Born in educationally, politically and economically disadvantaged village “Bhaini Maraj” in Sangrur district of Punjab, rose to the position of Chairman, Agricultural Scientist Recruitment Board (ASRB) (equivalent to Secretary to Government of India). I sincerely thank the Almighty for His blessings on me and my family. Prior to occupying the position of Chairman, ASRB; I served the country as Agriculture Commissioner, Govt. of India; Director of Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI), Karnal; Assistant Director General, ICAR and Head of Crop Production Division at Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi. Wherever I worked, served with utmost sincerity, honesty and dedication and created out of box thinking to  establish new milestones which were rewarded in terms of several prestigious awards and peer recognitions. After his retirement in 2017, established GS Foundation for research, education and development to continue interest in agricultural research, academics and farmers welfare.
