Mukesh Kumar Garhwal serves as Secretary and brings with him a distinguished professional journey shaped by engineering, public service, and human development. A graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering, he joined the 1989 UPSC batch of the Indian Engineering Services and went on to work extensively with Akashvani and Doordarshan in a range of roles and responsibilities. His specialization in Human Resource Management gave him a deeper lens into human behavior, helping him explore not only outward patterns but also their inner origins.
After retiring as Deputy Director General in February 2024, he began a new chapter with The Life School Bhopal. Today, he lives, practices, and shares the school’s philosophy with sincere commitment. His own transformation—from being lost in the past to fully present in the here and now—stands as a powerful example of personal growth and self-mastery. His story reflects a meaningful path of awareness, discipline, and the possibility of becoming one’s own master.
