Lauding the efforts of Pingara, a Kannada fortnightly, which has been identifying the achievers and felicitating them with Rajyotsava award, Bishop said, “The welfare of the society will be possible only if we respond to the grievances of the people. If there is an effort to identify those people who strive hard for the upliftment of the poor, it not only inspires them but also others to do good”, he said and wished success for the future endeavors of Pingara.

After receiving the award Roshan D’Souza said, “Everyone is responsible for the success of the `Humanity Trust.` Though I had planned to commit suicide once, later I realised the value of life. This award has opened my eyes and it has inspired me to do more and more good works in my future”, he said.

Mangaluru South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath exhorted that the achievement of Roshan should be a role model for all. MLC Ivan D’Souza, while addressing the gathering said, “Helping the poor is a noble work and everyone should follow the footsteps of Roshan.”

Kemaru pontiff Esha Vittaladasa Swamiji, Former MLA J R Lobo,  former state president of Kannada Sahitya Parishat Harikrishna Punaroor, SDPI state president Ilyas Thumbe, programme executive of All India Radio Sadananda Perla, Laksman Kunder among others were present.
