Bio-sketch

With MA in both English and Linguistics, M Phil (Linguistics, University of Delhi) followed by Ph D in Child Language Acquisition (Department of Linguistics, University of Delhi),  she is teaching English to undergraduate engineering students at Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), Delhi University, for the past 25 years. Her overall contribution to teaching at undergraduate level including other colleges of Delhi University is around 30 years. Her debut book ‘Five Short Stories: Translations from Munshi Premchand’ is a fledgling step in the world of translation and publishing. Other works in translation from Maithili  to English are 'Seven Short Stories: Stories Translated from Dr Harimohan Jha, A Doll’s Game and Maithili Short Stories in English published in 2016, 2021 and 2024 respectively.  She has also been a regular contributor to  'Indian Literature': Sahitya Akademi and ‘Anuvad’:Translators’ Association of India.

Aiming at a general improvement in oral and written skills, she finds translation from one language to another as the real test for a speaker of a number of languages. With increased global demand for good English communication skills, honing spoken skills in engineering graduates is her  forte and mission. Keeping the interests of the students in mind, she has reviewed and revised the existing syllabus as per the needs today. Two PG programmes namely MA in English and MA in Applied Psychology were started under her headship. Her future plans are running Short and Long Term Programmes in Spoken English and Personality Development to benefit those interested in English Language Training as a component of skill development.
