She had excellent academic career. She had two Master
degrees, one from the University of Bombay (1956) and
one from the University of California, Berkely (1962). In
1976 she received Doctorate in Sociology from the Tata
Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.
She joined IIPS in 1963 and served the institute in various
capacities. In 1988 she retired from IIPS as Professor and
th
Head, Department of Population Policies and Programme. She
was considered as a best teacher in IIPS. She was also involved
in research and guided students for their doctoral research. Her
book "Principles of Population Studies" (Co-authored with Prof.
Tara Kanitkar) is well acclaimed by all demographers and
students. The first edition of this book was published in 1978 by
Himalaya Publication House. Recently, in 2010, the 20 edition
of this book was published .
Besides being an academician, Prof. Asha Bhende, was a well
acclaimed actor and model too. Despite a demanding career in
academics, she continued her passion in acting and came to be
recognized as a multi faceted actress. She received the award
for the best actress by the Government of Maharashtra in 1964-
65. She has modeled for many commercials. Her modeling for
the recent commercial advertisements such as State Bank of
India Life Insurance (which won an award in 2007) and Asian
Paints Tractor Emulsions (January, 2009) are worth mentioning.
On her 80 birthday, she released a book she's written on her life,
titled (In my own world, am I)
Prof. Asha Bhende led a very productive and fruitful life all
