Lord Paul to the rescue, yet again!

In the 1990s, he saved the London Zoo from closing down by giving the zoo a donation of 1 million pounds. Now NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul has donated $500,000 to the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to develop an infant lab suite. Like the London Zoo donation, this one too is in the memory of his daughter Ambika (who tragically died of leukaemia, but she used to love the London Zoo, and Paul couldn’t bear to see the place, his daughter loved so much, close down). The Carnegie Mellon donation was made through the Ambika Paul Foundation. The infant lab suite will design interventions that will help children suffering from developmental disabilities like autism and specific language impairment. The research for this project will primarily focus on understanding how infants achieve cognitive and linguistic milestones. Another show of strength from Lord Swraj Paul – who, in 1996, became a life peer (a member of the House of Lords), and has taken on the title Baron Paul of Marylebone in the City of Westminster.
