Early Life and Education
He spent his childhood in the scarcity and hardships of the rural environment. He silently learned the lessons of Struggle for the Survival that affluent people never learn throughout their lives. Up to class five, he studied in Primary school at a very small rural place called Sihari and for completing his sixth to eighth standard education, he moved to a deeply rural area called Rasulpur. Heera Lal rates this period as the golden period of his life because this was the time when he confronted with the stern realities of a hard life and learned the art of survival in difficult times. During this, he realized that each odd condition that comes across while doing a task fills the man with a mighty force, which when utilized properly, gets the task completed.

During his Intermediate (UP Board) education, an intense desire developed in him that the world around us should change and lives should be physically and mentally easy to live. At the same time, he also realized that it requires a lot of strength and power to bring a change in the environment and in the existing systems.

The desire alone is of no use. So, he decided to acquire power through education - knowledge is power. He completed his B. Tech. Degree in Electrical Engineering from G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, U. S. Nagar, Uttaranchal, in 1989. But his keen interest to serve the society and benefit the masses, forced him to leave his M. Tech. studies from IT BHU Varanasi, UP, in the middle and join NTPC Ltd. ( in 1993) and later on U.P. Civil Services ( in 1994). His entry into Civil Services gave him new enthusiasm and zeal to fulfill his childhood dream that had grown quite big by now. Now, he had the resources, power, and machinery with him to serve the masses and bring changes in their lives. He took full advantage of this platform and started helping others and enjoying his work.

After working for more than 16 years he took a leap ahead. To strengthen his capabilities and sharpen his skills and wisdom, he went to the USA to attend a year training program on Public Administration, Conflict Resolution, and Leadership of International and Non-Government Organizations. He returned back to India and resumed his duties in May 2010. Further, he started his doctoral research in the area of ICT enabled good governance in 2015. He completed his Ph.D. in 2020 with the Title "Role of ICT in Achieving Good Governance, with a Reference to Uttar Pradesh: A Study of select Government Programs".
