I received the grant soon after completing my masters in museum management from the MS University of Baroda. The award came at the right point in my career. It gave me an opportunity to travel to important Indian museums and understand the status of museum education; my theoretical knowledge of museology was augmented by observing practical working of state and national museums. It also gave me an opportunity to interact with museum professionals from important Indian museums. The findings of my research enabled me to look at museum education in a wider perspective, keeping in mind the practical difficulties. The grant experience enabled me to draft a realistic education policy for Mehrangarh Museusm where I am working (2001) as Assistant Curator. In June 2000 I was awarded the Charles Wallace India Trust Curatorial Award, enabling me to study the accessioning and storage system at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
