunate to get his research project at the TVA Research Lab. After completing his education in USA, he returned to the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 1948. He went to Lukdheerjee Engineering College in 1955 in Morvi (Saurashtra) on deputation as the Principal for one year. On his return he became the first Head of Civil Engineering Department at BHU. He served as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering along with heading the Civil Engineering Department. He served there till 1969. On Prof. Gairola's retirement the Executive Council of BHU conferred upon him the rare Honorary Professorship for life in recognition of his selfless and high quality service in the field of technical education .
This idea mooted above has a strong support of a large number of Educated Citizens of Uttarakhand. I append below the email address of the persons who fully support this idea.
