Doha: Birla Public School (BPS) has congratulated Mr Shiju P. R., Head of its Malayalam Department, who was felicitated by the Indian Cultural Centre (ICC) during its Kerala Piravi celebrations at Ideal Indian School on Sunday, 1 November 2026. Mr Shiju was among distinguished Malayalam teachers from Indian schools across Qatar honoured for their dedicated service and contributions to Malayalam language education, recognising the role educators play in nurturing the language and preserving its literary and cultural heritage among the younger generation.
The awards were jointly presented by HE Dr K.
Srikar Reddy, Ambassador of India to the State of Qatar, and Shri G. Venugopal,
renowned singer and Chairman of the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi. The
proceedings were led by ICC President A. P. Manikantan, Vice President Shantanu
Deshpande and General Secretary Abraham K. Joseph, along with other dignitaries.
The celebration, commemorating the formation
of the State of Kerala, highlighted the importance of Malayalam language
education in helping students in Qatar remain connected to their roots. For
children growing up away from their homeland, learning Malayalam provides a
meaningful connection to Kerala's literature, songs, stories and cultural
traditions.
The recognition marks a proud moment for Birla Public School and its Malayalam Department, reaffirming the institution's commitment to promoting linguistic diversity and preserving cultural heritage through education. The management, Principal, staff and students extended their congratulations to Mr Shiju on the honour and commended his dedication to Malayalam language education.
