In 1984 he got research scholarship from Ulka advertising for his thesis on Modi script. He use tooyjyjy teach in JJ also.

Today we are here to get some insights into calligraphy and Modi script which needs to documented. 1\. What is the difference between typography and calligraphy? Is calligraphy independent of typeface? 2\. Can you shed some light on Modi script. When was it used, how did it cease to exist? What are the efforts put into relive it? 3\. How different is Modi from Devanagari? 4\. Why do you think handwriting is so critical when the world is going digital? 5\.
