Her success story is all about courage. The courage to dream again. She comes from a very unconventional background compared to any other lawyer practising law. She was a sports person in her growing up days. She was nationally and internationally ranked and represented West Bengal in several age group categories. But due to injuries, she had to revert to her academics. It may be pertinent to mention that she was always a decent student even though sports took a major part of her early life. This acted as a boon later. She could transition from sports to academics smoothly. Needless to say, her college played a huge role to aid her transition effectively. It was also the support of her family that gave her the courage to look ahead. Courage, discipline, perseverance, and the will to dream again were the pillars that helped her move ahead in life. Contrary to the general practice, it was only in law school that she realized that she enjoys reading law and from there this journey began and still continues.

To her understanding, success is a very relative term. She is still hungry to learn and therefore she believes she has miles to go to attain success as such. But yes, the journey so far has been an adventurous ride and a fulfilling one. Success for her is staying hungry and being that curious child who wants to know and learn more each passing day. Success can come to anyone and everyone who continues to be such a kind.

Turning Point – Researching innovatively for enhancing the quality of teaching:

While he was a diligent student in school, he observed that the material was covered whether or not the students understood the fundamental ideas. When he was a teacher, he observed that many students had difficulty passing exams, failed to secure higher grades due to lack of understanding the fundamentals concepts of chemistry. The gap in this student’s knowledge inspired him to create a world-class audiovisual course on chemistry called “Audiovisual Representation Of Chemistry, AVC” in 2018. This product was copyright registered with the Indian government and bears the ROC number CF-4073/2018.

After ten years of dedicated research into teaching methodologies, had created 900 Audio Visuals in Chemistry, each lasting between three and six minutes and primarily intended for students at the Intermediate/K12/10+2 level, IIT-JEE/NEET aspirants of India, as well as for Pre-University courses in the US and UK.  The desire to share knowledge in the field of chemistry is a driving force behind the creation of high-caliber, international-standard audio-visuals, in addition to serving in administrative government positions.

Design of Audio-visuals and purpose

To keep students from getting bored, AVC uses required i) introductory audiovisuals to introduce topics using examples from everyday life. ii) Study with Questions What, Why, and how questions help people think and develop their ability to reflect. iii) Audiovisuals using scientific methodology, such as experimentation, observation, and inference, is adopted to enable students to instill scientific thoughts and spur young minds towards innovations and inventions. iv) Analogies were used to make complex topics lucid. Audiovisuals with lots of animations and pictorial representations are appropriately incorporated to address students’ concept-building issues. v) Application-based videos developed helped students think of real-world examples that are applicable to their daily lives and develop their creativity, which helped them achieve high grades. Students who followed his AVs in the various chemistry topics outperformed those who sought guidance from other coaching classes, which allowed the audio-visuals to be validated for their performance qualification.
