Commenting on the occasion, Ms. Amudhavalli Ranganathan, Executive Director of CK Educational Institutions, said “At CK, we have always believed that the true measure of an institution is not just in academic results, but in the wellbeing of the people who make those results possible. Our faculty and staffs are at the heart of everything we do. When they feel supported, valued, and inspired, they bring passion into classrooms, innovation into research, and mentorship into student lives. This recognition is a celebration of that collective spirit — a reminder that when our people flourish, our students thrive, and together we build a stronger future for education.”

At the same time, the institution nurtures personal growth and quality of life by creating an environment where employees feel cared for inside and outside the workplace, empowering them to thrive holistically as professionals, individuals, and contributors to society.
