A Tribute to CRB’s Founder – Dr Bimal Arora
From the Governing Body Members
We the CRB Governing Body Members were shocked to learn about the sudden and unexpected demise of our dear colleague, the Founding CEO and then Chairperson of CRB, Dr. Bimal Arora on 2nd March 2022 in the UK. Those who knew Bimal and his work, knew him as a passionate and tireless champion of Sustainability and Social Development. Bimal as the CEO of CRB till 2015 brought the organisation to a stable and self-sustaining foundation very quickly, before transitioning to become the Chairperson of the Board of CRB. One of his contributions - CRB’s flagship event - Indian Standards and Sustainability – Conference and Dialogues has now become an event of national and international eminence. For CRB, this annual affair has helped draw the attention and support of government, private sector, academia, research institutions and civil society, both locally and internationally. Building on his vision, CRB’s frontiers on sustainability has been expanded energetically by our CEO, Rijit Sengupta. As a colleague to us Board Members, we were, and continue to be challenged and infused with Bimal’s views of developing CRB as a leading southern voice on Sustainability and developing CRB into a formidable think tank on the topic globally. This direction envisaged by Bimal and endorsed by the CRB Board, will continue to guide CRB, expanding CRB’s wide ranging activities and impacts on Sustainability. Replacing Bimal’s untiring spirit and commitment to Sustainability will be a challenge. However, the Board is fully committed to help evolve CRB into an entity following his aspirations. We will miss Bimal, as surely will CRB’s leadership and staff. Needless to say, how he will be missed by his colleagues at the University, friends, partners and the massive network of sustainability practitioners in India and worldwide that Bimal worked to bring together.
