Former Head, Department of Music (Instrumental), MCM D.A.V. College for Women, Chandigarh<\/p>\n

I was born in 1955 to Smt. Satyawati and renowned musicologist Dr. (Prof.) Panna Lal Madan. My formal training in music began at an early age, completing my first-year diploma from Prayag Sangeet Samiti at just four years old. Over the years, I pursued advanced training and academic excellence in the field of music, consistently achieving top honors.<\/p>\n

I graduated with B.A. (Hons.) in Music and M.A. (Music \u2013 Instrumental) from Panjab University, securing Gold Medals at both levels. I continued to excel in M.Phil (Music), again topping the university with a Gold Medal, and later earned my Ph.D. on the topic \u201cSwatantrata ke Pashchat Punjab mein Hindustani Tantrivaadkon ka Yogdaan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recognized with College Colours, the Roll of Honour, and the University Colour, I was honored throughout my student years for academic and artistic excellence.<\/p>\n

My teaching career began at Government College for Girls, Ludhiana, where I taught postgraduate classes at a young age. I later served at KRM D.A.V. College, Nakodar, before joining MCM D.A.V. College for Women, Chandigarh, where I taught for 36 years. I retired in 2016 as Head of the Department of Music (Instrumental). Many of my students went on to achieve top positions at the university level.<\/p>\n
