We would like to thank the Hinduja Foundation, Shri A.P. Hinduja and Ashok Leyland for their support from day one of this project. From their office in Chennai, they have been helping us out with everything from small to large necessities.

We would also like to extend deepest gratitude to Shri Chandru Kewalramani, Shri B.L. Taparia and Supreme Industries, and the Shahra Family and Ruchi Industries for coming forth immediately with boundless assistance.

We’d like to extend our special thanks to the Government of Tamil Nadu. From the Chief Minister’s office all the way to the District Collector of Cuddalore, everyone has been incredibly helpful and supportive of our efforts. Without them, this successful project would not be possible.
