LBSIM – Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management

The late Lal Bahadur Shastri was one of those great Indians who have left an indelible impression on our collective life. Shastri ji’s contributions to our public life were unique in that they were made in the closest proximity to the life of the common man in India. Shastri ji’s leadership of the country as Prime Minister of India is inscribed in letters of gold.” Former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri was looked upon by Indians as one of their own, one who shared their ideals, hopes and aspirations. His accomplishments were viewed not as the achievements of a single person, but as the accomplishments of our society collectively. Under his leadership India faced and repulsed the Pakistani invasion of 1965. It is not only a matter of pride for the Indian Army but also for every citizen of the country. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri's slogan ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’ reverberates even today through the length and breadth of the country. Underlying this, is the inner-most sentiments 'Jai Hindustan'. The war of 1965 was fought and won for India’s self-respect and national prestige. For guiding the Defence Forces with admirable leadership, the nation remains indebted to Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. He will be remembered for all times to come for his large heartedness and public service.
