In a grand ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency, New Delhi, the prestigious coffee table book “Maharashtra ka Gaurav“, published by Navabharat, was unveiled in the presence of Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways ShriNitinGadkari, senior cabinet ministers, policymakers, industrial leaders and distinguished guests from across the country.
Among the eminent personalities featured in this special edition is ShriShishir Bajaj, Chairman Emeritus of the Bajaj Group and Chairperson of the Bajaj Foundation, whose life and contributions have been chronicled in an exclusive eight-page feature highlighting his role in carrying forward the vision of Founder ShriJamnalal Bajaj—freedom fighter, philanthropist, industrial pioneer and Mahatma Gandhi’s adopted fifth son.
At the event, ShriShishir Bajaj was felicitated for his outstanding contribution to Indian industry, particularly the sugar and ethanol sectors, and for his lifelong commitment to rural development and social transformation. The recognition comes at a historic moment as the Bajaj family marks 100 years of its enduring legacy of nation building, enterprise and public service.
Founded on the principles of Nation First, self-reliance and social responsibility, the Bajaj legacy has continuously evolved with the changing needs of India. While ShriJamnalal Bajaj contributed to the freedom movement and laid the foundation of indigenous enterprise, successive generations transformed those ideals into institutions that continue to create economic and social value across the country.
