26th Maharana Pratap Award to be Conferred on Dr. N. L. Kachhara
Announcement by Sajeev Seva Samiti, Felicitation on May 28
Udaipur,The 26th Maharana Pratap Award, conferred annually on the eve of Maharana Pratap Jayanti by the Sajeev Seva Samiti, will be presented this year to renowned scientist and scholar of Jain philosophy, Dr. N. L. Kachhara, on May 28, 2025, at Vigyan Samiti, Udaipur.
The announcement was made by the Samiti’s General Secretary Shantilal Bhandari, who informed that the selection committee meeting was held today under the chairmanship of Dr. K. L. Kothari at Vigyan Samiti. After deep deliberations on the recommended names, all seven members of the selection committee unanimously decided on Dr. Kachhara for this year's honour.
This prestigious award is given to personalities whose work has directly or indirectly benefited society. Notably, Pandit Janardan Rai Nagar and Brijraj Singh Chauhan were the first recipients of this award.
Media Coordinator Prof. Vimal Sharma shared that the Sajeev Seva Samiti was established as a voluntary organization. Its main objective is to work for the welfare of tribal and economically weaker families residing near Haldighati, whose ancestors had fought alongside Maharana Pratap in the historic battle to protect his dignity and pride.
From 1986, the Samiti organized a “Pratap Smriti Environmental Awareness Foot March” for nearly 20 years, from Udaipur to Haldighati. The march drew participation from a wide spectrum of society—from dignitaries to villagers—and played a key role in imprinting Maharana Pratap’s ideals and legacy in public consciousness. As a lasting tribute, the “Pratap Smriti Van” (Memorial Forest) was developed by the Forest Department on a hill in Shaheebagh (Haldighati).
It is noteworthy that the Sajeev Seva Samiti holds the unique distinction of being the only organization to bestow an award in Maharana Pratap’s name. The 26th award ceremony will be held on May 28, 2025, at Vigyan Samiti, Udaipur, in a grand celebration.
