Mukesh Lohar is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies. He devotes all of his time to the overall development of his students.

Mukesh comes from a rural background. He was born in a village in the Dungarpur district of Rajasthan. His school education was from a government school and then from a Navodaya Vidyalaya. As he was good in Maths his parents advised him to go for engineering, and he joined GITS to do a B.Tech. in mechanical engineering. His parents arranged his first year’s fees with much difficulty. Later, he started coaching school students and, from the second year onward, managed his fees and other expenses on his own.

As Mukesh completed his B.Tech., he developed an inclination towards teaching young students and joined the same institution, GITS, as a lecturer in 2010. He kept on upgrading his skills and completed courses in CAD, CAM, and other software. He also encouraged his students to form groups and work on projects. He, along with his students, comes early to college and leaves late in the evening in order to find time to work on the projects. They have been very successful in this venture.

Mukesh was inspired by Shiv Khera’s book ‘Aapki Jeet’. He faced a lot of struggle in his early career, but he overcame all the adversities with his grit and determination.

Mukesh has fond memories of his childhood, which was spent in a small village. He especially remembers how they played outside and had a lot of physical activity. Even today, every evening he gathers the young children of his colony in a park and encourages them to play various games, trying to take them away from mobiles and computers.

For youngsters aspiring to become teachers, his advice is that they must not only have good knowledge of their subjects but also know how to impart that knowledge to students.
