Having traveled extensively, he has published over 75 technical papers, 4 books (+4 more in the works), given numerous lectures on technical and popular subjects at national and international conferences, and displayed his paintings at many one-man shows in India, Europe, and the North & South Americas.

Academic Positions

He has headed various Architecture, Planning and Fine Arts colleges. As an educationist and administrator, he laboriously developed fine arts faculty & facilities by scrapping post-matric diploma courses and starting post-intermediate degree courses in painting, sculpture, applied art and photography.

It is evident that this all-round progress of these colleges gave us the FIRST UNIVERSITY of Architecture and Fine arts in India — JNA&FAU.
