15th January, 2014: "Microsoft Founder Bill gates has been named as the most admired person on the planet. The 'World's most admired people poll' was conducted by YouGov for The Times by surveying almost 14,000 people in Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the US, Australia, Pakistan, Indonesia, India, China, Egypt, Nigeria and Brazil." was the Headline news in PTI (Press Trust of India) on 13th January. THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GIVEN THEIR COVETED PRIZE TO BILL GATES PLACING HIM AT THE TOP. His contributions to the world is such, and the world has immensely benefited by his contributions.
This is what I wrote to my friends in 24th July, 2007, so that a huge support base is created to suggest Bill Gates' name for Nobel Peace prize! His name has added weight now with his huge involvement in philanthraphic activities, making great impact on the world population. And now, I am able to appeal to a larger set of people through this blog! Let us all appeal for nominating Bill Gates for the Nobel Peace Prize the coming year. Bill Gates is a household name in India as much as Mahathma Gandhi, Sachin Tendulkar or Amitabh Bacchan, and this sheerly due to the beneficial impact he has made in their lives and in Indian Economy. He has promoted real peace in the nations and among nations, and if he had zealously promoted Microsoft, it is as much to make contribution in every one's life as for filling the coffers of Microsoft, as his user friendly wholesome softwares will easily vouch. The Google search on "Bill Gates for Nobel Peace Prize" has 18 million entries; Bill Gates a Harvard drop out was honoured with a degree by Harvard University on June 7, 2007, and his great speech on that occasion is worth reading/listening to, which you can get in Google search

"Purport of this mail is, as given in the subject, Mr.Bill Gates deserves the Nobel Prize.
Last year, it struck to me that he deserves a nobel prize for peace, as he has united the world as nobody has done before through communication, business and merchandise, and his Foundation has made great inroads in improving the health and welfare of so many people of so many countries in the world. But, somehow he has not been considered!
In Sciences, I do not know anything as to how his contributions stand against ( or together ) with other's contributions, for him to be considered for a Nobel, and may be some others have got the Nobel for their contributions in chip making and for inventing the internet. It simply means, I am not qualified whatsoever to offer any suggestions on this, and in no way it comes in the way of his deservedness on this score.
But, speaking on Economics, I have seen with my own eyes, how his contributions have changed India ( and the world ) for so much better! In the villages of Tamilnadu, so many women have started earning Rs.3000/- plus, the children get dressed better, and get better food, because of the welfare created by the advent of computer to the central stage. People are forgetting the word unemployment, and not only IT and ITES, even Construction, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Health, Education and so many other fields are developing alongwith! Speaking about the benefits of computer is like speaking about that of water now, and the Windows has remained as the backbone of computer so far! Mr.Bill gates is held in great esteem and very dear to heart by so many Indians ( only Kennedy and Clinton made this sort of impact before, and Mr.Bill Gates has clearly overtaken them), and they will all be too happy he gets a prize. I am sure such situations prevail world over!
Mr.Mohammed Yunus got the Nobel in Economics for his contribution in Micro financing! Mr.Bill Gates' contribution had as much influence, if not more, in changing the economic conditions of the people world over for better. His contribution can be put in the catagory of economic tools, and I am sure the tools are as important as theories in the development
Thus, Mr.Bill gates deserves a Nobel in Economics, or, he deserves one for Peace, wherein while some have got one for stopping the war, his contribution has promoted peace, and beneficial interaction among people of different parts of the world, and has united the world like nothing else! If some argue that the Internet, and advances in computer hardware and software etc are as much factors as Windows in this contribution, well, the whole set of people can be awarded the Nobel, as they do in Physics, or, Chemistry, and their services recognized and acknowledged. Or else, Mr.Bill Gates may be awarded a special Nobel for his contribution encompassing the entire spectrum of so many fields.
I am sure you will see the merit in this suggestion, and carry it forward to fruition! If it materializes, we the world would have saluted and honoured the great man in the manner he desrves.
