Durgesh Pant is among the earliest adopters and pioneers of Computer Science and Information Technology in the northern Himalayan region of the country in India. He is credited with establishing the Department of Computer Science of Kumaun University, Nainital as early as 1989-90. For about thirty years, he has been an avid promoter of Computer Science, IT and Science & Technology at all levels. He has chaired, participated in and presented at conferences and seminars across the world. Given his penchant for leveraging science and technology, he has always been involved in developing scientific and technological solutions, innovations which are beneficial to the society at large and particularly to the last-mile learners in difficult geographies like Uttarakhand in India. A strong votary of Open and Distance Learning (ODL), he has been closely involved with it for over two decades, of which over a decade was spent with Indira Gandhi National Open University as coordinator and since 2010, he has been working with Uttarakhand Open University as Professor & Director of the School of Computer Science and Information Technology. In addition, he has also worked as the Director, Uttarakhand Space Application centre (USAC), Govt of Uttarakhand for about three years. Presently, he is also working with Uttarakhand Science Education and Research Centre (USERC), Department of Science & technology, Govt. of Uttarakhand as its Director. Prof. Pant is also credited with establishing a unique centre for people with special needs at USERC. This centre is coming up as a hub for organizations working in the spheres of disabilities particularly in the domains of leveraging science and technologies to this effect. Serving for nearly three decades in different fields has enriched Prof Pant to have a balanced viewpoint. He has this conviction that Science, technology, environment, engineering and development, all have to coexist in harmony. An MCA, Ph.D. in Technology and an MBA Prof. Pant has addressed seminars and conferences across the world and a number of research papers and books to his credit in addition to innovations and patents.
