STATEMENT OF PURPOSE -PROFESSOR
the poor chu
I stUll remember my chlldhood days when my father, a teacher In school and also used to teach
dren who cannot afford coaching classes in and around our vlllage. I saw hin dolng his work Belflessly felt that t
too should follow the footsteps of my father. I was Lood at Engllsh whereas my father was a teacher of Mathematics
In my 1Otlh standard, Itold my father that after my 1Oth Iwould like to go In such a college where Icould learn
English and in future should do my graduatlon in English. Itold my father that I wanted to become aprofessor
or a teacher alter my graduation and asked him to guide me accordingly. Hence right from my chlldhood Ihave
abackground and environment of tcaching professlon. Just looking at my father I started tyachng 5th and 6th
standard students when Iwas in 11th standard. Iwas not good In other subjects in school but I had secured sat
isfactory marks in my school graduation.
My maternaluncle who was in Mumbal, reallsed my inclination towards English and teaching profession, Im
mediately asked me to come Mumbal and told me to seek an admission in his frlends college who was a reputed
teacher of English in ajunior college. While studylng with my uncle's friend my interest for teaching profession work
grew. My uncle, my father as well as uncle's friend helped nme in growing my teaching skills. They not only taught
me methods and tricks of teaching butalso directed me about the basics in the profession and gulded about the
varlous career opportunitles in It.Asper their guidance I pursued my 11th and 12th standard in arts stream from
a very reputed college in Mumbai and have secured distinction in the examination by standing 2nd in my college.
No sooner did I complete my 12th standard than my decision to become a professor become clear and my
belief alsogot strengthened and I decided that Iwill make my career as a professor. From this time, Iprepared for
getting an admission in Mumbai's reputed college for Arts like St. Xavier's college Churchgate which is reputed all
over India for its meritoriousness.
Ihave always tried my best to do my work with reasoning and proper analysis. My interest in teaching has
helped me a lot. In 12th standard Ihave represented my college in elocution and essay writing competition at na
tional level at Delhi and has won 1st prize in both the event.
Getting an admission in an institution named St. Xavier's college is always my dream. The chance of getting
admission and be a part of rigorous syllabus designed to suit the good students of the country would certainly
lead me in right direction to serve the students of the interlor part of our country through my passion of teaching.

Respected judges, Principal Sir, mny teachers and my dear student friends Iwish you good morning, Today, on the
occasion of World Environment Day' Iwould like to share my views on the topic 'Nature our true teacher'
We all know that on 5th June, we celebrate world environment day all over the world. This day is celebrated to
show our gratitude towards the nature which is providing us all beautiful things for the ages. Whatever we are
having and getting is fromn this nature only and therefore isnt itour duty to be grateful towards this nature at least
once in a year?
Nature selfless that it knows only to give. We are getting sunlight, rain, trees, crop, water and each and every
thing from the nature only. Do you think we all can live without nature? The most important thing that is Oxy
gen which is needed for our survival we do get it from nature and that too free of charge. We nobody ever thínk
about it. During Corona pandemic outbreak we all realised how important oxygen is for us. Frlends, trees are
our best friends and it is dolng a lot for us. Trees gives us shade, trees hold water gives wood, frewood, fruts
and lowers. Have your thought about trees? We under the name of industrialization, urbanization are cutting
trees indiscriminately and killing our nature. We are pelting stones on tree still trees are giving us sweet fruits
and flowers. They give us pure oxygen and air to breathe. Trees are bringing rain so, mountains, glaciers, oceans
all things make this nature. Actually speaking nature is teachingus how without any expectation we should Je

Irom nature we all need to prescrve the nature for our future gencratlon clse they wlllive in concrete jungles a

So, at the end, I propose you all to come together and take an oath to conserve the nature. Let us plant mo

caste system in India especially in Maharashtra. This book is also a proof of awakening of Dalits traverstng from
three generations. The main thing, this novel highlights is the inhumanity and injustice of social order that treats
human worse than animals. The story begins in 1930 when Damu the protagonist of the novel who is constantly
addressed by humiliating word 'Mahar".Darmu refused to comply with the conventional casteist code of society and
