Viksit Kerala key to achieving Viksit Bharat: Governor
Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar said on Monday that 'Viksit Kerala' is key to achieving 'Viksit Bharat.'
The Governor was speaking after presenting the Business Excellence Awards 2025 instituted by the Trivandrum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI). 'Viksit Bharat' is not merely an economic concept, but a social and emotional one as well.
Noting that success comes after years of struggle, the Governor said success stories of the award winners should become household narratives in the State. K. Muraleedharan, founder and chief executive officer of the Thiruvananthapuram-based Muralya Dairy Products, received the Chamber Iconic Brand Award.
The Chamber Excellence Awards were presented to leading business persons on the occasion.
TCCI president S.N. Raghuchandran Nair presided. Sashi Tharoor, MP; Speaker A.N. Shamseer; Transport Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar; TCCI secretary Abraham Thomas; and awards committee chairman Suresh Mathew were also present.
