In his condolences on passing away of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Principal Secretary to PM Dr PK Mishra on Friday said the country has lost a very distinguished leader, an eminent economist and a great human being.
“My memories of Dr. Manmohan Singh dates back to the time when he was teaching at the Delhi School of Economics and I was in my M.A. first year. Seeing him among the stalwart professors in that era was reassuring for a student like me, having come from Sambalpur district in Odisha. Those were the days when very eminent professors such as Amartya Sen, Mrinal Datta Chaudhuri, A.M. Khusro, K.N. Raj, Sukhamoy Chakraborty, Dharma Kumar and others were teaching there,” Mishra said in a statement.
