R. Ambedkar University, Agra).

The awardees were chosen through a multi-tiered process. Nominations were invited from the members of the association. These nominations were then sent to a jury constituted for this purpose. The jury met several times and finalized the names of the winners

Some prominent members of the Jury who chose awardees in the area of education, medicine, civil services, literature and industry were Shri Pankaj Pachauri, Communication Advisor to the Prime Minister of India; Dr Hari Gautam, Former Chairman, UGC & Ex-VC, BHU; Shri Shashi Shekhar, Editor-in-Chief, Hindustan (Hindi); Padma Shri Dr Ashok Chakardhar, Vice Chairman, Kendriya Hindi Sansthan, New Delhi; and Shri A K Balyan, MD & CEO, Petronet LNG Ltd, New Delhi.

Commenting on the win, Prof. Kamal K. Jain said, “An award always gives you a feeling of joy and a sense of responsibility. A recognition from the alumnus of one’s own alma mater is a matter of great pride but in fact it is a recognition of the contribution made by the institution in shaping the career of its alumnus. In all humility I would like to say: 

है तेरी रहमत ऐ मेरे मालिक,
सोचा ना था जो, वह पाया हमने,
झुकाते हैं सर उस इबादत घर पे,
नसीब जिसके दर से जगाया हमने

(Thanks to your blessing oh lord,
I have received that which I never even contemplated,
I bow my head  in front of your holy house,
from whose steps my destiny took shape)
