Its good to note that Shri Shri 1008 Arun Hastimal Ji Firodia got Padmshree award despite sitting on my Provident Fund & Full & Final clearance files for 8 years since 2004 when I left Kinetic Engineering Ltd.
Despite several reminders from CPFC Delhi & RPFC Pune and Bandra Mumbai, his flagship company Kinetic Engineering Ltd is not clearing my dues.
If some one from firodia family, reads my comments made here, has any shame left in them, they should immediately make arrangements to release my Provident Fund.
Its a matter of great honor and privilege for we teachers to know that Prof.Sachidannand Sahay Retd Prof & HOD of AIAS Magadh University Bodh gaya and our former teacher has been conferred with prestigious Padamshree. Sir you rightly desreved it. We pray God for your further success.
Our deepest Regards.
