Faculty Members and Students,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am very happy to be here amidst the friendly people of this beautiful State. My warm greetings to all of you. I am particularly pleased being in Himachal, the State located in the lap of the Himalayas, and known as the land of the Snowy and Green Mountains, and more so being in the Capital city of Shimla, which is admired widely as the Queen of the Hills.
It gives me great pleasure to participate in this function organised on the occasion of the World Environment Day. I would like to congratulate Sant Gadge Baba Amrawati University of Maharashtra whose award is being received by its Vice Chancellor - Dr.
I am happy to inaugurate the Conference on "Responsibility to the Future: Business, Peace, Sustainability", which I understand would be looking at issues that could impact the future of mankind. I congratulate the foresight of the organizers for convening this meeting.
