The growing age is not symbolic
of how many years one has lived but how well
one has lived. Gandhi Labour Foundation is
no different. At five (at twenty-five, if
its promoter IMME’s years are counted), it
looks into the rear view mirror not to revel
in euphemism but to tell itself how far it
has reached and how many more steps it has
to climb. Individuals die, an Institute does
not unless it is bereft of persons who had
shared common goals and dreams and worked
together realizing the same. But an
Institution also can not exist without the
support from the ‘outside world’, meaning
persons not directly related to the day to
day functions activities of the Institution,
but of course conforming to the objectives
set by it.
The list of persons and organizations in
GLF history can not be exhausted in a couple
of pages. Individuals may remain unnamed but
this is not indicative of the fact that
their contribution has paled into
insignificance. We always remember them with
gratitude and respect.
Today writing the history of GLF, we felt
abreasting the world of GLF’s work and
commitment would not be justified without
the mention of all those organizations –
national and international, who gave their
encouragement and support at every step. We
feel, merely naming such organizations here,
is too little in proportion to the kind of
generous assistance, affection and goodwill
they have shown from time to time and often
in times of need. In particular, GLF is
deeply grateful to the following
organizations without whom, there could have
been very little achievement, from GLF’s
conception to reality.
