<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Parmannand \u201cAdhir\u201d was a remarkable personality whose life embodied integrity, intellect, compassion, and unwavering commitment to social justice. Born on 7th October 1939<\/strong> in the small village of Ahirka <\/a>in Jind, Haryana, he emerged from humble beginnings to become a respected teacher, politician, and distinguished literary figure. His life, spanning over seven decades, serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, moral courage, and the transformative potential of education and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Life and Family Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parmannand was born into a simple farming family. His father, Shri Motiram, owned about fifty bighas of land and was known not only for his hard work as a farmer but also for his social engagement and strength as a community leader. From a young age, Parmannand was exposed to the values of self-respect, discipline, and resilience. His mother, Dahi Devi, was a devout and religious woman who instilled in him the principles of service, compassion, and ethical living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, Parmannand showed extraordinary curiosity and intelligence. Before entering formal schooling at the age of ten, he spent three years tending to livestock, absorbing the rhythms of rural life and learning the values of patience and responsibility. Early influences, particularly the reformist teachings of the Arya Samaj<\/strong><\/a>, guided him toward social awareness and moral clarity. Parmannand\u2019s childhood was also marked by a love for music; he enjoyed playing the flute and other instruments, cultivating a sensitivity to art and expression that would later inform his literary career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education and Early Academic Achievements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite limited resources, Parmannand\u2019s intellectual abilities and tireless determination enabled him to excel academically. By the age of seventeen and a half, he had completed his 10th grade<\/strong>, demonstrating not only sharp intellect but also an exceptional memory and remarkable perseverance. While excelling in academics, he actively participated in sports<\/strong> such as football and kabaddi, and emerged victorious in multiple debate competitions<\/strong>. His leadership skills became evident early on when he was elected President of the Student Council at Jat High School, Jind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial constraints prevented him from pursuing immediate college education. Nevertheless, Parmannand\u2019s passion for learning remained undiminished. He undertook a one-year teacher training course<\/strong> and joined government service as a teacher, where he taught for ten years and earned widespread respect for his pedagogical excellence. During this time, he continued his higher studies independently, completing Prabhakar, F.A., and B.A.<\/strong> degrees as a private student. Eventually, he earned an M.A. in English from Punjab University, Chandigarh<\/strong>, exemplifying his relentless pursuit of knowledge despite personal and financial challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founding of a College and Early Social Engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1966<\/strong>, Parmannand resigned from government service and established a degree college in Jind<\/strong>, where he successfully ran F.A. and B.A. classes for eleven years<\/strong>. This initiative reflected his deep commitment to education and social upliftment. Around the same time, he began engaging more actively in social and political work<\/strong>, focusing particularly on the welfare of backward classes, farmers, and marginalized communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parmannand\u2019s political philosophy was grounded in principled, people-centered service<\/strong>. He believed that politics should be a tool for social good rather than personal gain. Throughout his career, he rejected flattery and self-interest<\/strong>, consistently prioritizing justice, fairness, and empowerment for the underprivileged. His integrity was widely recognized, and even political opponents never accused him of corruption or compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
