A Very Good function of felicitation of the winners of Panchayath elections in the shirva Deanery. The Catholic sabha founders of 1979-80 must be happy because the credo they envisaged at that time has become justified. it was the message that the lamp must be kept on Lamp stand and pearls must be lifted up from the bottom of the ocean and shwon to pepople to enjoy and adorn in their ornaments, the talents must be used to the good of the society. To day that is being done in this kind of felicitaiton functions. It is equally true of the chinese proverb- "Teach the people how to fish and they will have fish every day". The elected lleaders, please do not feel elated. But getting inspiration work for he objectiives for which you had contested the elections and won. Let the fruits of victory be shared and enjoyed by all. Good luck. |
