The following demonstrates Nitin Partosham's role in this and his association with Shishukunj charity, with a logo 'Baal Devo Bhava'; 'Honour Baal as God'.

* At Brent, Nitin Parshotam advises on the repairs and building of schools across the borough:

 http://www2.brent.gov.uk/cmin.nsf/files/LBBA-178/$file/ForPlan10myj.pdf Nitin Parshotam advised Members of the Select Committee that priority projects had been identified for the first year of the Capital Budget Programme and that Members would consider the balance of remaining capital spend over the next 3-4 years. At this point the Chair requested clarification as to how the £8.3m 2004/05 budget would be allocated to particular projects. Mr Parshotam confirmed that an asset management scheme and a replacement programme for huts and temporary buildings would provide the majority of planned works for the 2004/05 period. ….Members noted that £6m would be spent on asset management schemes during the first year, whilst a further £1.7m would be allocated for the hut replacement programme……Mr Parshotam advised the Select Committee that there was a backlog in repairs and maintenance issues for a number of schools across the Borough but that the AMP Statutory Plan categorised the nature and level of repairs and building conditions in schools across the Borough and provided the Council with an objective criteria. A ranking system enabled the Council to prioritise the repairs that were necessary in schools across the Borough and draft a list of priority repairs.

Rameshbhai informed Devchandbhai of a vacancy at Netherlands Bank and he was duly emplyed.

Translation:  http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/englishtranslation-of-sanskrit-verses.html

Pronounciation:
maatru devo bhava
pitru devo bhava
Translation: Honour thy mother as God. Honour thy father as God.

Hence, ‘Baal Devo Bhava’: ‘Honour Baal as God’
