The man and his vision:Recognition

Mr. Nobel, in his communication,

congratulated Mr. Bagla, as follows:

“ Dear Mr. Bagla:

Thank you very much for your e-mail of

September 7, 2007. You are most kind

to share your thoughts and concerns

about the lack of Peace on Earth.

Your keen observations resonate very

well with me and being much in

synchronicity with my own, I must say,

they reflect great passion for wisdom

and truth, two qualities that are sorely

amiss in the world of today.

To have such brave expressions of

compassion come from the heart and

lips of a major business leader of India

is highly encouraging. I salute you for

your initiative for peace and I look

forward to learn more about it and to

find out exactly how we hopefully can

collaborate in a meaningful way.

I wish you impact and swift progress

for your noble mission for Peace on

Earth.

In Service to Earth & Humanity,

-Claes Nobel”

It is not often that humble efforts with unbounded sincerity and dynamic approach come in a singular concept. And to be the progenitor of such efforts is too momentous to be put in words.

Mr. Bagla, with his intense flair for the global causes, presents such an aura of dynamism and creativity that cannot be judged easily. His envisages an age of true well being and world peace where the realization of mankind's fullest potential is the driving force.

Through his association with the variety of groups that seek to work towards the common causes of global peace and prosperity, he has taken up highly commendable projects of huge implications and through his selfless work, has inspired many souls.

The list of such initiatives and the details of the work done by him in the respective spheres is too significant to be expressed. However, the broad aspects of the untiring services rendered by him deserve a special mention.

Here, it must be mentioned that for creation of an ideal society, the focus has to be on the individual. Without the change in the individual's consciousness, the collective consciousness of the wider scale of humanity cannot expand. Mr. Bagla has always sought to expand the influence of positive and constructive work in a variety of fields and his efforts have been appreciated on a global note. The unique impressions of his work and his ethics have inspired many and his leadership is widely acknowledged.

Mr. Claes Nobel, the scion of the illustrious Nobel family of Sweden and the worldwide defender of many notable causes in his visit to India 2008 had referred to Mr. Bagla as “Peace Ambassador” and had spoken at length about the latter's innovative and noteworthy ideas. Mr. Nobel visited India from 5th to 9th February, 2008 and was accompanied by Dr. Alridge A. Valliant and his wife Dr. Suad Kanderian Vaillant.

On 5th of February, in the company of his gracious guests, he launched two publications that deal with the threats of exposure to unhindered radiation and protection and safeguarding human rights, by the respective names - “Radiation Today” and Maanvita”.

Pioneering work done forgeneral empowerment with a global outlook.

The concerns that have and still are leading to the instability in the

societies across the world are vehement by their very nature. The

problems are numerous and cover almost all aspects of human activities

in the world. Corresponding to the issues at hand, the corrective steps,

too, have to be taken on the international scale. Recognizing this, He has

emphasized the coming together of like-minded individuals and groups

for a unified endeavor of growth.

Through Global Wellness - a foundation of repute that has been

spreading the message of quality living through natural and sustainable

means of longevity and healing, Mr. Bagla has extended the perspective

which forms the core basis of the ideal of a healthy and natural life.

Focusing on the ancient evolutionary approaches that are centered in the

ideas of nature-oriented existence, the objectives of Global Wellness

have their roots in the timeless philosophy of holistic and untainted

evolution of mankind.

Needless to say that a healthy and holistic individual lifestyle has the far-

fetched positive result in the long run for the society. Going further in this

direction, he has laid stress on the totality of international brotherhood

and the various means of achieving it in reality and in present times, the

significance of these guiding principles can be very well appreciated.

He has studied the broader impacts of terrorism and the reasons for it. He

has continuously made efforts to seek a better resolution for this menace.

Mr. Bagla believes in rehabilitation, not retaliation and in this sense, he

stands out from the rest. His suggestions and representations form a

concrete solution in every right.

In our part of the world, poverty alleviation is a prime administrative need

and hapless millions toil hard to make the ends meet. In such an

environment, the social schemes launched by the administrative bodies

do not suffice and there is a need for change.

Moreover, Mr. Bagla is actively involved in creating awareness about

human rights and safeguarding the underlying human values. Here,

the essential policy followed by he is the unified point of view, which is

based on universal brotherhood of mankind.

In the present human society, one problem directly or indirectly creates

another one and for attaining the ideal of a stable and just society, the

target-area has to be all-inclusive. This is exactly what Mr. Bagla does

when he seeks to address the maladies that ail our human race today.

Humanity is in dire need of such efforts today and he has advocated the

rights of not just human beings but animals as well. He is a firm believer in

non –violence, not just in theory but in practice. He is a vocal supporter of

animal rights groups like PETA and has highlighted the need for

upliftment of amenities in all the national and international fauna reserves.

In his benevolent sense, Mr. Bagla has, time and again worked for

safeguarding the right to life of all the species. He opines that stringent

anti-poaching laws should be made and enforced, especially in the

regions which host the endangered species.

According to recent studies done by experts across the leading cities in

the world, the fast developing economies of Indo-China are poised to

become the leading economies of in the near future. However, alongside

this good aspect, there is another emerging picture which shows these

countries as the emerging hotbeds of pollution and industrial waste.

For this impending problem, Mr. Bagla is campaigning for adoption of

clean and green technologies in industrial production and harnessing of

renewable sources for energy needs. This is an issue which the whole

world recognizes as a major concern right now and Mr. Bagla's

suggestions can be effectively implemented for betterment in the long

run.

The allied spheres where Mr. Bagla has and is rendering his valuable

services are the important issues of rainwater harvesting, tree plantation,

creation and preservation of “Green-zones” in cities and urban areas, and

soil conservation.

As part of these efforts, Mr. Bagla is directly responsible for the anti-

radiation laws vis-à-vis the mobile phone towers. It was Mr. Bagla's

pioneering work that led to the increased awareness about the harmful

effects of mobile handset radiation. At a time when almost nobody was

aware of the harmful effects of such radiation, Mr. Bagla had conducted

extensive case studies and then filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in

the court of law. The court upheld his views and the chain of events that

was set off resulted in the stringent guidelines for Telecom companies

regarding the housing locations of towers and regulatory radiation-norms

for the service providers were set up and safeguarded.

In his humble spirit, Mr. Bagla claimed no credit and was content in the

fact that the hapless masses were spared the latent horrors of explicit

exposure to the dangerous radiation.

Has done intensive study on terrorism to know why a person become a terrorist and how can the society bring him back in mainstream in his report 'Terrorism-Reasons and Solutions'.

Prisoners have very limited access to the outside world, and are under the complete control of the prison authority. In India, majority of these voiceless people remain in prison pending trial or conviction. Mr. Bagla always raised the voice for these voiceless people and you can feel his pain in his report on 'The Under Trial Prisoners in Overcrowded Indian Jails'.

A fearless society, founded on truthfulness & nonviolence.

'Good schools', is his top priority, because we can

change the society with good education. He is working

with the Corporate and PSUs under CSR policy to provide

best teachers and school infrastructure with drinking

water and toilet facilities .

Since the beginning of civilization, war and violence have

been inescapably woven with the long continuing journey

of human race which has been the continuous yearning

for peace and security. With 'Peace in Pieces' movement,

Mr. Bagla is trying to bring peace all over the world.
