A moment to remember: Sai receiving the award

Nine-year-old Shanker Sai, Std. IV , Kendriya Vidyalaya, M.E.G. Centre, bagged a prize for writing the best essay in a contest organised by the Office of the Joint Director of Tuberculosis, Government of Karnataka and Indian Development Foundation.

Sai was honoured by Brigadier R. M. Mittal on May Day, which coincided with the Annual Day of Kendriya Vidyalaya. It was a happy coincidence that the day was also the birthday of young Sai. Receiving the honour Sai said that he would like to associate more and more with social causes, especially those related to public health. Brig. Mittal, the Chairman of the Vidyalya Management Committee, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, congratulated the teachers for kindling students’ interest in an important social cause. S.
