In fact, it is an award to all stakeholders of those institutions. It is indeed an honour and privilege for me to have been presented this award by Dr Y V Reddy, our ex-governor, who has himself been awarded the Finance Man of the Decade Award.
It is a matter of great jubilation that, in the past, eminent personalities like Shri A. K. Purwar, Shri M. Damodaran, Dr Y. V. Reddy, Dr Bimal Jalan, etc. have been conferred this award and it is indeed a matter of great pride for me that I have been included in this pantheon of awardees.
