Congratulations, Poonam. It's a great achievement. Keep it up and continue the good work. It is your smart work; hence, don't be more focused on one part. I opine that you should share how you planned your work, achieved success, and how you overcame the hardships you faced. This will make management happy to listen and serve as a roadmap for other colleagues to follow.
Thanks,

It depends on the nature of your work and the specific achievement for which you have been awarded. If the nature of work is individualistic, then the approach suggested by Kamesh333 in the above post will be appropriate. If it is teamwork, then you should mention those in the team whose contributions helped achieve success and thank them adequately on this occasion. You must also express humility by stating that there are equally, if not more, talented individuals around and thank the selectors, including your boss, for recommending your name in the face of tough competition.

Congratulations on Your Accomplishment
When we get recognized or succeed, we often forget those who have helped us get this far. People who have appreciated us and even those who have been harsh to point out our mistakes or failures deserve recognition. This requires only a moment after every incident, as it helps you cultivate a "habit of gratitude," a trait that's fast eroding these days. People think they are qualified to succeed, equipped to succeed, and will succeed, but that's not the truth. When we're caught up in our day-to-day routine, we easily overlook the people and things we appreciate. A daily reminder can give us a much-needed happiness boost while also putting us in the gratitude mindset.
Steps to Cultivate Gratitude
Make a list of at least three things you've come to appreciate in the company. If you deal with employees, find ways to personalize your appreciation.
I wonder if you have heard of Sachin Tendulkar's speech made on the day he retired after the last test match he played for India, at the Wankhede Stadium, November 16, 2013. Please follow the link to read the text - India Cricket News: Sachin Tendulkar leaves with stirring speech | ESPN Cricinfo.
It was one of the most soul-stirring speeches, to say the least, and perhaps the best I've ever heard in my lifetime. I had the good fortune of seeing it live, and therefore the impact was more profound. However, it could still leave a mark after seeing it for the first time by anyone. I really feel that you or anyone who wishes to take a learning for the future should see this. You'll get a lifetime lesson on how to pay tribute for what you've received.
Aim to Be a Good Human Being
Go on to win more such laurels for yourself, but just remember one little truth: "Let no success or achievement get into your head! Have your feet firmly on the ground always and maintain utmost humility at all times."
Best wishes for an awesome career.
