Anjani Mashelkar Inspiration Award

A young widowed mother suffering through extreme poverty coupled with the lack of education meant unsurmountable odds for late Smt. Anjani tai Mashelkar. Undeterred by these odds, she brought up Raghunath Mashelkar with determination and perseverance. She continued to raise his aspirations for higher education and achievement, while giving him values of morality, ethics and concern for the poor at the same time. She was truly an inspiration!

The Anjani Mashelkar Inspiration Award will be given annually in this spirit to the inspiring life and work of an elderly and unsung Indian hero.

The award will comprise a cash prize of ₹1 lakh and a citation. Celebrating such role models will inspire others to be more and do more!

The award will be given under the aegis of International Longevity Centre – India (ILC-I) and will be given away during their annual awards function.
