Bhopal | The Executive Committee of Bhopal Nair Samaj held a farewell for its former President Dr NUK Menon at Mannam Bhawan, Sri Mannam Khajurikalan Road, Piplani at 9.30 am on 26 March.

During the function, the President, Bhopal Nair Samaj AG Vallabhan recalled his services to BNS and to the social arena of Bhopal. He said that Menon sir made his remarkable contribution in the field of education as a teacher, Principal and Administrator.

Former President of BNS G. Pradeep recalled his association with Dr NUK Menon since his schools days in Campion School. He said that it is a loss to the Malayalee community of Bhopal that Dr NUK Menon is shifting from Bhopal to Bangalore.
