Academic Commendation & Review
“Dr. C. Rajashekaraiah is a humble individual and silent educationist. Very rarely do people in administration continue to care deeply for academics. He is a rare species who has continued reading, research, and scholarly writing even after serving as Principal. He is a teacher par excellence and liked by students and management equally.”

The book on Educational Psychology deals thoroughly with the teaching and learning process both in theory and in practice, serving as an invaluable companion for student teachers across universities.
