Kalgidhar Society Establishes 'Dr. Manmohan Singh Chair in Development Economics' at Akal University

With the sudden passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of India, the nation has lost a remarkable son. Renowned for his unwavering integrity, humility, and profound understanding of public policy, Dr. Singh steered the country out of economic turmoil and set it on a path of high growth and development through his liberalization policies.

In recognition of Dr. Singh's immense contributions to academia and his service to society and the nation, The Kalgidhar Society - Baru Sahib has decided to establish the 'Dr. Manmohan Singh Chair in Development Economics' at Akal University, Talwandi Sabo (Punjab). This chair will undertake advanced research on his visionary ideas, fostering a deeper understanding of economic development and inspiring future generations to follow in his footsteps.
