Chief Justice Bhushan Gavai expresses gratitude towards his teachers

 

Mumbai, July ६: Chief Justice of India, Shri Bhushan Gavai, visited Chikitsak Samuh Shirodkar School in Girgaon today, reminiscing about his childhood memories. Having studied from primary to secondary levels at this very institution, he expressed deep gratitude to the teachers who shaped his early life.

Present on the occasion were Maharashtra’s Skill Development Minister and Mumbai City Guardian Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Bombay High Court Justice Madhav Jamadar, Chikitsak Samuh President Kishore Rangnekar, Secretary Dr. Gurunath Pandit, Principal Sanchita Gawde, and other dignitaries.

Speaking at the event, Chief Justice Gavai said, “Whatever height I have reached today, my teachers and this school have played a significant role in it. The education and values I received here gave direction to my life. My journey in public speaking began on this very stage. Through speech competitions and cultural programs, I gained confidence. It is because of those opportunities that I am what I am today.”

He further added, “I studied in a Marathi-medium school. Studying in one's mother tongue helps in better conceptual understanding, and also instills strong values that stay with you for life.” He encouraged the students with this assurance.

Justice Gavai toured the classrooms, library, and art section of the school, interacting warmly with his old classmates and reliving fond memories. The heartfelt tribute given by the students was a deeply emotional and proud moment for him. His visit was a matter of great honor and inspiration for the school.
