French Legion of Honour Award for Narayana Murthy
New Delhi : Naryana Murthy, after having been declared as one of the recipients of state honour Padma Vibhushan, was also conferred with the Officer of the Legion of Honour, the highest civilian distinction of the Government of France
Created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Legion of Honour is the highest civilian distinction that can be conferred in France regardless of the social status or the nationality of the recipients.
French Minister of Higher Education and Research Valerie Pecresse bestowed the honour to the "most admired business leader" of India at a glittering function in New Delhi on Saturday evening.
"Infosys, which employs over 82,000 staff, is a shining example of development in India," Pecresse was quoted as saying by news agencies.
Accepting the distinction, Narayanamurthy said he was extremely greateful to the government of France for honouring him and that he would try and work hard to be worthy of the confidence and trust that had been bestowed on him. Narayanamurthy, who pursued higher studies in France, said it was a country he loved most after India.
