New Delhi: An Indian Professor, who is currently working in Bhutan, recently received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award conferred by India's President Droupadi Murmu.

Interestingly, it is the highest honour conferred to overseas Indians.

Sanjeev Mehta is currently teaching Economics at Bhutan's Royal Thimphu College.

As per Bhutan Broadcasting Service website, Mehta said he is looking forward to contributing again with much more dedication and greater determination to actually see Bhutan achieve its new journey of policy and situational reforms.

“I will be nut and bolt in this piece and I will work to my best capacity to fulfill His Majesty’s dream. This award, I see, is not a personal achievement. This is an award that represents the work done by Indian teachers in Bhutan. Maybe I am an embodiment of that,” Sanjeev Mehta said.
