The lal Bahadur Shastri National Memorial Trust, in collaboration with the National Museum, organised the 22nd lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial lecture at the National Museum in New Delhi recently.
Founder of Infosys limited NR Narayana Murthy delivered the lecture on Fulfilling the dreams of Shastriji. He was welcomed by Anil Shastri, chairman, lal Bahadur Shastri Institute Of Management.
“Shastriji’s dream will be fulfilled only when every child is ensured education, healthcare, nutrition and shelter; when every citizen enjoys equality of opportunities; when the aspiring middle class feels that it can hold its head high globally in terms of performance, recognition, respect and power,” Murthy said.
The Trust was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the memory of Shastri after his death, with then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi becoming its first chairperson.
More than 200 academicians, political leaders, religious personalities and students attended the lecture.
