Dr. H. M. Desai
An educationist, technocrat, academic and philanthropist, Dr. H. M. Desai has striven to serve the local and global community through science, engineering and technical education. In an illustrious career spanning over 5 decades, he has grown from a lecturer to a principal, to finally becoming the Vice Chancellor for two universities of national repute: Gujarat University and Dharmsinh Desai University. He has been the President of Association of Indian Universities (AIU). He is also a Member of the Royal Society of Chemists, London (UK) and a Member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (USA).
In addition to education, Dr. H. M. Desai also spearheads the philanthropic causes of DDU. He was instrumental in organising the organ donation drive that saw DDU being recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records. He not only established the ultra-modern Dental College and Dental Hospital at DDU, but also ensured that it is accessible to the poorest of people.
