7 Ministry of Culture- He was the only one who stayed in India for 47 years, and except for the first seven years when he lived in Calcutta, for 40 years he lived in the city of Varanasi. He translated the Bhagvad Gita into Greek among many other Sanskrit texts. His major contribution was the compilation of a Sanskrit-English-Greek lexicon of about 9000 words.

Bharat Vidya Prayojana is the principle host of this conference.

8 Ministry of Defence - It was 1700 hrs and in the helicopter unit based at Jammu, nicknamed Condors, Wing Commander Vishal Jain and Squadron Leader Soumya Das were mentally wrapping up the days work in the process of packup for the weekend. Little did they know that they would soon be playing saviour angels for people involved in a gruesome bus accident. Twenty six years old Ishaq and twenty five years old Farooq along with others were travelling in a bus when the driver lost control and the bus fell in a ditch near Budhal about 30 km from Rajouri.

9 Ministry of Defence - The nearest Airforce Station at Jammu was alerted and an immediate sortie for casualty evacuation was planned. Wing Commander Vishal during the sortie planning process found that the helipad at Budhal was too small and unfit for the Russian Mi-17 1V helicopters he flies. He suggested that the casualties be brought to Rajouri by road as soon as possible and the air evacuation could be effected from Rajouri. The plan was agreed upon and the captain with his team took off for Rajouri helipad, a bigger and better equipped helipad, at close to 1740 hrs. With light fading time was of utmost importance.

10 Ministry of Defence- Upon landing at Rajouri at 1845 hrs the crew had to wait for the casualties to be brought to Rajouri by road. Some casualties expired during the journey. If I had any slim chance of landing the bird at Budhal, I would have taken it. I would have been able to save a few more people rued the captain. The helicopter with casualties and their near and dear ones took off from Rajouri helipad and landed at Jammu at 2140 hrs. Professionalism, dedication and devotion to duty and the zeal to perform beyond the call of duty by the aircrew of Condors saved lives especially of critically injured Ishaq and Farooq, who were shifted to a hospital at Jammu, where they are receiving medical care.
