    Dear Sancheti Sir, You are doing this job. Good.... Great.... But you know what ? There are other things you can do to become good.

    First you have to wipe the tears of those working for many years on temporary basis at NITK. They also have dreams about their life, marriage, parental security....

    Try to root out the Teaching-NonTeaching discrimination.... Definitely you will be remembered....

    Thank you.
