Sir,Dr Fakir Chand Kohli who passed away recently was the Founder CEO of Tata Consultancy Service (TCS),which is considered among top Information Technologies(IT) companies in the world,It is the second largest Indian company by market capitalisation .

Today he is considered as the Architect of modern India's Information Technology (I.T) industry,he was a visionary leader who was able to see years ahead the opportunity for India in this sector and started buildings Tata Consultancy Service (TCS) many decades back, when almost nothing existed in india in I.T sector except, India had international standard premier autonomous public Technical and research educational institutes like IISc/IITs/NITs, which enriched India's human resources in technology sector,Aluminis of these institutes had already started making names for themselves globally and for the India.

Dr Fakeer Chand Kohli was a visionary leader who very early foresaw that India with such great technological institutes like IISc,IIT's and NIT's, "Information Technology''(IT) services can be an industry in which India could build a core national strength.”

He was a leader extraordinary ,whose strength was that he could "sift jewels from the sand" example is, when he could see years ahead about the IT revolution which has played an important role in economic growth,as CEO of TCS, his Iconic leadership and passion over the decades played a key role in helped India in establishing a trusted IT (IT-ITeS) service provider to large global companies,which provide India in adoption modern technology and greater research in academic institutes and starting new courses in computer science in these country's premier technical institutes like IIT's/IISc/NIT's.

In spite of high position he held as CEO of TCS,he will treat everyone with respect and compassion and never belittled or offended anyone,

Dr Kohli worked with Dr. Purushottam Kashinath Kelakar who is still best remembered for being the founding director of the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Kanpur, established in 1959,they helped in in developing IIT's and starting new courses so that I.I.T's can match with any top global Institutes of higher education,their efforts led to IIT Kanpur starting India's first M.Tech programme in computer science,Indeed this was a great achievement for India, their primary objective was to establish an institution in India devoted to the pursuit of academic excellence of international standard.

To bring out the best from the teaching faculty of these premier technological institutes of India (IIT's/IISc/NIT's) , Dr Kohli will even encourage the teachers/professors from these institutes of higher learning to upgrade their talent by participating in international conferences or going for higher education like M.Tech /PhD to upgrading their talent/qualification further in top American institutes/West,

Also Dr Kohli firmly believed that multiple language competencies for the Indian IT industry would be a game changer in the future for the IT industry in India .

He strongly advocated, India needed bright young people with good education especially with technical education in computer science — something which India had in abundance like “it has such extraordinary educational institutes of International standard, like IIT's/IISc/NIT's/IIM's,

He believed with all these accomplishment, India has no business being a nation of so many poor people,” h ence we have to do lot more, he was deeply pained at the poverty level in India,h e was of the firm opinion that the with the combined technological power of India and education,India as nation can do a lot more,I t could further eradicate poverty and further enrich India’s enormous human resource,hence he piloted a big campaign for education of school dropouts, removal of illiteracy, adult education,

He was a true legend, who laid the foundation for India's spectacular Information technological(IT) revolution,then Ramadorai (TCS), Narain Murthy(Infosys), Azim Premji(Wipro) ,Shiv Nadar (HCL), Nandan Nilekeni(INFOSYS), S Gopalkrishna (Infosys),N S Raghavan(Infosys) and S D Shibulal(infosys),N Chandrasekaran (TCS), who all took forward I T revolution further and set the stage for Modern Indian economy we enjoy today.TCS is third largest IT service company in the world,which is considered jewel among the Tata Group,and contribute 70 % to the Tata group's revenue.

Dr Fakeer Chand Kohli,who was the founder and first CEO of TCS,was widely called as the father of Software industry who pioneered India's Technology revolution and helped Nation build 100 billion dollars Information Technology(IT) Industry, today Indian IT-ITeS sector makes huge contribution to the country's GDP, and Indian I.T contributes to almost half of global IT-ITeS outsourcing market,he was pioneer of India's IT revolution who laid the foundation of country's mammoth IT-ITeS service Industry which is touching the total revenues of about 191 billions dollars in FY20,out of which domestic revenue is US 44 Billions dollars and export revenue is 147 billion dollars in FY20 which employs millions.

Dr F C Kohli also headed the Nasscom and was president and chairman of Indian I.T services advocacy body NASSCOM ( 1995-1996), as a part of the body's executive committee, he helped to shape global partnerships and showcase opportunities to deliver IT services from India to large global companies successfully, In paying tribute to Dr F C Kohli, they said,he will always be remembered for his pioneer contribution and remarkable leadership at Nasscom.

Dr Kohli was a visionary leader, interest of nation was at the core of his heart,he will believed, that it will be shame for India, if experienced Indian I.T software professionals do cutting-edge technological work only for global multinational companies,hence he used to depute at least 20% of experienced workforce of TCS for domestic projects in spite of knowing that Indian projects will fetch less than 10% of revenue for TCS as comparing to US Projects.

Dr F C Kohli was a true nationalist, a keen follower of technology trends in China,hence he was deeply concerned about India's failure to develop its hardware industry, which stood in sharp contrast to the shining success of its software industry(IT-ITeS) ,he was a very strong advocate for setting up the hardware industry in India for the manufacture of Semiconductor plants, Computer Hardware Industry etc that will save precious foreign exchange spent in importing hardware,

Another important reason being, indigenous hardware Industry in India was not developed because Indian I.T companies were generating handsome revenues by doing IT-ITeS projects in the USA/West,hence not much attention was given towards developing indigenous I.T hardware industry,today China is much much ahead of India in I.T Hardware.

Dr F C Kohli was always worried about widening gap between India and China in hardware Industry,India's hardware imports stands 60 Billions US dollars and out of this Semiconductors imports alone is 20 billions US Dollars,today when we are moving towards digital economy in big way and it is Hardware which is the backbone of the Digital economy, if we had paid attention of Dr Kohi concerns about developing Indigenous Hardware Industry,at least this Import of hardware imports could have been cut to less than half.

T ill very end of his life,he remained simple, in many of his conversations with his friends and colleagues, he would lament and used to say ,he has some regrets left in his life,he believed even with the phenomenal growth of Information Technology(IT) sector in India, India as nation can do a lot more, biggest beneficiary of I.T is only the Indian Industry which has been enormously benefited with modern I.T services,which they have got at the friction of cost as comparing to US,but Indian nation as whole has not much benefitted ,

Dr Kohli was also deeply pained at the poverty level in India, he was of the firm opinion that with the combined power of technology and education with international acclaimed Education in Institute,India as nation can do a lot more, It could eradicate poverty and further enrich India’s enormous human resource.hence he piloted a big campaign for education of school dropouts removal of illiteracy, adult education, hence he piloted a big campaign for education of school dropouts, removal of illiteracy, adult education

With all these accomplishment, India has no business being a nation of so many poor people,” h ence we have to do lot more, he was deeply pained at the poverty level in India,h e was of the firm opinion that the with the combined technological power of India and education,India as nation can do a lot more .

He strongly advocated, India needed bright young people with good education, something country already has in abundance as “India has such extraordinary educational institutes of International standard, like IIT's/IISc/NIT's/IIM's,then India has no business being a nation of so many poor people,” h ence we have to do lot more,and he was deeply pained at the poverty level in India.

Dr Fakir Chand Kohli had a postgraduate degree MS in Electrical Engineering from the world renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1950.

Present Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran who once headed TCS called Kohli as a "true legend" who laid the foundation of what has been a "spectacular IT revolution" and set the stage for a dynamic modern economy that we are enjoying today.

Dr Kohli with all these accomplishments, name and fame, he still remained grounded,his simplicity and thoughtfulness is a lesson for all us,he had risen above accolades and recognitions despite his several notable achievements;of numerous awards and Honours for his exceptional contribution to the Indian software industry , those include,Padma Bhushan India's third-highest civilian honour for his contribution to the Indian software industry , international recognitions and Honorary doctorate from and citations,

India will always remember Dr F C kohli in the same league as other legends like JRD Tata, APJ Abdul Kalam,Verghese Kurien, MS Swaminathan,E Sreedharan and Mother Teresa, who all contributed to nation building with their legendary work in different fields.

Today when too much commercialisation is taking place in all spheres of our life,one rarely gets such genuinely caring leaders and lifelong mentors like Dr F C Kohali .In spite of the high positions he held,he was always gracious,grounded and who was willing to help others .

”Dr F C Kohli was a true nationalist and karma Yogi ”,he was a person of enormous character, integrity and principle, These kinds of people are rare in public life in India, for them welfare of India was at the core of their heart,hence Post-retirement,Dr F C Kohli took upon himself to use technology for an iconic work on adult literacy as national mission,which could have made nation fully literate in 15 to 20 years,if only successive governments had taken this work forward whole heartedly,If India had few more such people like F C Kohli ,to day India would have been fully developed nation few decades ago only.

”Dr F C Kohli leaves behind the enduring legacy of an Icon,who laid the foundation for India's spectacular I.T Revolution ,today India's I.T industry has given job opportunity to millions of people and generates large revenue to national exchequer, he used to say India has everything which can make Indian a global Economic power .His commitment ,hard work and foresight shall continue to inspire the nation for generations to come.

Nandan Nilekani "Architect of Aadhar".

Shri Nandan Nilekani Ji is best known in the country, who gave "Aadhaar" Unique Identification Authority of India (UADAI) to all resident Indians, it was set up with a view to issuing 12 digits unique identity to every citizen of the country,

Shri Nandan Nilekani Ji was appointed the Chairman of Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI), with the cabinet rank of Minister by UPA government, In 2009 Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Sigh Ji himself invited him for this prestigious post.

Most praiseworthy think about Nandan is, as chairman of Unique Identification numbers(UIDAI) with the rank of cabinet minister, he didn't draw any salary but it as deposited in prime Minister relief fund, he even traveled on his personal expenses.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a statutory authority established under the provisions of the Aadhaar Act(Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services), by the government of India, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity). bring this down as a separate para down,

Aadhar has become an institution in itself.

Aadhar has become an institution in itself which connects ordinary people of this country with the banking system and for other welfare schemes flawlessly.

Aadhaar(UIDAI) is a multipurpose national identity card, which is used as identity for the government subsidies, applying passport to opening bank account,personal identity etc, Main purpose of Aadhaar is that it will be used primarily as the basis for delivery of efficient government's welfare schemes to the common man of this country, Today 111 crores people have Aadhaar card/number with them.

The UIDAI is mandated to assign a 12-digit unique identification (UID) number (termed "Aadhaar") to all the residents of India.

The important purpose of Aadhaar (UIDAI) was to eliminate duplicate and fake identities which can be verified and authenticated in an easy, cost-effective way from anywhere and everywhere online.

The Aadhar card scheme, which has enrolled more than 1 billion people, has helped the exchequer save about $9 billion(about Rs 60,000 crores) by eliminating fraud in beneficiary lists, its principal Architect and inventor Shri Nandan Nilekani has said here.

Today "Aadhaar" is being used in our day to day life, as a certified citizens identity card provided by the government which has empowered residents of India with a unique identity and a digital platform to authenticate anytime, anywhere.

The important purpose of Aadhaar (UIDAI) was to eliminate duplicate and fake identities which can be verified and authenticated in an easy, cost-effective way from anywhere and everywhere online.

Today "Aadhaar" is being used in our day to day life, as a certified citizens identity card provided by the government, which has empowered residents of India with a unique identity and a digital platform to authenticate anytime, anywhere,

Advantage "Aadhaar" in Banking .

Presently almost half of India's population, has no bank account, with advent of smartphones in our day to day life and Aadhaar card, which has already been issued to more than 89 per cent of the total population, and enrollment for "Aadhaar" is increasing every day, thus 1.2 billion Indians will get a chance to get access to the banking system,and for services like loans,third-party payments etc.

This is the influence of technology in our day to day lives.

Shri N R Narayana Murthy / Family.
Shri Mr. N R Narayana Murthy comes from a very humble background, his father was a school teacher, He is a highly educated person, who with his hard work, joined National Institute Engineering, Mysore then got M. Tech from I.I.T from Kanpur,

Mr. N R Narayana Murthy is married to Sudha Kulkarni and have two children, his son Shri Rohan Murthy, who studied computer science from Cornell University(USA) and Ph.D. from Harvard University, and his daughter Akshata Murthy studied at Claremont college in Los Angeles,who is married to Shri Rishi Sanak who is MP in the UK belonging to Conservative party.

Mr. N R Narayana Murthy had a tremendous opportunity in settle abroad where salaries are much higher, the standard of living was much better, but he returned to India as he had a burning desire to do something on his own, in his country as an entrepreneur.

Mr and Mrs Narain Murthy are deeply committed persona, who wedded to the idea of better India, they believe some part of personel wealth should be shared for the good causes like welfare for those who can't afford health care,or education,hence they have contributed large part of their wealth to various social causes ,

Corporate governance
Shri Murthy, is a man of very integrity,and believes there should be a high standard of corporate governance in Indian corporate sector, as he is of opinion,corporate governance in India is far behind the global standards, When Satyam scam broke out, all I.T companies in India and abroad were looking to buy its assets at the cheap prices, as Satyam had a highly experienced I.T professionals, with top IT infrastructure and good international client age especially in the US. But Shri Narayan Murthy said, Satyam is a tainted company and Infosys would not touch it, and it never participated in the bids and totally kept away,

His mantra in life is fairness, accountability, and transparency and basic core values which he has perished all his life.

Shri Murthy's Leftist Leanings,
During the 50's and sixty's in the country, there were large anti US feelings because Russia was building large steel in India which the US refused to do that, it was also helping India in Defense equipment and in other ventures,Mysore being a middle-class town, where education and culture were essences of any middle-class family,his father was stanch Nehruvian,Shri Murthy had a strong leftist leanings,and he held on to his leftist innings till late in life .

Mr. N R Narayana Murthy "Staunch nationalist".
In his personal life,is human being par excellence,down to earth person,a statesman, philanthropist and staunch nationalist,who is blessed with astute business sense,he always dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur in his own way and wanted to form such a company in his home country India, which would create large job opportunities for the country’s youngsters especially in the technological sector. Thus Infosys was born, when he along with his six colleagues all highly qualified Engineers from reputed Institutes,co-founded "Infosys a true Indian company" which provided I.T business consulting, technology, engineering, and outsourcing services.

When Shri Narain Murthy was abroad where he learned a lot there, he was earning a handsome salary in western countries, but still, he wanted to come back to India and start a company and become an entrepreneur.

Everybody knows Narayana Murthy as one who made what Infosys is today ,he always stood for value-based corporate governance and believed in business with human face,hence it was his personal values in life for which he stood for, that helped him and his co promotors in Infosys to reach such greater heights in business, where they are today.his leadership and entrepreneurship skills made a lot of differences in bringing growth of Infosys, thus bringing a new revolution in I.T in India, which helped the Indian economy in a big way, Large I.T Parks were set up where thousands of I.T engineers would work, that also helped the growth of the service sector in a big way in India. Narayana Murthy after taking Infosys to such a greater height, he gracefully retired to give chance to others co-promoters to head Infosys.

Philanthropy.
In his personal life, he is human being par excellence, down to earth person,a statesman, philanthropist and staunch nationalist, who believes, part of individual wealth should be spent for good and charitable causes,hence he liberally contributes to good social causes at personal level and also through Infosys foundation which is managed by his legendary wife Mrs. Sudha Murthy.

Inspiration for country men.

Shri Azim Premji,Shri N R Narayana Murthy,Shri Nandan Nilkani and Shri Shiv Nadar's are great visionary business leaders of contemporary India,their profound achievements and values should be source of inspiration for every Indians,we hope young entrepreneurs will walk into their steps. These persons had made a daring forays in Information.Technology sector(I.T) based on their conviction of the future into this sector, No doubt country's premier Technological institutes Like I.I.T's, NIT's and I.I.Sc have played a vital role in the growth of these entrepreneurs and Indian Information Technology(I.T) sector, Indian I.T is a product of higher education system of India. Even before people in India knew what globalization is, these I.T business leaders had already set up a global empire and placed India on the global technology map ,as a power house of Information technology(I.T).

Shri Narendra Kumar Patni,Co founder of Patni Computers(PCS),who passed away recently,will be best remembered as the,Pioneer of India’s information technology (IT) services revolution,he was one of first in India to enter I.T sector,which has grown into a multi billion dollars one,he inspired a whole new generation of young entrepreneurs to plunge into information technology (I.T) software services business. Shri Patni was a true visionary leader, who was not only a pioneer of the I.T sector, but also one of the finest persons.

It is really unfortunate and saddening that one of the fathers of the Indian IT sector is no more with us, he was a strong entrepreneur,friendly person who always used to encourage his employees.

Shri Narendra Kumar Patni "doyen of the Indian information technology (I.T)".
Shri Narendra Kumar Patni was a doyen of the indian information technology (I.T) industry in the true sense" with great entrepreneur spirit, and a human being par excellence,during the period,when Information Technology(I.T) sector in India,started growing rapidly,Country"s media was always full of stories about Indian I.T sector,though Shri Patni's name was not found on top pages on any newspapers or TV,but in the annals of history his name will always be revered by the Indian information technology(IT) sector as the Pioneer I.T technology entrepreneur.

He had the grand vision, foresight,guts and the entrepreneurship spirit to build a new generation of a industry,information technology (I.T), but the biggest impact of growth of I.T is.it has created millions of well paying jobs not only in India but globally and has greatly helped Indian economy.

Up to early 90's in India,entrepreneur activities were predominantly centered around agriculture,and agri related businesses and manufacturing to some extent,but Shri Patni heralded a new era in the information technology (IT) revolution in the country,which is a the sunrise industry today,it is employing millions of young engineers, exports billions of dollars I.T services.

Even lot of entrepreneurs in US and India owe their success to Shri Patni.

Shri Narendra Kumar Patni and his brothers Ashok and Gajendra,were co promoters of PCS,they were always simple down to earth people,unlike other business tycoons,once their business flourishes,they will start leading an extravagant life,buy big flashy cars,and live in most expensive apartment,Mr Jay Forester who was his professor at MIT, said about Shri Patni that he was a excellent student,with good judgement,and man of a very high integrity ,

He was called affectionately "Naren" by his associates and friends,he had a great ability to carry his people with him,some of his senior employee stayed with him for long, some even for more than two decades,it is no less achievements , specially in IT sector,in true sense he was a compassionate human being who genuinely cared abut his employees,

Sale of PCS
Shri Patni was very sad till end of his life,that due to differences among family members,brothers,in 2011, he had to sell his NASDAQ listed I.T company PCS to a much smaller I.T company,i Gate,as he had built the PCS into a large company from scratch,and he very painstakingly nurtured it,PCS was India’s sixth-largest software exporter, for $1.2 billion,in 2002 General Atlantic was drafted as an Investor in PCS and finally he had to exist from the firm.

"This acquisition of PCS by a much smaller company i Gate ,left him deeply saddened and hurt,he felt immense regret,and slowly withdrew from an active corporate life and remained to himself, Then he took interest in classical Indian music,he even started attending musical concerts.

Legacy of Shri Patni,
Shri Narendra Patni's death marks an end of an era of a pioneering leadership,though he has left us for eternity, but he leaves behind a great legacy,which has made such an profound impact,that in annals of history,he will be remembered for generations to come for bringing I.T revolution in India.

The world is mourning the death legendary of American space astronaut Neil Armstrong who was the first to land on the Moon in July 1969 as commander of spacecraft Apollo 11. In paying glowing tribute to Armstrong, US President Barack Obama has rightly said that Neil will always be remembered as one of the greatest Americans for all time to come. Armstrong's words as he stepped out on the Moon — 'Small step for man but one giant leap for mankind' became one of the most famous phrases of all time.

His death is a irreparable loss to the world with his legacy sure to inspire to many generations to come.

Sir,Steve Job's death is an irreparable loss not only to America but to the world over.President Obama has rightly said that Jobs will always be remembered as one one of the America’s greatest technological innovators.he made profound impact on the lives of people with his visionary ideas.

He was a human being an inspiring charismatic leader and believed in excellence of products.he left behind an indelible imprint on technological world.He made such an profound impact that he will be remembered for generations to come.

Prof. Sir Robert Edwards who passed away this week will always be remembered worldwide for his pioneering work on in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique, which helped couples with fertility problems to have a baby. His groundbreaking research of IVF technique gave birth to Louise Brown — the world’s first test tube baby — in 1978.For all those couples who had lost all hopes to start a family, Prof Edward’s path-breaking and painstaking research along with his colleague Patrick Steptoe, brought happiness and joy to millions of families all over the world. Today IVF treatment is used worldwide and has successfully resulted in more than five million babies.
Prof. Edwards won the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine in 2010. A year later, he was knighted for “services to human reproductive biology.” Prof. Edwards always was motivated by his belief, which he once described it, “the most important thing in life is having a child.”
Mankind will always remember this visionary scientist. His death is a great loss to all of us. We all hope that his legacy will live on with all the IVF work being carried out throughout the world and which will be further improved.

Sir - The demise of Stephen Hawking is saddening. It is a loss not just for the scientific community but also the world at large. Besides his academic work and his bestselling books, Hawking will also be remembered for his indomitable spirit.

He had a debilitating degenerative motor-neuron disease, but that did not stop Hawking from coming up with theories that changed the way people looked at the universe. He is an inspiration for generations of scientists.

Only a small section of the Indian media has recognized the contribution made by legendary Indian scientist SIN Bose regarding discovery of God particle. This discovery is considered revolutionary in human history and a victory regarding fundamental knowledge of the universe.

Today, the world is celebrating this ‘discovery at CERN at Geneva, but the contribution of Bose is not getting its due. This, even as no scientist denies his contribution towards developing modern physics. In fact, there is consensus among modern physicists that much of the work they do is derived from Bose's stellar achievement.

In a true sense, no national international award is greater than recognition by one's peers.

With the demise of India-born scientist and Nobel laureate, Har Gobind Khorana, an era has come to end in the world of science. He was born in undivided India (in the region that is now in Pakistan) and in a lower-middle class rural family. He went on to become an icon of scientific community. His contribution changed the course of biotechnology with his pioneer work in DNA chemistry, for which he won the Nobel prize in 1968 along with two other scientists. He was also MIT's Alfred P Sloan professor of biotechnology and chemistry emeritus. Even when immersed in research, he was keenly interested in mentoring young minds.

We all hope that the path-breaking work done by the legendary scientist in revolutionizing biotechnology will continue to inspire new generation of scientists.

SIR, The death of Dr Amar Bose, the pioneer of acoustics and chairman of the audio-tech company, Bose Corporation, USA, is an irreparable loss. To him we owe the high-quality audio system speakers for the home, the auditorium, and the cars that bear his name. He had a sharp intellect and was known for his humility. The world has lost a great leader in the field of technology.

Dr Bose had founded Bose Corp almost 50 years back with a set of guiding principles centred around his research and innovations at MIT. Though he was a successful and innovative businessman, his first love was research and teaching. He was on the faculty of MIT.

He was relentlessly focused on acoustic innovation. Though his audio system was expensive, he earned great reputation for the high quality audio system. In 1968, he developed the “Bose 901 direct /reflecting speaker system”, which became the best-seller in the market for more than 25 years. His other inventions included the “Bose wave radio” and the headphones used by frequent fliers. The equipment could reduce the noise level and was adopted by the US military and commercial pilots. He won several awards and was a Fulbright post-doctoral scholar.

Amar Bose’s father was a freedom-fighter who left India for the USA to escape persecution and imprisonment by the British. He leaves behind a profound stamp on technology. He has shown the world how research in technology and science can help us to listen.
