Hailing from a family of academicians in rural Odisha, his professional landing in the education sector was quite accidental. His basic questions in reflection to his own life related to the efficacy of the education system in the true empowerment of the individual drove him along the way of doing experiments around life and education. In recent years, his efforts were concentrated towards reimagining and re-designing the education system to empower the students holistically. Dr. Singh believes the crisis with the current education system at any level (elementary to University) is its growing emphasis on students to achieve monotonous goals rather than learning the process and its diversity. His commitment has been recognized by 40 Under 40 Educators Award by Indian Express, and IVLP Fellowship by US Dept of State.
