Greetings from the Director
Over the past 25 years, I have been wearing two shoes; one as a professor in the university, and the other as a staff member of an NGO. Being appointed director of this institute makes me even more passionate about working hard for both these organizations.
Since I was a student, I strongly wished to change this world and society for the better. In my final years before retirement, I will dedicate my time and energy to this institute, to the students, and to the community at large. I appreciate your understanding, support and participation.
