Bhagirath Lal Das served in the Indian Administrative Service, from where he retired as a Secretary to the Government of India.

During that period he also functioned as Chairman of the GATT Council and of the GATT Contracting Parties. Later, he spent five years with UNCTAD as its Director of International Trade Programmes. In that capacity, along with his other responsibilities, he organized and coordinated UNCTAD’s technical assistance programme for developing countries to facilitate their participation in the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations which culminated in the setting up of the World Trade Organization.
