Birmingham City University
Awards Congregation: 10
February 2010
Report by Arvinder Jain
I had a great pleasure in attending
this Birmingham City University Awards Congregation with Sonal Modi
organized at Symphony Hall. I was invited with many important, famous
and affluent people of the country. I still don’t know why and how I was
invited to this ceremony. I am very glad that I was there not for myself
only but to represent entire Jain community. Where ever I go I see
myself as an ambassador of Jains and advice that you all feel the same
way. This is the best way to spread the Jain message by being a great
role model to our children and society at large. I honestly and truly
believe that we have lots of talent in our community worldwide and needs
channeling in the right direction. On this occasion Mr. Kuldip Singh
Wouhra, owner of East End Food plc, UK was given the Honorary Award of
Doctor of the University. There are many people in our community who
could also gain such high profile and thus raise the profile of Jain
Faith. Just to mention some of the guest presents in addition to
Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor were
Sir
Adrian Cadbury, The Lord Knights CBE, Sir Graham Meldrum CBE, Dr.
Elspeth Insch OBE Head teacher of King Edward’s Girl School, Birmingham,
Mr. Paul Sabapathy CBE, Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of the County of
West midlands, Lord Mayor of Birmingham –Councilors Michael Wilkes and
Lady Mayoress Mrs. V.Wilkes, Ms. Elly Tobin, Principal of Joseph
Chamberlain Sixth Form College.
