Dear Sahuji : Greetings :
I shall take this opportunity to place on record all Kudos for the way the International Conference on Vision zero at IIT Bombay was held  : And if I say, your organising acumen made it possible, wouldn’t be exaggeration
Dr Mahendra Raju, National Coordinator SSA of India

When constructive vision is driven by passion, impossibility goes into oblivion. This aptly described the work of the Indo-German Focal Point (IGFP) before its Advisory Board here on June 7, 2019 with an idea of safety and health of families which form foundation of any nation’s progress.

Attended by among others, economist, thinker and politician Panchanan Kanungo, senior BJD leader and MLA Amar Satapathy, social activist Ranjan Mohanty, and Ashok Sahu spoke highly about the precision and clarity about the road-map on which the organization is working today.

The architect of this edifice, Sh B K Sahu, in his passionate best narrated the sequence of events which have hitherto come up in collaboration with German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) in ensuring safety to construction workers, workers in industry, and also occupational safety and health, said the nascent organization of just two years has already travelled to various parts of the country covering 19 states. Now it has a national programme almost every month scheduled to be held at various places in the country, Sh Sahu added.

Appreciating the idea, Sh Satapathy said the target audience requirement has to be carefully studied as their health is being taken care of. Satapathy assured all possible assistance from the government in effective implementation of the project proposals.

 This was supported by Sh Kanungo saying practical approach and education along with strict implementation of laws as regards safety must involve all workers, management and also the government.

Sh Sahu being a man of experience in the field with his civil service background assured that the forthcoming programmes would take into consideration how to plug the loopholes  in administrative framework  and the ground level to achieve what is envisioned by the organization.

Dear Mr. Sahu,
thank you so much for your friendly words and for the good wishes!
It was a pleasure to work with you. Without your strong engagement and your activities it would not have been posible to establish such a strong IGFP in India. Thank you for bringing in all your power for making working places in India safer and healthier.
I wish you and all your colleagues working for safety, health and wellbeing in India all the best and good success for all your activities in the Future. Maybe we´ll meet again somewhere because I am still a member of the big „BG-Family“.
