Life in Retirement continues...

I have had a number of requests from commercial houses to become their director, or chairman which I refused because I have no taste for this kind of work. I could not however refuse my old

friend Shri Ram and on his request I became a Director of the Delhi Cloth and General Mills, Delhi, I was also asked to sit on the Camp College Enquiry Committee along with Dr. Krishnan and Dr. C. V. Rao, Vice Chancellor of Delhi University. We produced a unanimous report suggesting steps for winding up this institution

originally set up to meet the needs of Punjab refugees. I have been

taking interest as a trustee in the affairs of Sir Ganga Ram Trust Hospital in New Delhi, I am serving as a trustee and Chairman of Dewan Bishan Das Trust which helps widows and students of the Kangra District and Lala Barru Shah Trust which runs an

Ayurvedics Aushidhalaya in Dharmshala. Occasionally, I have given

legal advice to persons seeking my help and doing one or two

arbitrations.

I am now busy in building a D. A. V. College at Chandigarh and a Higher Secondary School for Girls on Reading Road

in Delhi and in rebuilding the Arya Samaj Mandir of Lahore at

Reading Road near Birla Mandir. My election as the President of

the Dayanand Memorial Trust, Tankara (Gujrat), the birth place

of Swami Dayanand, threw a new, though not unwelcome, responsibility on my shoulders to develop at Tankara a great seat of Vedic learning.



At the request of the Punjab Government and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs I worked as a chairman of Punjab Police Commission set up to study various aspects of police work in Punjab and make recommendations to bring it up-to-date and in conformity

With the setting of a democratic republic in the country. The commission submitted its report to the Government in May, 1962

within a year of its appointment.

Looking Back Concluded!
