Honors & Awards

  • Business Leader Award 2019

    Niagara University, Niagara, New York

    Great honor to be bestowed "Business Leader of the Year 2019" award along with other four honorees (in different categories) at the Awards Dinner event organized by the Niagara University, New York that is more than 167 years old one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the United States.

    Great honor to be bestowed "Business Leader of the Year 2019" award along with other four honorees (in different categories) at the Awards Dinner event organized by the Niagara University, New York that is more than 167 years old one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the United States. Niagara University, New York is based on Vincentonian values with a mission to impart education with deep emphasis on leading a purposeful life after leaving university. Niagara University was founded in 1856 and is one of the top three such universities in the United States.

    While all over the world, we have great deal of criticism of Faith based education; on the contrary Christian missionaries like Niagara University run educational institutions to prepare men and women to lead society to "serve". It made me ponder that in the name of Secularism are we trying to deprive young minds Faith based Values. Should "Secularism mean absence of religion in places of learning or presence of multitude of faiths but none privileged over the other"?

    The honour and recognition I received by the Niagara University, New York will be etched in my memory forever and I am deeply grateful for that to Dean Mark Frascatore, Chair Vincent Agnello and Asst. Prof. Patrick O'Meara.
