Maj Gen Dr Bikash K Mohanti, AVSM (Retd)
Dr Jagannath Patnaik has been a good administrator in the education world for over a decade. His exemplary life, books, talks, magazine articles have been working in a unique way and contributing to the realization of a right world order in education development. His appeal is beyond the confines of caste, creed, status and nationality. His love for nature, interest in science and sympathy for the lost have made his mission unique and fruitful. I have read his works over the decades, all with admiration.
I appreciate immensely all he has done and continues to do for the understanding, expansion and progress of education, by his predications and publications and by his contribution to help the poor. I find his numerous publications of great interest because of his charm and imagination and the practical value of his education development, all of which are accessible to a broad audience.
