Thanks, Singh ji & all members of efi. On thinking back, I realise that the messages in this month are equal to posts of the first 17 months of our inception. This is but simply unbelievable. First over four years' journey of efi is simply incredible. As Pankaj ji says we are an institution now. All our activities has to be more & more constructively utilised.
