In Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, “felicitated 91 teachers of government and private schools,” Udayavani reported. “Each awarded teacher received a cheque of Rs 25,000, besides a citation, medal and shawl.”
The Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries mark the verb felicitate “(especially Indian English).” Their example sentence: “The winners were felicitated by the Chief Minister himself.”
