Dr. N.K.Chandel

I served  as Associate Professor in Psychology at Kishan Lal Public College, Rewari. I joined the institution in 1982. I had been actively associated with the development work of the academics at college level in various capacities and had shared the administrative responsibilities as convenor or member of various committees at college level. I had been a member of UG Board of Studies in Psychology at M.D. University, Rohtak.  I organized many functions including academic and cultural, at college level. I had  taught different papers including Experimental Psychology, Physiological Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Applied Psychology etc, during my teaching career. Because my keen interest in research in psychology I have been pursuing research in the areas of comparative psychology, experimental psychology, information technological impact on psychology, and other relevant issues. I have published several research papers in these areas of research and have edited a book as co-editor. I have attended several seminars and conferences and I am also member of many academic societies. I have served as a regular Principal of K.L.P.College, Rewari for about two years. After my retirement from the college I joined the SGT University as Professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Behavioural Science in October 2016 and served upto September 2017 and again joined the SGT University as Professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Behavioural Sciences on 10^th May 2019 and serving there. I am active in several areas of social services where I feel I can contribute for the wellbeing of society.

Born at Nawalgarh, Dist. Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan in 1956 I have done my studies  in Rajasthan except PG from Uttar Pradesh. My Ph.D. degree has been awarded  in Psychology by University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. With simple and ethical approach, I find myself able to complete any assignment with missionary zeal and honesty.

Of course as a teacher my core area of interest has always been education. As a student of Psychology I look at the problems with an added angel of human behavior and try to analyse the things in the different perspective, which I feel gives a better understanding. The evolution and status of our educational system has always attracted my attention in which my I try to visualize the compatible system to match the challenges of present era of development. My focus has always been to support the development programmes which eventually are targeted to the human development in the best way. The definition of an ideal personal growth may be flexible because of the pressing needs of the environment but basic gamut are more or less the same. I do advocate this argument.  In view of the fast changing scenario of technological development, particularly the IT sector, I keenly observe the  adjustment patterns of human behavior. To guide in proper direction the social scientists need to do a lot in the present era. I feel really concerned for the same and like to do the needful through proper social networking of the teachers, social workers, researchers and many other interested persons of the society. My whole working career has passed in Haryana since 1981 I am aware of the social, educational and economical intricacies of the state and would like to concentrate on the programmes of relevant areas to benefit the masses of the state.

In certain areas of education a regular monitoring is required for  updating the system and for that a rigorous system should be at hand. I really intend to contribute in this regard through some structured programme.
