Director’s message

I have more than 20 years of professional experience in the field of archaeology along with experience in different aspects of educational planning, institution building, research & development.

Under my leadership, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya Institute of Archaeology has taken several initiatives for promoting quality of higher education. The Post-Graduate Diploma Course in Archaeology also undergoes upgradation which involved several experts from across the country along with senior most officials and veterans of the Archaeological Survey of India. The motive behind this exercise was to cope up with the rising demand for the latest knowledge in the field of Archaeology. Further, through this PGDA course , students would gain in-depth knowledge of archaeological practices and have the opportunity to work on real field projects.

I believe in quality education with a strong character building approach. I urge all the interested ones and those who are passionate about sources of history and want to learn more about the rich past.
