Prem Daryanani, a resident of Walkeshwar, insisted that we stress on the message, which is gratitude to the Indian armed forces, rather than the quantum of the gift. Daryanani has, through the family's Radha Kaliandas Daryanani Charitable Trust, a non-profit started in 1980, gifted the army six acres of land, which now houses 12 buildings, comprising the Army Law College (ALC). The college was inaugurated yesterday.

The market value of the six-odd-acre plot (40,000 square feet is equal to an acre) at Baba Seva Dham village Kanhe is Rs 40 crore, and the buildings have been completed. The 'gift' is the largest donation to the Indian Army by any entity. Kanhe is approximately 45 km from Pune.
