Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 26: Maharashtra Governor C. P. Radhakrishnan lauded the Bombay YMCA’s 150-year-long legacy of secular service to society, emphasizing that despite its Christian origins, the organization has remained inclusive and committed to the welfare of all. Speaking at the Sesquicentennial celebration today at Mumbai’s Jamshed Bhabha Theatre, NCPA, Mumbai the Governor praised the YMCA’s enduring contribution to youth development, sports, and community empowerment.
The Bombay YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association), despite having ‘Christian’ in its name, has upheld a secular mission for the past 150 years, said Maharashtra Governor C. P. Radhakrishnan during the organization’s landmark celebration. He commended the YMCA’s consistent social work and called its contribution to youth and sports development “inspirational.”
The Governor also recalled how, during the 1990s, many Indian entrepreneurs stayed in YMCA hostels during their visits to London. In a solemn moment, he paid tribute to the victims of a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and remembered Pope Francis with reverence.
