Lt. Col. Shashi Anand is a versatile multi-talented Gentleman who after retirement from Army strived to continue service of the nation and thus established 'Thoughts Foundation' a social service organisation specialising in Personality Development training. He has been running the Institute for eight years now. Under Thought Foundation he has published books in English, Marathi, Gujarati and Braille on Personality Development. These books are prescribed by Savitribai Phule Pune University in their curriculum. He has conducted many Workshops, Seminars, Conferences on Personality Development in service of the nation and for the youth. Col. Shashi Anand's personality is a rare combination of sensibility, organizational skills and enormous energy. I wish him success in his continued future endeavours in his chosen field.

Thoughts Foundation has been adding significant value through various initiatives to enhance livelihoods, access to education and capacity building in the society. I was humbled to be part of some of their initiatives under the inspiring leadership of Lt. Shashi Anand. Let us stand with them to make a difference for those who do not have the opportunities.

Yes the world indeed needs to take inspiration from your interviews, books, talks and achievements ... you have so much to give to the world...… We are blessed to have you.

"Association of Thoughts Foundation and NFBM Jagriti School for Blind Girls go back a few years. Retd. Lt. Col. Shashi Anand has been a guiding light in lives of our visually-challenged students. Lt. Col. Anand has always emphasized on physical fitness and had organized a marathon for our students. Thanks to the support and encouragement from Thoughts Foundation, we were able to start self-defense training (PROJECT RAKSHA JYOTI) at Jagriti School for Blind Girls. Lt. Col.
