Padma Bhushan certificate
In 2005, our Chairman, Dr. Y.K. Hamied, was honoured with the prestigious Padma Bhushan - India's third highest civilian honour. This certificate bears the distinguished seal and signature of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, who presented this award to Dr. Y.K. Hamied. Interestingly, the date indicated on this certificate is meticulously recorded in accordance with both the Shaka and Gregorian calendars - a practice that is seen in all official communications issued by the Government of India.
