CII Friday condoled the passing away of Padma Bhushan Professor Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya, describing him as a visionary academic and a tall leader of manufacturing excellence.
"Prof Lord Bhattacharyya played a significant role in India-UK economic relations and helped found the Indo-British Partnership Initiative (IBPI) where CII was the Indian partner.
"This was launched during the visit of Rt Hon. John Major, then Prime Minister of the UK, in 1993 and was successful in taking bilateral trade and investment relations to new heights," CII said in a statement.
An alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, Prof Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya was globally respected for his vision and foresight. In 2002, he was conferred the Padma Bhushan by the Indian government for his services to science and technology.
