Recognition

The man and his vision:

Mr. Nobel, in his communication,

congratulated Mr. Bagla, as follows:

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.

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

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 for

general 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 farfetched 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 antiradiation laws vis--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.

A fearless society, founded on truthfulness & nonviolence.

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'.

Three things can not be hidden,

Sun, Moon & Truth
The mind is everything.
What you think you become.

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.
