NEW DELHI, INDIA: Microsoft founder Bill Gates is in India to receive the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development.

He will receive the award on behalf of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has been providing grants for public health activities, notably in the areas of HIV/AIDS prevention and communication.

During his visit, Gates is likely to meet Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday. He is also likely to hold a telephonic conversation with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
