Today, on the 100th birth anniversary of Madhuri R. Shah, one of the most eminent educationalists of India, we are pleased to offer a rare and hard-to-find book for those interested in the realm of education. Born on 13 December 1919, Madhuri R. Shah was not just a great educational administrator but also an eminent scholar, researcher, and producer of innovative reading material for children. As Vice-Chancellor of S. N. D. T. Women's University in Bombay, she was responsible for giving an entirely new orientation to the university. And as the chairperson of the University Grants Commission, she emerged as an innovator who boldly identified elements that democratized universities for improving the quality of education.
This unique book was composed in a conversational style and consists of several insightful conversations with Madhuri R. Shah by the acclaimed poet Suresh Dalal and Kallolini Hazarat.
Several images of this rare/scarce and out-of-print book are attached herewith for the perusal of those interested.
