Later, he was chosen by Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, to be his first private secretary. He guided the affairs in the Planning Commission for 17 years, rising to become its member. He was a great economist, too, and of international fame. He was the only civil servant to have been decorated with all three Padma awards. N° de réf. du vendeur 2405080093
