Dear Dialogue Members,
With profound sorrow, I inform SRRF Dialogue members that Shri Vijay K. Sardana (Founder President of SRRF), has passed away yesterday morning (28/03/2018) after a brief period of illness.
Shri Sardana ji, 73, had devoted almost his entire life to the social development sector. He was an unassuming man but who was firm on principles of ethics & integrity in his day to day life. He worked tirelessly to improve governance practices in the social sector. He was one of the first to promote true partnership of NGOs among donor agencies. All of us are heart-broken at loss of his inspirational leadership, but vow to continue on the path guided by him.
His family has organized a prayer meeting in his memory on Saturday, 31st March 2018 at 4:00 PM. Venue: Arya Samaj Mandir, Jor Bagh, New Delhi.
May his soul rest in peace.
Ramanuj Maurya
Coordinator
