The day carried special significance as college students from KC College witnessed the event firsthand, drawing inspiration from the real-life heroes being honoured.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka said, “Every awardee here has lived a story that proves heroism is not about recognition but it is about responsibility. Some have stood guard at the nation’s borders, some have saved lives on streets and seas, while others have preserved our culture, our environment, and our sense of justice. Each of them have had their own stories, but what really shines through is their honesty and selflessness towards what they are committed to. Their journeys remind us that inspiration does not belong only to books or cinema screens, it is around us, in real people who put service before self. Through Ample Missiion, it is our privilege to celebrate these beautiful individuals whose stories shall be cherished, applauded, remembered, and passed on to generations to come.” (Inspirational Indian achievers recognised Ample Mission)
