A spokesman of the NRI Institute said that it honoured Paul, chairman of the Caparo group of industries, on Monday in London at an event held to celebrate its 30 years.

Receiving the plaque, Paul, 87, said "Mahatma Gandhi Honour - to be associated with Mahatma Gandhi's name makes me very proud being Indian and British. I am pleased to make Indians realise what service NRI has done for India".
