Harish Chandra Verma, ameliorate known equally H C Verma, is i of the nearly read authors of Physics inward India. His 2 volumes majority – Concepts of Physics – is widely regarded equally a must-have for anyone preparing for IIT JEE or whatsoever other Engineering Entrance Examination.
It is aught brusk of surprising that H C Verma has non revised this majority since 1992. The content of majority has remained the same for 24 years, in addition to even thence it is the best sellers amidst the lot.

Profile of H C Verma
Prof. Verma was born inward 1952 inward Darbhanga, Bihar. He came to Patna when his begetter was transferred to the majuscule of Bihar. He was non a brilliant pupil during schoolhouse days, in addition to his begetter used to give lots of fourth dimension to learn him mathematics in addition to Science.
Somehow, he passed the matriculation assay out in addition to got admission inward the Patna Science College. This College taught him lot from where he did exceptionally good in addition to got B. Sc. Honors inward Physics. He thence went to the IIT Kanpur for M.Sc inward Physics. He did that in addition to returned dorsum to Patna Science College inward 1980 equally a lecturer.

That could stimulate got been quite slow for him. However, he decided to pursue enquiry rather than making huge amount of money.
At IIT Kanpur, he wrote approximately other majority – Quantum of Physics. He started to travel inward the expanse of Nuclear Physics.
An Extraordinary Life
There is no denying that he is getting huge coin equally salary. He is senior Professor at IIT – Kanpur. But, you lot volition hold upward surprised to know that he doesn’t ain a car.

He goes out of IIT campus in addition to takes regular classes inward slum areas. He equally good gives schoolhouse fees to those miserable students who desire to pursue education.
Now coming to the Concepts of Physics, Bharti Bhavan is the publisher of this book, equally you lot mightiness know.

He donates all of this coin to charity in addition to the Prime Minister Relief Fund. He is non taking a unmarried pie of royalty coming out of this majority for many years.
