The maple tree is evocative of Canada, for which Dr. Rajan has much love and gratefulness, and its roots reaffirm his work with the ecology movement and as an advisor on grassroots community development. The Purana Pul is a bridge built in the 16th century in his hometown of Hyderabad, India, and represents Dr. Rajan’s work in building bridges between communities, religions, cultures and nationalities.
