Tribhuvan School in Patna paid tribute to its founding inspiration, Tribhuvan Prasad Singh, by unveiling a newly developed hybrid rose named 'Tribhuvan' during the founder's day celebrations on the campus. The event took place on Friday and featured floral tributes, cultural performances, plantation of rose saplings, and a special message recalling Singh's contributions to public life and education.
Development of the Hybrid Rose
The hybrid rose was developed in 2025 by rosarians Kasturi and Sriram. It has also been appreciated by KSG G Gopalswami Ayyanger and Sons, Bengaluru, a prominent name in rose breeding in India. The rose stands as a symbol of the enduring legacy of Tribhuvan Prasad Singh.
Who Was Tribhuvan Prasad Singh?
An eminent Indian Civil Services (ICS) officer and India's first finance secretary, Tribhuvan Prasad Singh was known for his contributions to governance, public administration, and nation-building. Born in Purnia, Bihar, on May 9, 1913, he studied economics at Patna University before pursuing further studies at the London School of Economics. He cleared the highly competitive ICS examination in 1936.
Apart from his administrative career, Singh had a deep interest in horticulture, particularly rose cultivation, which he considered a symbol of discipline, patience, and balance. He passed away in 1975.
Family Legacy in Public Service
Singh's family also held prominent positions in public life. His son Nand Kishore Singh served as Union revenue secretary and chairman of the 15th Finance Commission, while another son, Udai Singh, represented Purnia in Parliament. His daughters Krishna Singh and Radha Singh became IAS officers.
School Principal's Remarks
School principal Mahua Das Gupta said, 'The rose stands not only as a floral tribute, but as a living metaphor for a legacy that continues to blossom across generations.' She emphasized that the school aims to provide students with opportunities to participate in debates, oratory events, cultural festivals, sports meets, leadership programmes, robotics activities, and environmental campaigns.
