On the 25th of July, 2012, while our new President
was being sworn in at Rashtrapati Bhavan, not too far away at a function at the
Krishna Menon Bhavan, opp. the Supreme Court, New Delhi; Fr. Vincent Braganza;
Principal, St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad, was awarded the Vidya Rattan Gold
Medal Award by the Indian Solidarity Council, and the Rajiv Gandhi Education
Excellence Award by the International Institute of Education & Management
for “Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Education”. The award was conferred
by G.K.V. Krishnamurthy, former Chief of the Election Commission; Mr. Joginder
Singh, former Director of the CBI; Justice O.P. Verma, former Chief Justice of
the Kerala High Court and former Governor of Punjab; Mr. Bhishma Narain Singh, a
Gandhian and former Governor of several states and Minister of Education in the
Indira Cabinet. The awards were conferred at a seminar on "Education and
Socio-economic Development" at which these luminaries presented their
views.
This comes as a much deserved acknowledgement of
the creative leadership, not just as Principal, but also through the past
25 years of service rendered at St. Xavier's College by Fr. Vincent Braganza.
