Ramu Damodaran posted this anecdote about Dr. Manmohan Singh in a St. Stephen���s College Alumni Whatsapp Group. With Ramu’s permission I am posting it here
“My first meeting with Dr MMS was in July ‘91, the day I joined Prime Minister Narasimha Rao’s office. The devaluations of the rupee had taken place a few days earlier.
He came to the PM’s Race Course Road office and walked straight into his room from the car. On the way out he detoured to come to my room. He had a small envelope in his hand which he gave me saying “please make sure this is credited to PM’s Relief Fund.”
I opened the envelope after he left to find a cheque for a huge amount I cannot now precisely remember . With it a note saying “Representing the difference in rupee value of my assets abroad consequent upon devaluation.””
There are huge lessons in this story for all founders, start ups, investors, managers, business leaders and others around integrity, probity, good governance, resolving conflict of interest, not profiting from inside information etc. etc.
Thank you Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Thank you Ramu_Damodaran for this story.

Met with a delegation of the relatives of Indian prisoners incarcerated abroad, who had come to me through the good offices of Kozhikode MP @mkraghavaninc. They submitted a petition seeking the implementation of the Exchange of Prisoners Agreement that India has concluded with 31 countries and urged that its provisions be invoked to bring their relatives home. I undertook to forward this petition to the authorities for appropriate necessary action.

An attempt to explain in Hindi what is right to development, challenges in realising this right, problems with the current model of development & an alternative model of "planet-centred participatory development".
