Padma Shree Prof M Anandakrishnan is an educator par excellence. The former IIT Kanpur Chairman, former Anna University Vice-Chancellor, former IT Advisor to Tamil Nadu Government is an institutional builder as well. So, it was our proud privilege to have got a chance to organize along with his family from the USA his 90th Birthday Celebrations last week.
What started as a simple idea from Ananthan Chockalingam, turned out to be an unforgettable evening of wisdom on 16.06.2018 at Hyatt Regency Chennai – thanks to the hard work of Ananthan Chockalingam, Nedunchezhian Dhamotharan and Chellappan Palaniappan, who were joined by the other committee members including Kavitha S, A Elangovan, Mani Manivannan, Uma Anandakrishnan and myself.
