Biography+
I, Sukumar Santra, have built a strong academic and professional foundation in the field of commerce, finance, and administration through continuous learning and dedicated effort. My academic journey began with the successful completion of a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours), which provided me with core knowledge in accounting, taxation, financial management, and business administration. This initial foundation helped shape my interest in finance and strengthened my analytical and problem-solving skills.
To further enhance my understanding of advanced financial concepts, I pursued a Master of Commerce (M.Com), where I gained deeper insights into auditing, corporate accounting, and cost management. With the growing complexity of modern financial systems, I decided to enrich my academic qualifications by completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Finance, which helped me develop practical expertise in areas such as investment planning, cost control, and risk management.
Recognizing the importance of managerial competencies in today’s professional environment, I went on to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a specialization in finance and administration. This qualification equipped me with strong leadership abilities, strategic decision-making skills, and the capability to manage institutional financial operations effectively.
Research / Administrative Experience+
My administrative journey reflects a deep commitment to integrity, transparency, and efficiency. I believe in continuous learning and regularly update myself on financial policies, taxation norms, and government regulations relevant to higher education institutions. Over the years, I have successfully contributed to improving financial reporting systems, enhancing administrative controls, and supporting institutional goals through effective decision-making.
Throughout my career, I have developed and refined several administrative and managerial skills, including:
Financial Administration – Budgeting, reporting, auditing, and fund management.
Policy Implementation – Ensuring compliance with institutional, governmental, and donor guidelines.
Team Management – Leading accounts and administrative staff while fostering a collaborative work environment.
Operational Efficiency – Streamlining workflows, digitizing records, and improving institutional processes.

Crisis Management – Handling discrepancies, resolving financial issues, and ensuring smooth operational continuity.
Teaching / Other Experience+
My academic pursuits have been closely aligned with my professional journey, enabling me to serve in various capacities across reputed organizations. Over the years, I have worked as Junior Superintendent (Audit) at Netaji Subhas Open University, Assistant (Accounts/Administration) at Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Block Accounts Manager at Block Health and Family Welfare Samity, and Program Officer (Accounts & Administration) at the Child In Need Institute. These roles allowed me to apply my academic knowledge to practical challenges, including financial planning, auditing, budgeting, and administrative decision-making.
Currently, I am serving as an Accounts Officer at Presidency University, where I am responsible for managing financial operations, ensuring statutory compliance, maintaining transparency in accounts, and supporting administrative functions. My academic achievements have been instrumental in my professional growth, enabling me to handle complex financial systems, adopt technological advancements, and uphold institutional policies with integrity and precision.
