In the royal meeting hall of Bella Vista in Hyderabad, one familiar personality, who strode the dais with his prominent presence and erudition for over two decades (1993-2015) was Dr M Narasimham, the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Though short statured his baritone voice and crisp but insightful observations at many important policy meetings, training courses for MPs, IAS, brainstorming sessions etc., as Principal and later as Chairman of the Board of the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), surely have left a deep imprint.
