Likewise, teachers are the those who themselves don\u2019t try to grow or compete with other but they help others to prepare for the world, for the competition that they would be facing in upcoming years, they try to deliver every possible knowledge they keep in their mind and they make students to think beyond the imaginations with their different pedagogical way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, Founder\u2019s day for ISBR is to celebrate these special occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The commencement of program was at 10.30 a.m, we started welcoming and escorting guests to the auditorium. We started the celebrations with Nadageethe, the state song of the Indian state of Karnataka which is a great way to unite and amalgamate Kannadigas and people from various cultures and ethnicities and brings the feeling of oneness.\u00a0 Then, we moved onto invocation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As when the invocation descends into the heart, if there is darkness within, it illuminates it; and if there is already light, the invocation increases the light and intensifies it. We lightened up the lamp and prayed for the prosperity and success of ISBR.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, Dr.Manasa Nagabhushanam proceeded the event by talking about the genesis of Founder\u2019s day and introducing of all the guests present there.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, we moved forward with the introduction and felicitation of awardees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cISBR GURUSRESHTA AWARDS 2019\u201d categorized into different categories which included PG teaching, area of art and culture, social service, and primary education.

It was such a happy moment when we were together under the same roof, we were listening to the journey of others and getting some important lessons out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Efforts and courage are not enough without perseverance and dedication and Mr. Manish Kothari is the epitome of this. We were privileged to have him in the celebrations of Founder\u2019s day, he shared his words which were filling the auditorium with a ray of hope and positivity to young talents.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have learned from Mr. Manish Kothari that a comfort zone is a nice place, but nothing grows there.
