The former lecturer used to be
a faculty member at a Punjabi University before financial difficulties drove
him into resigning.
He told India Today that the
university salary was very low and never came on time, driving him to seek
other means to sort his bills.
Sandeep said …
“I
taught at Punjabi University – five years on a junior research fellowship and
seven years as a guest faculty. In June last year, I quit teaching as it became
difficult for me and my family to survive on that salary. I won’t beg before
anyone. I will keep doing my work.”
After
resigning, the lecturer began hawking vegetables to make ends meet.
“It
had become difficult for me to make ends meet with that job. That’s why I
switched to selling vegetables for my survival and my family,” he said.
The
39-year-old noted that he doesn’t regret being a lecturer as that had always
been one of his dreams as a youngster.
