Across Seven Seas and Thirteen Rivers

I felt humbled and privileged when the City and Guilds of London Institute conferred upon me its highest award of Fellowship in 2014. The award was conferred by invitation.  The award was in "recognition of my outstanding professional and personal achievements, and in particular for my outstanding contribution to the field of civil engineering in India and my unswerving commitment to education and young people".  A t a glittering ceremony held at the Plaisterers' Guild Hall, One London Wall, London, on 16 April 2015, t he Chairman of the Board of City & Guilds, Sir John Armitt formally handed over the certificate of award. That was a proud moment for me. Here are some photographs of that memorable occasion that the corporate office of the City & Guilds sent me later. The award ceremony was followed by warm fellowship and a ceremonial lunch. Receiving the award certificate from the Chairman Sir John Armitt with the CEO Chris Jones reading the citation
