Thanks Marco for making the workshop fantastic!

As long as I can remember, I always get the ever familar question when I introduce myself as an economist: “so you want to be Dr. Manmohan Singh?” I can only conjecture that many thousands if not more Indian students will get this wonderful question. Thank you!

As a political leader, you were the statesman India wishes it could have. The decency you brought to the game, the intellect you associated with the political offices you held, I am just grateful I was old enough to appreciate what you did! Thank you Mr Prime Minister.

You were the rarest of global citizens to have had such an enormous impact on lives of billions of people. Thank you, sir! Thank you, sardarji.
