Vision

My present focus is to write about Martyrs, Saints & Prelates who are commemorated in the Syrian Orthodox Church and also to make available English translations of the liturgical texts, prayers and interpretations for the benefit of the young generation who are not able to read or understand Malayalam.

My vision in teacher education and teaching is to improve the quality of teaching-learning process in general and that of physics and chemistry in particular.ย ย As a research guide my vision is to promote quality in the content and process of research that will enhance the quality of teaching-learning processes.ย ย With this vision in mind, I am engaged in guiding research, writing books, publishing articles and presenting papers in the area of Physical science teaching.
