He worked in Adarsh College, Safidon in 1976-77 and settled in RKSD college, Kaithal in 1978, where his services were
regularised.
Though Garg had a regular job, but quest for learning is still there.
Continuing with studies, Garg completed his master degree in political science, M. Phil, Ph.D and a degree in law when he was a lecturer in the college.
His hard work and dedication got him elevated as principal of RKSD college, Kaithal on December 1, a post, which he still holds.

Garg.
