About the AuthorAbout the AuthorAbout the Author

There are always some ventures which are inspired by motives higher than

money. Way back, 1977, a restless enterprising young man Mr. Paras Saklecha

“Dada”, then a fresh graduate, in Ratlam (M.P.), decided

to do something for the young graduates from the Hindi

heartland in order to enable them to get public sector jobs.

Long ago he founded a ‘not for profit’ organization,

YUWAM with a mission of “Moulding the Youth–Building

the Nation” and since its inception it has been imparting

classroom coaching and guidance to thousands of youths

for banking services recruitment. Run by high octane and

totally selfless people, today, it has become a study circle

par excellence. We take great pride in seeing the panoramic view of

transformation of a little seed into a grand Banyan tree where thousands of

youths take guidance and head towards their destinations.

Mr. M.S. Shekhawat, the author of this book has been associated with Mr.

Saklecha and Yuwam from day one and has devoted himself body and soul to

the mission. Mr. Shekhawat has about thirty years of rich teaching experience

and today he has such a formidable command and innovative way of teaching

the English language that he has truly very few peers in this context. He has

had the honour of being a guest member of Banking Services Recruitment

Board, Jaipur and the guest faculty for Pre Recruitment

Training Programmes organized by various nationalized

banks.

Mr. Shekhawat has written about fifteen books on

English so far. His book on English Grammar has won

great critical acclaim for both its preciseness and simplicity.

He has left no stone unturned in ensuring that the most

esoteric rules of the English Grammar are simplified

enough to help even the most ordinary student, whether from English medium

or Hindi medium, grasp them easily. Besides, his book “English Fluency

Development Course” can veritably be called his crowning glory and India’s

first Fluency Development Course of its kind for Hindi speaking people. The

material therein and sentence generating structures are so effective that if one

sincerely studies it, he will incur the envy of everyone with his stupendous

knowledge and fluency. He has also written a couple of books on English

Vocabulary and usage which give a number of examples at each single entry,

thereby a committed student can gain an unbeatable erudition in English.

Moreover thousands of sentences, phrases and sentence patterns leave even

the experts highly impressed and leave no area of English untouched.

Besides having written a huge body of work on the English language, Mr.

Shekhawat, in his spare time just as a hobby, teaches the aspirants to various

competitive exams through Yuwam Centres. He conducts classes and workshops

on English Fluency Development Techniques, Communication and

Pronunciation skills, Personality Development and Soft Skills, etc. Very soon,

he intends to conduct such workshops throughout the country. There is much

more in the pipeline. Come and experience the magic of a man’s life long

devotion.

May God bless his efforts.
