Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Industrialist Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share a note of gratitude after receiving the Padma Bhushan award from President Ram Nath Kovind. Mahindra was felicitated with India’s third-highest civilian honour in the field of Trade and Industry on Monday. However, the chairman of the Mahindra group expressed that he “truly felt undeserving” as compared to the other recipients.
Mahindra retweeted a post shared by the official Twitter account of the President of India that was about Tulasi Gowda, an environmentalist from Karnataka and a Padma Shri winner, responsible for planting over 30,000 saplings in the area.
“This Government has made a long-overdue, transformational shift in the texture of the Padma Awards recipients.
Now, the focus is largely on individuals making seminal contributions to the improvement of society at grassroots levels. I truly felt undeserving to be amongst their ranks,” Mahindra captioned the post.
