New Delhi. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, has donated Rs 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai. Mukesh Ambani completed his graduation from this institute in the 1970s. At that time it was known as the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT). Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani attended a special ceremony organized for the release of ‘Divine Scientist’ of Professor MM Sharma in ICT and attended the program for more than three hours.
Shared memories related to Professor Sharma
Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, while sharing his memories, said that Professor Sharma’s first lecture in UDCT proved to be inspiring in his life. Professor Sharma not only inspired him, but he also became a peaceful craftsman of India’s economic reforms. Ambani said that Professor Sharma explained to the policy makers that India would have to get rid of license-work-raj for economic progress. Only then the Indian industry will be able to compete globally, dependence on imports will decrease and mass production will be possible.
Reliance Chairman said, “Like my father Dhirubhai Ambani, Professor Sharma also had a strong desire to take the Indian industry out of shortage and lead to global leadership.” He further said, “Both these visionary leaders believed that private entrepreneurship with science and technology can together open new doors of prosperity in the country.”
Professor Sharma told ‘Rashtra Guru’
Mukesh Ambani recalled Professor Sharma’s contribution in the development of the Indian chemical industry in his speech. He said that he sees Professor Sharma as ‘Rashtra Guru – Guru of India’.
