I am an engineer by profession, having done my B. Tech (Mechanical) (Hons.) from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. Apart from this, I possess a Diploma in Management from IGNOU. I started my career in a reputed tractor manufacturing company and worked there for about 4 years. Subsequently, I switched over to the M/s Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), a PSU under the Ministry of Defence.

Currently, I am the Vigilance officer for Panchkula unit of BEL, and am working as Sr. DGM (Vigilance). Prior to this, I have had an experience of about 30 years in various functions of industry like Sub contracts, Assembly, Services, Planning, Stores etc.

The audiovisual and online program for CPPP is designed in a marvelous manner and is quite easy to understand and well assimilated by the participants. Having gone through this course, many concepts of Public Procurement (especially in Government Sector) were clearer to me. I found this course very effective even for professionals who are not directly connected with procurement. This is because the basic concepts are relevant in the development of a holistic professional approach in every field. I strongly recommend this course for all professionals in any organization.

I congratulate the team through whose efforts this course could be made available to us.

I strongly believe that though values and ethics are internally controlled by human beings but their absence or deficiency needs preventive mechanisms that contribute significantly towards curbing corrupt practices. Lack of training and competency is one of the basic reasons for poor public procurement. Learning through CPPP MOOC can enhance the skills of Public Procurement in a big way.
