ABOUT LATE DR. ARUN K. GUPTA (1943-2021)

Dr. Arun K Gupta was widely regarded as the pioneer who ushered in private participation in the higher education sector in J&K with the setting up of the MIER College of Education in 1981. He was a true visionary, a teacher, a researcher, mentor to thousands, and an educationalist in the true sense of the word. He was an internationally renowned authority in education, especially in psychology, creativity, and early-childhood education. In 1995 he envisioned setting up the Model Institute of Engineering and Technology and through his indomitable spirit and dint of hard work brought it to fruition in 1999, making it the first private engineering college in J&K. Since, then these institutions have served the educational needs of J&K with merit and gained significant recognition in the process. Dr. Gupta was a towering personality with a photographic memory. His ability to recall the names of his students decades later never ceased to amaze. He had laser-like focus, determination, and attention to detail. He was a true wordsmith, blessed with complete command over the languages, equally impressive as an orator and as a writer. His students loved him for his style of deep engagement and genuine sincerity towards their development. He was a mentor to many young teachers, helping launch brilliant careers for many. He was deeply wedded to social causes and gave back to the region in his own unique ways. His core values of Shreshtha (Excellence), Shram (Deligence) and Navinta (Innovation) shall continue to inspire generations of educators & students to come. Dr. Arun Kumar Gupta left us for his heavenly abode in 2021.
