Indeed, Felicitation is an inspiration to all and motivation to the felicitated. An appreciation of achievements stimulates the receiver to aim higher and be better than the best, while it sets parameters for others to scale new heights.
Unity College religiously believes in appreciation and acknowledgement of success since its inception. Our Founder President Padma Bhushan (late) Dr. S. Kalbe Sadiq was always the first person to honour his students whether in academics or in sports. In keeping with his vision of ‘Excellence in Education’, Unity College organised a Felicitation Ceremony to confer medals and scholarships to its star performing students and recognise the teaching as well as non - teaching staff for their relentless efforts.
The occasion was all the more momentous this year, as the results leaped ahead of the previous years with average marks of 82.23% in ICSE and 79.60% in ISC.
The occasion was graced by Guest of Honour Mr. Sudhanshu Mani (Retd.) GM, Indian Railways, Dr. Riyaz Mehdi from ERA Medical College, Mr. Aftab Ahmad Khan - IPS, IG (Retd.)
