Dear Shareholders,

The Directors present the 22nd Annual Report and the Audited Accounts for the financial year ended 31st March, 2013, on a very sad note by informing the members that Sri N.V.Rattaiah, CMD of our company expired on 09.02.2013 suddenly in harness due to a massive heart attack while attending to official duties in the office leaving a huge void in the organization. Born in an illustrious family of Narasaraopet, Guntur District on 31.07.1941, he qualified as a Civil Engineer from Manipal. After completion of academics, he served in BHEL, BHPV etc. for brief period before coming out on his own to establish M/s N.V.Rattaiah & Co., and earn an impeccable name as a reputed Builder showcasing landmarks like Divyashakti Complex and Apartments. The ongoing Divya Sree Shakti Township project is another blossoming project promoted by him. Never content with resting on his laurels, he envisaged and built up M/s Divyashakti Granites Limited (EOU) brick by brick starting way back in 1991. Today it has grown into a very reputed company exporting processed granite, which name is synonymous to quality. Another note worthy contribution to the company is that he has made the company debt free. The void created by his sudden and untimely departure is well nigh impossible to be filled.
