Dr. Manmohan Singh, India‘s revered economist and former Prime Minister, passed away today at AIIMS, leaving an unparalleled legacy of wisdom, integrity, and transformative economic reforms. Renowned for his humility, intellect, and quiet determination, Dr. Singh was a guiding force behind India’s economic resurgence, particularly during his tenure as Finance Minister and later as Prime Minister.
I feel deeply honored to have met this extraordinary leader during his time as Prime Minister—a memory I will always cherish. Dr. Singh’s vision and unwavering commitment to the nation will forever inspire generations to come. He will be remembered for his contributions to India’s progress and for his profound humanity.
