My job and stay in N.S.S. College of Engg, Palghat


My job and stay in N.S.S. College of Engg, Palghat


My first job after B.Tech from CET in First Class, was in N.S.S College of Engineering, Palghat. I joined NSS by April 1964. My father dropped me in Palghat. Prof. V.S.Nair was the Principal and Prof. Padmanaban Nair was the head of Mech Engg. All the staff helped me to make my job easier. I was second to HOD as all others were Asst. lecturers. At that time candidates were not coming for teaching profession and only second class candidates were coming as Asst. lecturers.

Actually I was little upset as I have to handle final year classes and students were mostly elder to me. I went to see final years before going to class. They assured to cooperate. I had to Take Theory of Machines, the subject which I liked much since it was handled to me by the eminent Professor Dr. Ravikumar in CET. So I could take the subject very well and all liked me.

The climate was hot and sometime we used to put water in the room and sleep. In summer the timing was 7.30 am to 1.30 pm. The stay and the surrounding was good with Malampuza Dam near by. I was staying with some staff Preman, Chandran etc in Akathethara. Among the staff I liked Raru Menon for his humble and helping nature.

Since I got job in TKM College of Engg, Quilon.  I left NSS after 15 months of good , peaceful and satisfying job, as my father was particular. My marriage was fixed  with my father's sister's daughter from Kayamkulum. I joined TKM in July 20,1965 and I got married by Aug 22, 1965
