Consul General Kong Xianhua said, this year we held a grand commemoration at the 80th death anniversary of Dr. Kotnis. On the commemoration, we started up the “Dr. Kotnis Friendship School” public welfare program with some Chinese Company to help the Solapur education development. Besides, we would like to offer Chinese government scholarship to Solapur students studying in Chinese universities with the aim to making a contribution to the long-term development of Solapur and the cultural exchanges between China and India.

Ms. Sheetal Ugale Las, Solapur Municipal Commissioner, extended a warm welcome to Consul General Kong Xianhua and thanked Chinese Consulate General for the great care and support. She said, the Indian and Chinese culture have a high degree of similarity and the education is the core of people-to -people exchange. Thus, it’s important for us to promote cooperation in the field of education. We would like to rename the S.M.C. Camp No.1 High School as Dr. Kotnis Friendship High School and participate in the school construction together. We will nominate the candidates of the scholarship as soon. In the future, we hope to cooperate in the field of public health with Chinese Consulate General.

After the meeting, Consul General Kong Xianhua went to the S.M.C. Camp No.1 High School and watched the course teaching on the spot. He had a cordial conversation with teachers and students and presented Beijing Winter Olympics commemorative stationary to the school.
