Dr. TN Jha, popularly known as Dr. T as christened recently by Ex Californian Senator Mr Monsoya is an Economist by training (as student) and a practicener by being part of Development Banking for more than three decades at apex banking level. In short he completed his master in economics from BHU way back in 1973 and joined JNU to pursue M Phil/Ph d program there under the able guidance of renowned economist named Dr. IZ Bhatty, the then Director General of NCAER, New Delhi where myself along with select few learned friends like Prof Raju had joined as Research Fellow. While persuing Ph d in JNU on theoretically and conceptually complex topic of rural employment, more on account of dimensional variations and it's tricky measurement and at the same time working at NCAER often proved daunting as it involved pleasing the never pleasing research guides in JNU and heavily pressured immediate boss in NCAER. Though nightmarish to please the two different demanding husband like bosses but it proved very very rewarding in terms of gaining solid exposure in empirical based research methods and concepts by getting involved into numerous research projects, including the famous all india income and expenditure survey, Dr. T on completion of Ph d marched further as researcher by joining the DU's famous Agro Economic Research Centre, located in Delhi School of Economics campus to join one prestigious research project on understanding energy efficiency of agriculture- a case of Punjab. His career as a researcher received a double boost when he received an offer from RBI/ NABARD as Economist where the nature of work involved preparing policy and research notes at corporate level to grassroot level development banking in rural and agricultural sector offering a very wide range of experiences in project preparation to their implementations in the realm of both investment projects and shaping of innovative national projects like SHGs and rural infrastructure building. In between he received training in development banking from time to time in internal as well as external institutions towards updation in ever emerging national and international development models. After demitting office upon retirement he offered faculty support to the then upcoming Bihar Central University, Patna to teach PG students in macro development economics and agrarian relations. Working and writing a book with a dedicated team on the sorrow river called Kosi around the same time after retirement remained one of the most fulfilling experience for him. The best of him was yet to come when he worked as advisor to the Planning Department of Bihar Government to prepare a study report on 'Understanding Efficiency of Land Use Pattern in Bihar' - a Regional and time series Analysis. Admittedly, with such a vast research experiences he published in between quite many research papers and books too. Though already in his mid-seventies now he has offered his services and is contributing as a solder to help achieve larger goals of Youth4Nation in reaching out to the youths of the nation towards making them understand and appreciate nationalism, nation building and issues in national security.

Dr Chandan Ghosh, a Civil-Infrastructure Engineering
professional, has been serving the society for more than 3
decades especially towards the up-scaling of policymakers,
technocrats and entrepreneurs. After having his analytical
acumen sharpened at the IIT-Kanpur in 1990s during doctoral
research, he took up extensive experimental investigations at the
Ibaraki University, Hitachi City, Japan and developed several
equipment with specific motivation towards recreation of field
problems into large scale laboratory set-up. His salient research
works earned him 2nd Doctorate Degree in 2004 from the Ibaraki
University, Japan.
He did post doctoral research at Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), Tsukuba,
Japan as a part-time researcher from October 1998 to March 2000, during which he had
the exposure to robust facilities on (Earthquake) shaking tables and dynamic centrifuges
and also at the University of Tsukuba from April 2004 to January 2005, before taking up
an advisory post in the newly created Earthquake Risk Evaluation Centre at Mausam
Bhavan, India Meteorological Department, Govt. of India (now under Ministry of Earth Sciences). At EREC, Dr Ghosh did
seminal work on the 1st cut Seismic microzonation of Delhi brought out in Dec 2005
and before Joining NIDM as a Professor, he framed the basis of conducting detail
Seismic Microzonation study of Delhi, which is now taken up across the country under
MoES, GoI.
In the foundation years of his research career in IIT-BHU, he gave new formulation
to the soil-reinforcement interaction in terms of Ëœtension" Ëœconfinement" and "combined"
the mechanism for improving the bearing capacity of reinforced earth bed. Having grown
through extensive analytical and numerical formulation dealing with soil-reinforcement
interactions and contributing immensely towards the discretization of classical solution
of elastic half-space with the precincts of sub-grade modeling approaches of Winkler
and Pasternak. This work has opened up new vistas in the soil-reinforcement
interaction studies and the subject is still growing.
Dr Ghosh has the international flavor to abreast the developments of other countries
and instilling Indian wisdom/fundamental ethos towards frontier areas in sustainable
development, disaster mitigation and landslide mitigation, particularly usage of
geosynthetics and bio-Engg. methodologies in combination with modern techniques
such as soil nailing, reinforced earth wall, etc.
Besides, being a hard core professional in areas of resilient infrastructure
development in the country and dealing with disaster management affairs since July
2006 at the Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI, Prof. Ghosh has embarked upon several
projects, wherein, his whole hearted effort has been towards skill-oriented training cum
capacity building for the engineers, architects and town planners.
His academic, research and professional zeal have grown exponentially with
the skill-based higher education acclimatized with the current surge in Innovation,
automation, machine learning, and IoT. His understanding is effectively tapped by the non-life insurance agencies, PSUs, hydrocarbon industries, hill area development, Bioengineering industries, construction and retrofitting agencies, etc.
As a matter of fact country's enormous venture towards higher education and
industry-conducive R&D are very much nipped in the accrued expertise of Prof. Ghosh.
Being an inspiring educator cum HR collaborator, he is one of the most sought-after
personnel in addressing various academia, industry and Disaster Risk reduction fora.
