The new year started with a good news. We are proud of our leader and hero of the Asian community in Atlanta – USA.
Undoubtedly, this is an well earned acknowledgement and Subash deserves it from all aspects of his dedicated service not only to Indian community but much beyond that. I would certainly like to congratulate Raj who equally shares this pride and successful journey of excellence.
