I have known Dr Rajiv R Thakur for more than a decade now, both in his role as Professor and Director in different institutions and I have no hesitation in saying that whatever role he worked, he has brought about a positive and significant difference and have left behind a distinctive mark of success. I find in him every quality of a successful practicing leader. I congratulate him for his efforts which will directly benefit a large section of society. I further wish him all success in life.
