He spent his childhood in Bayanchandman Sum, Central Province, and came to the country's capital as a student. Now he lives with his wife and two children. Since 2014, he has been working for 10 years in DHIS and in the field of education for 12 years.
- Let's start the interview with a story that connects work and life with DHI.
Police Captain D. Battor: I started my career as a general education teacher and have worked successfully at almost every level of the education sector. Since 2015, as a teaching methodologist at the Postgraduate School of the Law Enforcement University, I have taken professional and skill tests, interviews, health and physical exams, passed the Board of Directors meeting, and have been working and working with this large organization with high standards until today.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: When I first entered the University of Internal Affairs, it was the 80th anniversary of the historical school.
In the summer of 2014, Bayanchandman, a teacher who was on his merit leave from DHI, came to Suman to farm and met my mother and father. At that time, I met Lieutenant Colonel Enkhtaivan, the head of the Information Technology Department, when my mother told me that they were looking for a programmer in the Information Technology Department of DSU. Since the basic profession did not match, Lt. Col. Enkhbold of the Public Relations Service recommended the chief to work for an indefinite probationary period. I sat together with studio director Lieutenant P. Enkhtayvan and graphic designer Lieutenant B. Gandol, and from that time I was working on the development of multimedia lessons and electronic lessons. He was first appointed to the position of a kitchen preparer at DHI, and has been working as a trainee teacher and teacher at Elder School, as an expert in charge of electronic and distance learning, an expert in charge of information systems, and a senior specialist in charge of electronic and distance learning at SBTG.
- Who gave you your name? Why was this name chosen?
Police Captain D. Battor: It is said that my father gave it to me. My brother's name is Munkhtor. He probably followed the tradition of people of that time giving their sons names with the same meaning.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: My two brothers have "bayar" in their names, but I was wondering why mine was different. A person with a book was given as a symbol that the state should be strong.
- What else do you call?

Police Captain D. Battor: My family members do not call us by name. Friends for ten years, Baagii, university classmates, Toro, but in recent years, they have been called Tomoo.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: At first, family members, friends, and classmates called him Baagiy. In the university, the independent teacher is called Toroo, and when he stayed as a teacher at the school he graduated from, everyone related to him began to call him Toroo. After working in the same office with his wife, he got the name "small government" in front of his name.
- Have you ever been confused?
Police Captain D. Battor: People of our school talk a lot on the phone, mistaking it for Senior Lieutenant E. Battor. Since we work in the same place, we will immediately start talking about work. He always corrects me, but sometimes, if there is a problem that I know about, he answers it on behalf of E. Battor.
I don't know who gave it, but one day it was called Big State and Small State. When employees mistakenly say, "It's not me, it's a small country," it's funny because they're calling you big and small by what criteria. For now, it is understood that the titles are small and big. Who will be the eldest to get the title of captain?
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: It is very confusing behind the phone. When I say "I'm from a small country" I hear the sound of "Oh" laughing from behind the phone. Sometimes, our listeners, even ordinary citizens, come in to learn that it is a small state. It's like our people are guaranteed to make mistakes.
- Do you have any feelings when your life is praised or criticized?
Police Captain D. Battor: We accept compliments and criticisms as equals.
Senior police lieutenant E. Battor: If you think that the praise is 100 percent, it seems that 10 percent is telling me. Usually, when the name Battur is heard on TV and FM radio, I listen carefully.
- What are the principles you follow in your work and life?
Police Captain D. Battur: To be fair. It's important to always put yourself in the shoes of others and understand each other.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: I think that life always rewards those who work hard.
- Is there someone from the community that you follow as an example?
Police Captain D. Battor: Regarding work, it is the first deputy director of our University. Always looking for something new. Supports initiatives.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: There are many good scientists, teachers, officers, and supervisors in our colleagues at DHI. For me, doctor, professor, and police colonel Ch.Nyamsuren are my role models.
- Is there a book that made a deep impression on you and that you want to recommend to others?
Police Captain D. Battor: Listeners and students should take a look at the book "Tsoilogsod". There were many ideas to focus on, such as discipline, habits, and gradual progression.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: "The Glory of Heaven" is a 12-volume novel by Damban Torbat, Honored Cultural Worker of Mongolia.
- Do you have anything to say to Battor from the time you were a listener or student?
Police Captain D. Battor: You can't get back the wasted time, try.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: Be patient. Go to bed early.
- What is the most important thing you have learned from your work and life?
Police Captain D. Battor: When you have the right mindset and don't lose the trust of others, your work and friends will be arranged automatically.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: Instead of immediately believing something, I think it is necessary to investigate. Research is the process of creating knowledge for oneself. It should be nurtured as young as possible.
- What was the best decision you made in your life?
Police Captain D. Battor: It's a matter of time rather than a right or wrong decision. Looking back, I think choosing the Mongolian University of Education schedule in 2002 was the right decision.
Senior Police Lieutenant E. Battor: I feel that my decision to work in an educational institution is the right one.
