IT WAS NOVEMBER 1963. K.B.SAHAY HAD JUST TAKEN OVER AS THE CHIEF MINISTER OF BIHAR. HE WAS WITNESS TO THE FOUNDATION STONE LAYING CEREMONY OF THE HEAVY ENGINEERING CORPORATION AT RANCHI JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK. HIS EFFORTS PAID OFF WHEN PANDIT NEHRU CAME DOWN TO RANCHI TO INAUGURATE THE HEC- THE MOST VIBRANT TEMPLE OF MODERN INDIA IN NOVEMBER 1963. IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE PROJECT WHICH ANNOUNCED TO THE WORLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALISATION HAD STARTED MOVING. THERE WAS NO LOOKING BACK FOR THE INDEPENDENT NATION- INDIA, THAT IS BHARAT.
