Late Dr Arun K. Gupta (Author) was the Chairman of MIER group of institutions at Jammu. He was an eminent educationist with national and international reputation. He had more than fifty years of experience as a Teacher Educator, Administrator and Researcher. He had authored 15 books and contributed 150 research papers in reputed journals. He was the recipient of several awards and honours for his educational contribution. He enjoyed an intimate and long-standing association with Mr. H. L. Gupta as a son, colleague and partner in shaping up Model Institute of Education and Research and taking it to the highest echelons of success as one of the best educational institutions at the regional and national level. As his only son, the task of compiling this book, almost four decades after the passing away of Mr. H. L. Gupta, was challenging, deeply emotional, personally rewarding and an enriching experience for him. This also provided him a rare opportunity to appreciate his great father both as an individual and as an educationist par excellence. He not only inherited his unmatched legacy but was also entrusted with the enormous responsibility of following the footsteps of his illustrious father. Putting together this book, is therefore, a true labour of love and gratitude of a loving, caring and dutiful son to his father. Alas, he did not live to see the publication of his own book. Hopefully, the book will serve to inspire the future generations to carry their legacy forward.
