I was in my MA first year those days. Seeing him among the stalwart professors in that era was reassuring for a student like me, having come from Sambalpur in western Odisha,” Mishra said. He said during those days, very eminent professors such as Amartya Sen, Mrinal Datta Chaudhuri, A M Khusro, K N Raj, Sukhamoy Chakraborty, Dharma Kumar and others taught in D School.”Singh had a remarkable ability to explain complex topics in international trade in a way every student could understand, making learning easier for students.
