Obituary Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, February 19 Earnest on participating in the national movement, he chose to become a lecturer in Sikh National College, Lahore, after turning down far more lucrative offers in government service during the British regime. He used to collaborate with Professor Brij Narain in organising study-circles for freedom fighters. After Partition in 1947, he taught at Panjab University Evening College and Ramjas College in New Delhi. He became the Principal of S.D. College, Ambala Cantt, in 1954 and Head of Department of Political Science at Panjab University College at Hoshiarpur in 1959. Principal Anand’s active association with the administration of Panjab University began in 1956, when he was first nominated as a fellow of its Senate, where he worked in tandem with such celebrities as Justice Mehar Chand Mahajan, Bhai Jodh Singh, Col Amir Chand and Dr P.N. Chhuttani. Then he was elected a Fellow of the University from 1968 to 1976 and was nominated to it again for the term 1988-1992. He remained a member of the University Syndicate for a number of years. He was also Founder Dean of Alumni Relations of Panjab University from 1971 to 1975. He was an ace speaker, both in English and Punjabi. He retired in 1977 after a teaching career spanning over 40 years. As an educationist, Principal Anand’s contribution did not remain confined to Panjab University alone as he was also actively associated with the academic bodies of the universities at Delhi, Agra, Patiala, Kurukshetra, Rohtak and Bhopal. He was a consistent advocate of progressive measures for administrative and academic reforms in universities. He was nominated to the Court of the University of Kurukshetra. Apart from his deep interest in matters academic, Principal Anand played a significant role in public life. He was a member of the Education Committee of the Union Territory of Chandigarh, the Federation of the Management of Colleges in Panjab and Chandigarh, the Haryana Non-Government College Management’s Association and of the Managing Committees of a number of colleges in Panjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. A veritable power house of energy, he was always moving, always thinking and had the urge to speak on any subject under the sun. If his memory was phenomenal, his mental alertness was astonishing. He could fire off passages verbatim from English and Indian classics in Hindi, Persian, Urdu and Punjabi to drive home his point.
