He received the award from Professor Roop Kishore Shastri, Vice Chancellor of Gurukul Kangri Deemed University, Haridwar at a function in Rath area of Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh.
The award – Rs 10,000 in cash, a bronze medal, a bronze statue of Swami Brahmananda and a certificate – is given every year to those who have done special work in the field of education or for the welfare of the cow. It is established in the name of Swami Brahmananda, a freedom fighter, former parliamentarian and a saint who is known for his sacrifices and his contribution in the field of education.
Friedrich Irina Bruining, a German citizen who dedicated her life to the cause of sick and abandoned cows in Mathura, received the first Swami Brahmananda Award for cow protection in 2019.
Bruining, also known as Sudevi Dasi, is also a recipient of the Padma Shri.
In 2020, the award went to academician Dr Arun Kumar Pandey, who worked to strengthen India’s cultural and educational ties to South Korea.
Super 30 founder Anand Kumar said on Monday that he will conduct a test to tap talent for a coaching program in Uttar Pradesh’s Bundelkhand region in March 2022 as well.
“The children have shown great interest in studies. Examinations will be conducted by March next year to tap the talent for Super 30,” Anand Kumar told PTI.
‘Super 30’ is the coaching program of Kumar’s Ramanujan School of Mathematics in Patna.
According to its website, it hunts down 30 meritorious students from the economically backward sections of the society and prepares them to clear exams to get admission in prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
