Mangaluru
Mangaluru marked Labour Day with a special felicitation programme recognising six individuals for their achievements across various fields, highlighting the value of dedication, service, and contribution to society.
The event was organised as part of International Labour Day celebrations to honour both workers and professionals who have contributed significantly to social and economic development. Speakers at the programme said that Labour Day serves not only as a tribute to the working class but also as a reminder of excellence and commitment in all sectors.
During the ceremony, dignitaries praised the awardees for their work in areas such as social service, education, healthcare, and public welfare. They noted that recognising such individuals encourages a culture of hard work and inspires others to contribute meaningfully to society.
Organisers emphasised that labour, in all its forms—physical, intellectual, and social—plays a crucial role in nation-building and community progress. They said that acknowledging achievers helps strengthen values such as responsibility, discipline, and service-mindedness.
The six awardees were felicitated in the presence of community leaders, representatives from various organisations, and members of the public. They were presented with certificates and mementos as a token of appreciation for their contributions and long-standing service.
Speakers concluded the event by stressing the importance of respecting all forms of labour and ensuring dignity for workers across professions. They reaffirmed that such recognition aligns with the broader spirit of Labour Day, which celebrates both work and the people behind it.
