Eminent philanthropist Shri Upendrra Rai visited Asht Shaheed Inter College in Mohammadabad today, marking a significant moment for the institution. On this occasion, he donated ₹50 lakh for the construction of a majestic southern entrance gate, dedicated to his late mother, Smt. Radhika Devi. Mr. Rai himself laid the foundation stone for the project, symbolizing his deep emotional and personal connection to the college.

In a heartfelt address, Rai expressed his reverence for the institution where he once studied. Overcome with emotion, he said, “Today, words fail me. Though I have been blessed by Maa Saraswati to speak endlessly on any subject, today, silence feels more profound. When ego attaches itself to deeds, their essence diminishes. As Saint Maluk Das said- ‘Mala japo na kar japo, jibya kahun na Ram, Sumiran mera Hari kare, main paya bisraam.’”
