Dear All: Please note:
Manmathanama Ugadi was ushered in with a difference here on Saturday. The members of the Maanaviya Kalyan Trust celebrated the day by distributing sweets and fruits to the residents of a destitute home, a residential school for visually impaired and hearing impaired and beggars outside places of worship. It was a virtual treat for the packed audience at Paul Harris Auditorium at the Rotary Club with the winners of the Chigaru Chinmaya Awards, given away by the Dr. P.S. Shankar Prathishthan to budding artists. Director of the Kalaburagi Rangayana Prof. R.K. Hudgi gave the awards consisting of a cash prize of Rs. 1,111 along with a plaque, a commendation certificate and a shawl to each of the winners.

Ashish Goyal was never one to be in the doldrums, except once when he accidentally bumped into a female teacher in 2001, his final graduation year. Furious, the teacher insulted him in a crowd of students assuming he'd walked into her intentionally. That's when he started using a white cane--for him it was acceptance, for others a signal that he is visually impaired. Goyal went on to become the first visually impaired person to get admission into the Wharton Business School, Pennsylvania, and later became the first trader with this impairment at J P Morgan. This year, the World Economic Forum has listed Goyal in the 2015 list of Young Global Leaders (YGLs), along with 10 other Indians, including Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani, MP Gaurav Gogoi and Lehar Foods (Pepsi) CEO Shalini Puchalapalli.
