Dear Friends & Well-wishers
On 02 & 03 March 2013 we had highly successful
Nation-Building Meet organised at India
International Centre, New Delhi. It was attended
by around 175 well-meaning leading citizens of
our country including those who are or have been
in leadership positions in the government,
judiciary, armed forces, bureaucracy, voluntary
sector, media, corporate sector and education from all over India and abroad.
Padma Bhushan Prof. P. V. Indiresan, Former
Director of IIT Madras, was one of the
inspirations behind this unique event for a noble
cause. I had met him on 18 February 2013 at his
residence and he was eagerly looking forward to
participate and share his thoughts in this event.
Unfortunately he passed away suddenly on 24
February 2013. We dedicated this event to his memory.
Prominent amongst those who attended were Mr.
Justice Rajinder Sachar (Former Chief Justice of
Delhi High Court), Mr. Ram Jethmalani, Mr. T. N.
Chaturvedi (Former Governor of Karnataka), Mr. O.
P. Sharma (Former Governor of Nagaland), Mr. T.
S. Krishna Murthy (Former Chief Election
Commissioner of India), Mr. K. Natwar Singh
(Former Union Minister for External Affairs),

National Panthers Party), Ms. Shailaja Chandra
(Former Chief Secretary of Delhi), Mr. Kuldip
Nayar (Veteran Journalist), Lt. Gen. Raj Kadyan,

J. P. Batra (Former Chairman, Railway Board),

Bharati, Rajasthan), Mr. Anil Bokil, Chairman,
Artha Kranti), Dr. P. S. Rana (Former Chairman,
