Mumbai: Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, was honoured with the 28th South Indian Education Society (SIES) Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Eminence Award in Mumbai on Saturday evening.

Speaking to the audience at the Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Auditorium, Sion, Sarma said that Sanatana Dharma is an eternal, ever-renewing civilisational philosophy that has shaped the soul of Bharat for thousands of years. "It is not merely a religion; it is a way of life, an ethical compass, a spiritual inquiry, and a timeless quest for truth. It is eternal not only because it is ancient, but because its essence continues to remain relevant, open to reform, renewal and reinterpretation," said Sarma who  received the award from SIES president V Shankar.
