Anusha Alles, Chairperson of the Oration Committee, added that they invite a distinguished past pupil to deliver the oration.
When asked about the choice of title for a serious Founder’s Day Oration, Lilamani said: “Well I work in advertising. So I believe in packaging something to make it attractive. And I truly believe there will be serious intent and valuable content in this year’s oration. Also there will be a mixed audience of people, of different ages, persuasions, professions. So I have to engage them all! And I hope sincerely I will be able to do that.”
The organizers say they will be happy to see all past pupils, well-wishers of the school and friends at this event, at the Bishop’s College Auditorium on January 23 at 6 p.m. Those attending are requested to be in their seats at 5.45.
