“It was a humbling moment in the midst of all the pomp and pageantry of the investiture ceremony. The President was presiding with the PM, the finance minister, the home minister and many other dignitaries in attendance. The awardees themselves were great examples from all walks of life in India but glowing with their accomplishments, mostly selfless efforts dedicated to better the society around them. Inspiring and, as I said earlier, very humbling. A memorable experience indeed.” – As shared with Prof. Abhiman Das
