Some moments mean more because of when they happen.
Yesterday in Hyderabad, our CEO, Vikram Kharvi, received the PR Voice Literary Excellence Recognition Award at the 19th National Public Relations Education Day.
The honour was presented by Dr. Gaddam Vivek Venkataswamy, Hon’ble Minister for Labour, Employment, Training, Factories, Mines and Geology, Government of Telangana, at FTCCI, Red Hills. The evening, hosted by PRSI Hyderabad Chapter and the CVN PR Foundation, centred around a theme that defines our profession: Trust, Truth and Transparency.
But what makes this recognition even more meaningful is the date itself.
India observes 6 August as National Public Relations Education Day in honour of Dr. C. V. Narasimha Reddi, the pioneer who laid the foundation for PR education in India. Through his books, academic contributions and relentless advocacy, he transformed public relations into a discipline that could be taught, studied and strengthened for generations to come. Long before PR became a sought-after profession, he ensured it had a strong academic backbone.
Receiving a literary excellence recognition on a day dedicated to the father of PR education is a tribute that carries special significance.
Some of us were there to cheer Vikram on as he walked up to the stage. Watching him receive this honour was a proud moment; not just because of the award itself, but because it recognises his contribution to advancing conversations around our profession.
Congratulations, Vikram! Here’s to continuing to learn, write, mentor and contribute to the evolution of public relations.
We are so so proud!
