The Gujarat state development was not at all possible just by the action of government but also by the people contribution. It is because of the all the citizens, the state has seen the rise of 69.14% to 79.13% literacy rate from the year 2001 to 2011. And if we look at the literacty % at the time of inception it was 30.5%, which is also quite high. Seeing the percentage and Number of Universities during that decade, the growth in education was quite impressive. So this is the right time to think for the people in the past because of whom we are here.
We would like to Acknowledge the educated people of 1960 era because it is believed that Education is the base and the educated citizen are the pillars of this rapidly developing society. Also we believe this is the right time for celebrations and achievements of past i.e. the glorious journey that Gujarat has been through over the years. Therefore we IIFTIANS would pay tribute to the elite people of that post independence era by small felicitation programme.
We look forward for your help in getting us the data for this felicitation people. Kindly let us know about the people who have done their graduation before 1960. Contact us on 0261-2233335 and 0261-3080910. Come and join in this movement. Your contribution counts and people need to be recognized.
