RAJYOTSAVA AWARD IN BAHRAIN TO RICHARD MORAS
Richard Moras receiving the prestigious award
The year, 2002, has not only been a joyous
one for Bahrain Kannada Sangha (BKS) because of Silver Jubilee
Celebrations, but has also been a proud moment for this institution
because it has been conferred the prestigious "Rajyotsava Award" by the
Government of Karnataka. To commemorate this joyous event BKS has
felicitated three sons of the soil, working and residing in Bahrain, with
"Rajyotsava Award" for their selfless service to noble causes.
One of the three is Mr. Richard Moras, who believes in the adage, "give
maximum and expect the minimum". Mr. Moras is not only known in the
kingdom of Bahrain but also back home in his native place for his
achievements and good deeds. Mr. Moras has always been impartial in
expressing his opinions, logical in thinking and speaks his mind without
fear or favour. Mr. Moras' letters appearing in the regional press shows
his patriotism for his motherland and does not shudder to express his
views.
Being the son of an educationist, who headed an educational institution
for over 35 years, Mr. Moras has displayed his versatile talents and
organizational abilities by getting involved in school committees, parish
councils and later as Vice-President of Yuva Janata Party, a wing of a
main political party in India. In addition, he has also been associated in
various other activities.
In Bahrain, he has been instrumental in forming a voluntary forum known as
"Konkani Kutamb", which when translated means "Konkani Family", to promote
culture and to encourage young talented writers and artists of Konkani
language. Moreover, he has crusaded in generous drives for needy and
social causes.
This felicitation would spur Mr. Moras to put further efforts and work
tirelessly for needy and deserving causes and for the good of the
community in particular and mankind in general.
While offering hearty congratulations, we wish Mr. Moras continued success
and pray that he scales further heights and his voluntary services are
recognized with further awards and accolades.
