TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir or Madam.
It is my pleasure to acquaint you with one of my outstanding student, Abhishek Jain.
Who is keen to pursue the doctor of philosophy at your esteemed Institution.
I have known Abhishek since 2012, when he enrolled into the Master of Technology
in Environmental Management of rivers and lakes (Alternate Hydro Energy Center) here at
Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. As part of this program, Abhishek took my courses
on Application of RS and GIS in environment management, Modeling, Simulation and
computer applications and Waste water collection treatment disposal and performed very
well in all the subjects. I have been also supervising him for his thesis project, Solid Waste
Management of Jaipur City. Abhishek present outstanding commitment to his studies. He is a
quite remarkable student with strong research interest. Among his peers, he stood out by
always being up-to- date with currently topical discussions. The quality of his research work
on his thesis is compelling and he managed to find beautifully simple solution to very
challenging problems. With his multicultural background and fluent proficiency of English
and Hindi he is able to approach many scientific questions from different angles. During the
course he always made many valuable contributions to group discussions. Finally it should
not be left unmentioned that Abhishek is very pleasant person to work with.
I appreciate Abhishek's decision to further pursue his specific research interests at
your university and I am confident that he will be a highly valuable addition to your PhD
program, where he could develop and apply his extraordinary talents.
Furthermore, I am certain that he would qualify for any means of financial aid that you
could offer him, and I also recommend him for a position as a teaching or research assistant.
Should you have any question with regards to Abhishek Jain I will be pleased to answer
them.
