A former teacher at UCCMS, Prabhat is currently serving as the dean of the institute. He has various degrees like BCom, MCom, M.Phil., and Ph.D. under his belt.

Prabhat Kumar Singh is serving as dean at the UCCMS, Udaipur.

Prabhat originally hails from Jaipur, where he also spent his childhood. He went to Mahavir Digambar Jain School. He considers himself fortunate enough to have studied at a school par excellence, which imbibed in him good values along with arousing a hunger for gaining knowledge. Prabhat has a B.Com., M.Com., M.Phil., and Ph.D. from the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur.

At the young age of twenty-one, right after completing his M.Com., he got a job offer from the Government of Rajasthan to work in the education department. Then he got selected for RAS-allied services but did not join them. In 1991, he joined UCCMS, Udaipur, as an assistant professor. Then he became a professor at the college, and currently he is serving as the dean of the institute.

Talking about his childhood, Prabhat says that he had a conducive environment at home to study. His father was a faculty member at the University of Rajasthan. He would always like to go to school, and whatever he is today, he owes it all to his teachers at school. He enjoyed his student life.

Besides teaching at the college, Prabhat guides PhD scholars and teaches them moral values and personality behavior tactics. He claims that around eighteen PhD scholars completed their degrees under his guidance.

In sharing his pandemic experience, Prabhat says that he got to spend time with his family. Besides, he also conducted virtual classes for the students, and in the process, he got to learn about technical aspects of things. He also did a lot of reading and writing.

Prabhat thinks he is not a born leader. He learned leadership through his experiences in life. Besides, he thinks that the teaching profession itself teaches leadership qualities to a teacher, as a teacher is required to guide and mold students.

Prabhat says that during his time, access to educational resources and books was limited, as opposed to now, when there are enough books and resources available and students can learn digitally too.

Prabhat highlights the need to teach moral values to the new generations of students to enable them to ideate, innovate, and contribute to nation-building.

To students, his message is to take their studies seriously, as studying is a holy act, and it’s the religion of students too. Besides, in today’s age of competition, the more you learn, the more you grow.

In his free time, he likes to do gardening, water his plants, and be in nature.

His success mantra is to read, eat, and play as much as possible.
