Dr Aditya Arya IPS, Former DGP Goa
Former Special Commisssioner of Police, President House, New Delhi
It is with a sense of admiration and love for this colossus in the field of education, that I write this appreciation of a person of distinction, viz., Dr Jagannath Patnaik. He is not only a doyen in the field of education, where he has excelled by becoming one of the great administrators and project planners of many institutions, but also he has been a humane, humble, benevolent son of Mother India. He is a gifted and noble educationist par excellence and endeared himself for over 25 years to his work accomplishments by dint of his dedication and sincerity. In conclusion, it is my earnest hope and prayer that this benevolent, humane, humble and gifted son of Mother India, continues to serve our motherland, for many more years as an educationist par excellence.
