International Bunts Welfare Trust Felicitates ‘Miss Supranational’ Srinidhi Shetty
Mangaluru: The International Bunts Welfare Trust held a felicitation programme to ‘Miss Supranational’ Srinidhi Shetty, at the SDM Law College here on December 14.
The programme began with an invocation. The president of the International Bunts Welfare Trust, Sadananda Shetty welcomed the gathering. Addressing the gathering Sadananda Shetty said, “Earlier, girls were not allowed to go out, but now girls are well educated and they pursue higher studies in foreign countries. In the olden days, people winning in any competitions were not recognized but now the community, as well as organizations, felicitate achievers so that people will know of their achievements. Earlier girls were not allowed to select the groom and also the dowry system was very much in practice. Nowadays, girls will reject the boy if he demands dowry. This trend has almost eliminated the dowry system”.
Sadananda Shetty further said, “Srinidhi Shetty has made our community proud by winning the ‘Miss Supranational’ title. I also congratulate Srinidhi Shetty’s father Ramesh Shetty who has sacrificed everything for the sake of his three daughters.”
Srinidhi Shetty was felicitated by the Bunts Welfare Trust on the occasion.
Srinidhi Shetty in her felicitation speech said, “I am very much thankful to my community for this honour. I born in Tulunadu in the Bunt community. I am proud to say I am a Shetty and belong to the Bunt community. Everyone has treated me like a princess and I feel like a bride. I am very happy to receive this honour.
She further said, “I represented India in Poland with the hopes of 125 crore people. I have worked hard putting all my efforts, but without the blessings from God, my parents and without the support of all the people of my country, it was not possible for me to win the award. This crown is of all the 125 crore people of my country. This is the victory of India, and the happiest moment in my life. My father is the reason for what I am today. Today if I have achieved my dreams, all the credit goes to my father. When I was in 10th standard my mother had expired. But my father sacrificed everything for our sake and supported us. He believed in all my dreams and encouraged me. He his my pillar and strength and has supported me in my every step. My sisters are my two eyes. Whenever I have made mistakes they have corrected me and today I thank them for all their support. My relatives have supported me a lot and encouraged me when I lost hope. Even the Bunts community supported me during the time of this contest. I would like to thank everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.”
Minister Ramanath Rai speaking on the occasion said, “It is a happy moment for all of us that Srinidhi Shetty has won the ‘Miss Supranational’ title in Poland. It is a great achievement for the Bunts community. The Bunts Welfare Trust is recognizing the achievers and supporting them. Today they have felicitated Srinidhi. Beauty is a gift from God, with only beauty, we cannot achieve anything but when we put our efforts and work hard, we will be successful. We should not believe in our beauty alone, but when we work hard God will bless us. Srinidhi Shetty has worked hard and put her efforts to raise to this height. She has been successful in her efforts, let her achievements continue and bring more laurels to our community and country.”
Mayor Harinath also spoke on the occasion. Ramesh Shetty, Myna Shetty, Amarnath Shetty, Gurukiran Shetty, Mithun Rai, Rajgopal Rai, Devicharan Shetty, Patla Satish, Madhav Nayak and others were also present.
