My previous post was about my joining back in the institution,partly due the request from the management side.Never had I even dreamt then, that my next post would be a tribute to our chairman and founder of the group of educational institutions.His sudden demise due to a massive cardiac arrest in a distant country had shattered his family members,friends,well wishes,followers,staff and above all his dear daughters of the institution beyond consolation.Basically a preacher, he was more importantly a crusader and an advocate for the cause of giving free education to the underprivileged girls from kindergarten to the doctorate level.He wanted his beloved students to get only the " best ", be it education, food or accomodation.There was no question of compromise in terms of quality,since it was free." Save a girl child " and " Adoption against the abortion of girl child " were his ambitious missions.Empowering the girls to become great leaders and ladies of India was his vision.He had love,care and compassion for everyone in the campus.
A great attribute of his quality, which impressed me a lot, very rare among men of his calibre, was his unique nature of moving freely with the staff,the employees, and the workers at all levels.Having open minded discussions with the staff and listening to their opinions are not common in the organisations of our country.All these positive traits, I feel, must be the outcome of his frequent travels to the advanced contries of the west.Whenever he was present in the campus,he would be the first to greet the staff in the reception.The chairman of the institutions,having the same food with the staff and the students under the same roof is something very special to be applauded.
He was a symbol of unflinching courage,determination,untiring efforts with an active interest in all fields and a direct involvement in all the tasks,he wanted to execute.Unlike the other heads, who used to sit in their airconditioned rooms and carry out their errands only with the direct contact of the immediate subordinates, he would enter the arena.Being very outspoken compliments were paid to the deserving and also too frank to point out the mistakes.With a never say die attitude,he would accomplish whatever he desired,whatsoever, might be the obstacles.It is so sad that such a life of dedication should come to an end abruptly,even before sixty eight.We have lost our role model,philosopher,guide and above all our beloved father.
