Laurels that have made Gujarat proud over the years!

A child is the biggest reason for a mother’s happiness. How happy and proud a mother feels when her child excels in life and the world acknowledges it. How it brings tears to her eyes when her child runs back home after winning an award and places it at her feet. And how inspired the child gets when a mother offers her blessing to excel even more. These awards are our tribute to Maa Gurjari, our inspirer. We place them at her feet seeking her blessings and inspiration for many more. Source :- Official website of Shri Narendra Modi
