From 'Peon' To Vice-Chancellor
Life in a slum taught Dr.Narendra Jadhav to be resilient but it was the all -consuming emphasis placed on education by his semi-literate father that set him on the road to success.
Dr Narendra Jadhav ended up as chief economist of thr Reserve Bank of India and then Vice-Chancellor Pune University,a chair he currently holds.Jadhav's unique success story shows how education can unchain and transform when seemingly nothing else can.
His father told him"Don'tlisten to what others tell you to become.They may tell you to become a doctor,barrister or engineer.But follow your inner voice and do what you want.I don't care what you choose for yourself,as long as you are at the top,whereever you are.Don't ever be medicore.
Dr Jadhav headed for the University of Indiana ,where he received a Ph.D in Public Finance.Seven days after he got his Ph.D Jadhav was back in India.He says "You can't use your background as an excuse for incompetence and there's no substitute for hard work.
His father said a Ph.D was like a driving license.You start driving"
