Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who died on Thursday, was an economist who held several key government posts including India's highest political office. But first, he was a teacher at the Delhi School of Economics (DSE) from 1969-1971 and was named as an honorary professor by the institution in 1996.

At Delhi School of Economics, Singh's legacy lives on

His legacy at the institution lives on, as former colleagues, professors and students remember him fondly.

Om Prakash, 84, was at DSE when Singh was a faculty member there. "I had the proud privilege of being a colleague of Prof Manmohan Singh in the early 1970s. I found him to be an extremely helpful and kind man, always willing to help his younger colleagues in whatever way he could. He always made you feel completely at ease in his company and would clear your doubts in an absolutely clear manner. He was never short of time while helping his colleagues and students," he said.
