Assistant Professor Dr Bheru Lal Salvi is a man of principles. Whatever he does, he does it devotedly by giving his one hundred percent to it.

Dr Bheru Lal Salvi is working in the capacity of an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at CTAE, Udaipur. His job involves varied responsibilities. He teaches UG and PG students, looks after R&D projects, and also does some administrative work at the institute. Besides, he is also the Warden of the Hostel at the institute.

Dr Bheru was born in a village in Mavli, Udaipur. He completed his schooling till 8th grade in his village only. He stood first in the district in the Rural Talent Search Examination and subsequently got admission to a boarding school facilitated by SIERT. He studied there from 9th grade till 12th grade. Then he appeared in RPET and in his second attempt at the examination, he got selected for Mechanical Engineering at MNIT, Jaipur. After completing his engineering, he taught for four years at a private engineering college in Jaipur. Meanwhile, he also enrolled for a part-time M.Tech. at MNIT, Jaipur. Thereafter he taught at CTAE, Udaipur for seven years and then did his PhD at IIT Delhi.In 2016, he completed his PhD and since then he has been teaching at CTAE, Udaipur.

Dr Bheru identifies the gaps in the current technical education in the country. He proposes that along with the theoretical knowledge, the focus should be laid on hands-on implementation of the knowledge too. He believes that this will make the students more skilled and employable.

Dr Bheru says that he did his entire school education in the Hindi medium and owing to that he wasn’t good at speaking English. During his engineering, he made it a point to improve upon his shortcomings and practised speaking English. And by the end of his engineering, he was able to converse in the language confidently. He says that language should not be a constraint for any engineering student provided they are consistent in their effort in improving at it.

Dr Bheru wanted to prepare for the Civil Service Examination after his schooling, but he was advised and motivated by his seniors to pursue engineering. During his engineering, he prepared for the exam parallelly. He appeared in the Indian Engineering Services Examination and reached the interview stage twice, but couldn’t clear it. He laments that had he prepared for the exam full-time he would have cracked it, but he is content with his current profession.

Dr Bheru shares that as the Warden of the hostel, he motivates the students to study hard and live a good social life. After his working hours, he likes to have a cup of tea and then follow it by an evening walk with his wife to rejuvenate himself. Besides, he also likes to watch TV and the news and prepare for his R&D work for the next day.

To aspiring teachers who want to teach engineering, Dr Bheru advises that from your engineering itself, you should study your subjects well and develop a passion for teaching and learn from the teaching methodologies of your teachers. Besides, you should do your M.Tech. with a multidimensional approach by referring to multiple sources to get command over your subjects. Furthermore, he advises that pursuance of PhD in continuance with your M.Tech. will also help you.

Dr Behru advises that whatever profession you are into, you must follow professional ethics and work for humanity. He says that earning money should be one aspect of your profession and not the end goal of it.
