= Profile =

My name is [mailto:singh.savithri@gmail.com Savithri Singh ]. I am the Principal of  [http://andcollege.du.ac.in  Acharya Narendra Dev College], an Undergraduate college of the [http://du.ac.in  University of Delhi]. I am a trained Botanist, but over time my interests have diversified – issues on women, environment and education specially concern me.  I strongly believe in free access to educational content and in collaborative learning not only among peers but also between a student and a teacher.  Probably due to my long association with the Centre for Science Education Communication, University of Delhi, I like to introduce myself as a ‘science educationist’. Besides my adminstrative responsibilities, I spent a lot of time with curriculum and syllabus development at the school and University levels and have developed materials for School Science at both primary and senior levels.  I am now busy developing  elearning content materials at school and college levels.  I have been using the Wikieducator for collaborative development of materials in a [http://wikieducator.org/Bamboo_and_Rattan project] involving IGNOU, INBAR, COL, CIBART and ANDC.  

  
My current passion is to encourage research by faculty and promote workshops for and experiment-based research projects by undergraduate students’ [[http://wikieducator.org/ANDC_DU|CPURT]]. I would like ensure that students get opportunities to work with the best of tools available thus gaining valuable hands-on experience.  My vision is to make my college be identified as a Centre for excellence in research in the sciences.

I love listening to music – old Hindi film songs of Mukesh are my favourite. {{Wikipedia|Acharya Narendra Dev College}}
