| Members of the India Council comprising
leaders in government, industry, and academia from both overseas and
India meet annually. The diversity of expertise of members will enable

Director, Earth Institute and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General
of the UN (United Nations) and Dr R K Pachauri,
