Message from Dr. Manmohan Singh
 

April 27, 2004

I have learnt with great pleasure about the valuable work being done by the Sikh Human Development Foundation in Washington. We are living in a world where human knowledge, particularly scientific and technological knowledge, has become a major source of power and wealth of nations. It is, therefore, of utmost importance that our children are empowered through education to operate on the frontiers of human knowledge. Your foundation dedicated as it is to poverty alleviation, lays particular emphasis on the grant of scholarships to needy students for higher education. Your effort to assist students in Gujarat after the earthquake in 2001 is also praise worthy.

I, therefore, write to send you my best wishes for the future growth of your foundation. I sincerely hope that you and your colleagues will be able to raise sufficient resources to facilitate implementation of your noble mission which is based on the Sikh principle of Seva and thereby render service to humanity without expecting any reward in return.

With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,

Manmohan Singh
