As President of India, he performed with clear understanding and with dignity.”

Today the country has lost one of its finest sons Bharat Ratna Shri Pranab Mukherjee. On one of the occasions when Pranab Da was the Chief Guest for the Teachers Day ceremony in Vigyan Bhawan, I gave him a slate as a gift and he liked it very much.
