Arora assures fulsome support to New High School Alumni

Ludhiana News: MP (Rajya Sabha) from Ludhiana Sanjeev Arora attended as the chief guest of 2nd Grand Reunion Function of New High School held under the banner of the New High School Alumni Association here on Sunday. City’s noted personalities from different fields including the industry largely participated in the event as the school alumni.

Speaking on the occasion, Arora said he feels honoured attending today’s function. He said this reunion is a wonderful opportunity for alumni to reconnect, share memories, and celebrate the achievements of the school community. He added he is delighted to learn that founders of big corporate houses such as Airtel and Avon Cycles are among alumni of the school. As such, most of the alumni themselves are renowned personalities and celebrities themselves, he added.

Adding, Arora said the school has a long and rich history because this educational institution was set up in the 1930s when there were a few educational institutions in the country. He said there was a time when it was always a race for seeking admission in this prestigious school by the students, adding that recently, some wrong things have come out about which deputy commissioner is holding an inquiry after setting up a committee. He said the first report of this fact-finding committee has already come out, adding that he hoped that everything will be normal in the near future. He assured that a suitable action will be taken against those found guilty in the probe. New High School will gain its prestige soon by fixing wrong doings.

Further, Arora was astonished as to why the event was being held outside the school premises. He assured that he would make all out efforts for ensuring that the next alumni meet is held within the school premises. He assured his fulsome support to the New High School Alumni Association.

Arora said earlier Ludhiana was known as an industrial hub. However, Ludhiana has become an educational hub over the years as many prestigious educational institutions including medical, agricultural, dental and others have come up over the years. Now, ESIC is going to set up a medical college next year, which will prove another milestone for the city and city residents.

Adding, Arora asked the industrialists and others to keep him updated about their feedback so that he may keep on resolving their grievances and issues with best possible efforts. He said he always wanted to see Ludhiana and even other parts of the state on the path of growth, adding that proper feedback plays a key role in making proper policies at the government level both at the state and the Centre.

New High School Alumni Association president Rajesh Garg thanked Arora for joining the event as the chief guest. He said the alumni presence with Arora has greatly enriched the occasion, adding that the alumni feel honored after meeting and listening to Arora. He said the alumni are enriched with insights and experiences shared by Arora. The alumni association’s vice president Manoj Gupta also spoke on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, JR Singhal, Managing Director, Eastman Group highly appreciated Arora for raising the voice of Punjab Industry in the parliament. He said the questions being raised by Arora in the parliament sessions are always seen well researched, adding that generally this thing is seen missing among the politicians. He said the state’s industrialists, especially Ludhiana industrialists are grateful to Arora for highlighting their voice both in and outside the parliament.
Those who attended the event included Onkar Singh Pahwa (Avon Cycles), Avtar Singh Bhogal, SS Bhogal, Amarvir Singh and Bipin Gupta.
