BRICKS AND BOUQETS
 
It was pleasure for me to attend the 26th International Congresses of NRIs and I was further delighted to see the faces of NRIs those who assembled from all over the world. Very frankly this was the first occasion for me to come across such a high profile gathering of NRIs.

You are doing wonderful jobs, keep it up

It gives me immense pleasure to participate in the 26th International Congress of NRIs. The speaker those who shared their views, really speaks their concern for the motherland.

I would like you to know that the days I spent in Delhi and Jaipur were very pleasant. The Hospitality International was most generous and hospitable to all of its guest. The 26th International Congress of NRIs was organized very well. Please do accept my genuine appreciation.

It is Infact a great honour for me and my family to attend and to receive that "Hind Rattan Award" in the glittering function organized at the 26th International Congress of NRIs in New Delhi. All the way from 24th January till 28th January2007, we have enjoyed the function both in Delhi and Jaipur. Hats off to you, for your will and hard work in bringing together the NRI's from world wide under one roof. Great job.

About the-Hospitality International-Superb-whenever we needed any assistance, they were there to help us. Yes some may not be happy for the negligible reasons and it is quite normal. No one can keep everyone fully satisfied.

Let us think and share our opinion in order to build the NRI Welfare Society to more stronger and effective platform for all the worldwide NRIs.

Dr. Renu Khator
U.S.A.
We have to thank for a great time we had in Delhi and Jaipur, It was fun to meet all the new people and was certainly an experience.

Once again thanks for all your efforts and the good work that you are doing. Keep it up and wishing you all the best always.

It was a wonderful well organized function. We enjoyed our 5-days stay in India very much. Thanks for the good arrangement.
Ramesh Shanbhag

It was a real honour to be recognised in New Delhi under the auspicious of the NRI Welfare Society of India. The respect and admiriation the various dignitaries present at the Congress had for you was very evident, but this was truly deserved. You have right fully earned it. To get together such large group of prominent NRIs and most of all to keep them happy was, I am sure no easy task I Enjoyed every single moment of the entire programme. I was also all the time engulfed watching how you and your team were running around looking into all the details so that we were comfortable. In Conclusion, Please convey my appreciation and fondest regards to your family and the entire team who I believe made this event a resounding success end a very pleasurable and momentous Occasion to remember.

At last we are back home-looking at the photos we start remembering all of you and the nice time and hospitality we enjoyed in Delhi as well as Jaipur. Special greetings we send to your respected mother-she must be very proud of her sons being so much alike the never forgetting Mr. Harbhajan Singh.
I hope we stay in contact with each other and if ever you come to this side you are most welcome. Please pass on our greetings and thanks to Mr. Sood. He was never fixed to answer our questions and help us to feel comfortable.
I feel, if a special Award was to be given, it should be given to the Singh Brothers and Mr. Sood.

It was really a very nice and wonderful experience of my life on being in a company of a nice person like you. I am immensely thankful to you for your kind hospitality and for all the cares taken by you and your team for me and my family during our visit to the Conference.

Congratulations for the success of 26th International Congress of NRIs. I wish you more success in your future endeavour.
Gurunath Rao

I would like to congratulate you for your leadership in successfully organizing the 26th International Congress of NRIs. It must be an exhausting job.

I would like to thank the selection committee for selecting me for Hind Rattan Award. I enjoyed the festivities. All the staff members were very helpful. They also needed to be congratulated.

During our trip to Jaipur I observed most of the winners very closely. To be very blunt, I feel that some of the winners did not demonstrate the maturity that people expect from such persons. In my presence, one winner wanted to beat up the driver of a bus since he did not follow his order to go to the hotel with his family.

Being a university professor, I must be one of the poorest (in terms of money) winners of this award. Money should not be a major selection criterion. I know it very well that host countries in the middle east in particular do not treat NRIs very well, however, they pay them well. These NRIs, when they return to India for a visit, they also mistreat others.

The Congress was a big success in all respects. However I believe that there is a room for improvements in all efforts.

To attract younger people, you could initiate something for the rising ones.
Prof. Achintya haldar

It was a memorable trip to New Delhi and Jaipur, attending the NRI Conference, we thank you and the Society for the excellent arrangements made during the Congress. We once again like to reiterate our gratitude to the Society, and its office bearers.
