Chairman of BPS, Gope Shahani, addressed the virtual gathering of BPS fraternity on the occasion of 72nd Republic Day celebrations. “Today, as we walk out of the pandemic, I look back upon the labour we put in and I realise that it’s no less than what our ancestors did while creating the Constitution of our nation. We have learnt from them and faced the challenges to bring in new light and vision. We have a long way to go but I am sure we will do it. We will discover new standards and set the bar high like the glorious leaders of India,” said Shahani.
