Award for Distinguished Service
Prof B.K. Anand and Prof. Nandkumar H Keswani
were honored at the Ypsilanti meeting. The plaque inscriptions and excerpts from
letters received from our distinguished professor are shared below.
In appreciation and recognition of outstanding service as Professor
of Anatomy & History of Medicine, Dean and Director of All India Institute
of medical Sciences, New Delhi, India and for invaluable contribution as Faculty
Advisor and inspirer for the Student Body while at the institute from August 9,
1956 through November 1, 1977.
I would like to convey my thanks and deep sense of gratitude to you all the
AIIMSONIANS OF AMERICA for the love and regard you all had for me for whatever
little contributions I have made in all my life, to the academic excellence of
the AIIMS and to the welfare of the staff and students.
I was surprised, then delighted and elated by your recognition of my services
to the AIIMS at your Eleventh Annual Convention of the AOA at Ypsilanti, MI on
August 14, 1993. I have, along with my wife, loved you all like we have loved
our own children; and in return, you have bestowed, in plenty, your love,
affection and respect on both of us. We are proud of you and your spouses and
children, above all your achievements in foreign environs. Nothing delights a
devoted teacher more than seeing and feeling that the students have outshined
the teacher in many a field-academic or extracurricular.
May you all prosper more and more in your health, wisdom and wealth"!
- Nand Keswani
