The Association of Business Communicators of India (ABCI), Mumbai has conferred the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honour in India for a business communicator, on Dr.G.P.C.Nayar, Chairman, SCMS Group.

ABCI has honoured Dr. Nayar in recognition of his outstanding contribution, in promoting mass communication education in India at a time when this knowledge area had practically no recognition in the country, raising the stature of public relations to the level of a honorable profession of respect, elevating business communication as a key factor in management and above all for struggling to build up brotherhood among public relations professionals through seminars, workshops and national public relations conferences.

The tribute was also in recognition of Dr.Nayar’s signal service in the field of professional education in India, by pioneering the cause of promoting excellence in professional education, establishing a group of world-class self-financing institutions of higher learning in technology, management, engineering, biotechnology etc. His notable contribution in successfully leading a crusade, as the President of the managements of self-financing professional educational institutions in Kerala, against the move from the state government and the ruling political parties to crush the growth of self-financing educational institutions was also hailed by ABCI.

ABCI had earlier honored Dr. Nayar by conferring the prestigious award of ‘Fellow of the Brain Trust of ABCI,’ last year.
