Organiser of the event, Salil Singhal, said, “While there are a number of charities supporting Vedic education at regional or local levels, there is no award at the national level. We decided to institute the annual award to encourage more and more schools, teachers and students to take up the study of the Vedas and propagate them for the good of society.
