Text of the Speech Given by Sonia Gandhi, President of the Congress Party - The Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament & Development

I am delighted to welcome Mr. Bill Gates to receive the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development...your example that has given meaning to the idea that successful businessmen can look beyond the bottom line, and even beyond conventional ideas of social responsibility, to actually conduct philanthropy on the principles of modern management...Yours is an example that we in India ought to emulate...we are yet to produce a truly visionary contemporary philanthropist.
