Professional Experience:

Positions:

Director General (1987 to 1990) and Adviser (1994-1995) in the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
He has found (jointly with Shri A.K. Sharma), the Dynastic Temple and fulfledged school of Vakataka Art at Mansar Distt. Nagpur under aegis of Bodhisattva Nagarjun Smarak Va Anusandhan Kendra, Nagpur. He is the Adviser of the Institution.
He has recently established the Matri Smriti Museum and Research Centre at Kankhal, Hardwar connected with Sri Ma Anandamayee-a museum of spiritual Heritage.
He has been examiner of Ph.D. Thesis on Archaeological subjects in Deccan College Post-Graduate Institute Pune, Kurukshetra University, Allahabad University, M.S. University, Vadodara and Garhwal University etc.

Experience:

He joined Archaeological Survey of India in 1956 at Nagarjunakonda, Andhra Pradesh and has since worked in various official capacities in different regions of India and has 45 years of meritorious service in the field of archaeology to his credit. He was associated with a number of explorations, excavations and conservation projects of ASI and other Institutions.
He has specialised in Proto-History and excavations particularly on Harappan Civilization besides Conservation of Monuments. His basic contributions to Indian Archaeology include:
- He discovered a large number of sites of Pre-Harappan, Harappan and late Harappan Cultures in Gujarat, Jammu, Punjab and Haryana. Out of these sites, the biggest Harappan site in India i.e., Dholavira in Kutch which is now under excavation was discovered by him during his explorations in Kutch in 1966.
- He has independently directed the excavations of Harappan sites at Surkotada, Manda and of Late Harappan sites at Bhagwanpura, Dadheri, Kathpalon and Nagar.
- Discovery of land routes of the migration of Harappans from Sind to Saurashtra via Kutch. This has been established on the basis of his exploration.
- On the score of excavations carried out under his direction at Surkotada : a Harappan site in Kutch, bones of true horse i.e., equus cabalus linn were discovered and now horse is associated with the Harappans also which is of considerable importance.
- The dark period from circa 1500 B.C. to 1000 B.C. has been bridged on the basis of his discoveries of overlap of late Harappan and PGW Cultures in Haryana and Punjab particularly in the excavations at Bhagwanpura (Distt. Kurukshetra), Haryana, Dadheri (District Ludhiana); Nagar and Kathpalon (District Jalandhar) under his direction. On the score of excavations carried out by him in Haryana & Punjab and Jammu an earlier phase of PGW and Grey Ware has been recognised which is associated with the Bronze age.
- On the basis of explorations and detailed documentation and plottings done under his direction, it has been brought to light that the main thrust of Harappans was from Bhawalpur/Pakistan area to Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab through river Sarasvati. The Harappans in their course of expansion did not follow the riverine routes of Punjab as was believed earlier.
- He has jointly with Prof. F.R. Allchin of Cambridge University excavated at the post Harappan site at Malvan which established the point of penetration by Harappans to areas in Northern Deccan.
- His explorations and observations brought to light three economic pockets of Harappans on Sarasvati-Hakra system. This could be discerned after the discovery of a large number of Harappans sites in District Mansa, Punjab.
- He has been able to date the fire alters found at Kalibangan, Banawali in the Saraswati Valley and Lothal to the middle levels of Harappan stratigraphy which perhaps shows their affiliation with Vedic Culture.
- He has collaborated in excavations and other projects on National and International levels for e.g., with Prof. S.B. Deo, formerly Director, Deccan College, Pune and Prof. Asko Parpola, of Helsinki, a renowned scholar of Indus Studies from Finland and Prof. F.R. Allchin of Cambridge University, a renowned archeologist. The Collaborated field works are now published.
- An altogether new centre of Hinayana School of Buddhist Art was brought to light by him jointly with Dr. S.B. Deo) at Pauni, District Bhandara, Maharashtra.
Besides, leading Indian archaeological delegations to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, U.K., Syria, he had visited Australia, Bahrain, USSR, Male, Nepal, Japan, Singapore, France, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and USA, he represented India in various committees of UNESCO e.g. on Restitution of Cultural Property, Conservation in Cambodia and Mohenjo daro during his tenure as Director General, ASI.
He delivered the Presidential Address in the Indian Archaeological Society, Kanya Kumari Session 1990 and H.D. Sankalia Memorial Lecture in Indian Society of Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies at Allahabad in 1999.
