Patel said, “In 2005, Narendrabhai, for all his school teachers, had organized a programme in Ahmedabad called the Guru Vandana. He had invited around 27 teachers. He walked up to every teacher and addressed them by their names, bowed down in front of them, garlanded them, and honored all the teachers.”
According to Somnath Patel, then Gujarat Governor, Pt. Nawal Kishore Sharma, who was the chief guest, had said that it was an extraordinary program which never happened anywhere in India before. “The Governor said that Narendrabhai has organized this program to honoured his teachers. Such a program is unseen and unheard of in the entire country,” Shri Somnath Patel added.
It is part of an endeavor to collect stories that narrate or recount people’s anecdotes/opinions/analyses on Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi & his impact on the lives of people.
