Lifelong education is often accomplished through distance learning. The realization that formal learning, typically concentrated up to the age of twenty five, can no longer sustain the knowledge requirements of the individuals throughout their life, comes true in the case of Shri. Dharam Bir Raj Vohra.
Shri. D. B. Vohra, 81 year old, who has registered as a MBA student under the Directorate of Distance Education; Sikkim Manipal University at the Media Features (India) Pvt. Ltd (Learning Center, Delhi) is an active lawyer in Supreme Court.
Shri D.B. Vohra hails from Khushab town (presently in Pakistan) and later shifted to Calcutta because of familial reasons, where he took his intermediate in science course and first job assignment in construction major Larsen & Toubro Limited in 1948. Then, joined City College, Commerce Department and passed the B.Com Examination of the Calcutta University in 1950. Later on, completed the LLB degree course from The Law (now K.C. Law) College, Bombay affiliated to the University of Bombay.
In 1964, he entered into the profession of law after obtaining a diploma in International Law from the Indian Society of International Law and Diplomacy, and passed the Advocate-on-Record Examination held by the Supreme Court of India in June, 1967. He initially practised mainly in Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi and Delhi High Court.
“No hassles in Joining SMU DDE Programs” says D.B. Vohra
“The reason for my joining the course through Sikkim Manipal University is that there are no hassles in joining. The course material is well structured, and is taught with the help of slides prepared by the University as well as the faculty of the Center” said D.B. Vohra, octogenarian, who is very much enthused with the learning environment. He also added that the motivation to join the course is the desire to be a role model, primarily to the family members and others as his belief is that the nation is an aggregate of individuals and, in order to acquire and maintain leadership in knowledge economy, everyone should strive very hard to get trained and educated.
