In Memoriam | Ambassador Latha Reddy
It is with profound sadness that the Deccan Heritage Foundation marks the passing of Ambassador Latha Reddy, Chairperson of the Deccan Heritage Foundation India.
Ambassador Reddy devoted more than three decades to public service through the Indian Foreign Service, serving as Ambassador of India to Portugal and Thailand, Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs, and later as Deputy National Security Advisor to the Government of India. Throughout her distinguished career, she represented India with exceptional wisdom, integrity and dedication, and continued to make significant contributions to international dialogue and public policy long after her retirement.
As Chairperson of the DHF India, Ambassador Reddy was a steadfast supporter of our mission to preserve, restore and promote the architectural heritage of the Deccan. Her guidance, generosity of spirit and unwavering belief in the importance of safeguarding India’s shared cultural heritage have been invaluable to our work.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. She will be remembered with great respect, gratitude and affection.
