New Delhi (01/09/2019) :Â Â Padma Shri Dr Pritam Singh calls him “leader of leaders”, his colleagues take joy in learning from his impeccable journey and his students are everyday inspired to do better than ever by listening to his pearls of wisdom- We are talking of none other than Dr H Chaturvedi, Director BIMTECH.

Learning together and working together has been one of the foremost admirable quality of Dr Chaturvedi”, said Dr Pritam. 
Speaking further, former IIM Director elaborated on the ‘giving’ nature of BIMTECH Director and said, “Sometimes I see him as a Chanakya, in a positive sense. How to take people along and make them work is a great ability of him which is worth learning. He even turns one of the most difficult situation into his favour. He is a great fighter.”

I am grateful to Global Alumni Association of BIMTECH , EPSI and Alumni Association of Agra University (AAAU) for facilitating a beautiful and memorable evening today”, Dr Chaturvedi said. 
“My feelings today can only be voiced in Brij Bhasha or the language of ‘Brij’ which is also my birthplace- Deh siva bar mohe eh-hey subh karman te kabhu na taro. Na daro arr seo jab jaye laro nischey kar apni jit karo. Arr Sikh ho apne he mann ko, eh laalach hou gun tau ucharo. Jab aav ki audh nidan bane att he rann me tabh joojh maro”, Dr Chaturvedi said.
