Kumar Memorial Awards, initiated in loving memory of Late Mrs. Sudha Kumar and Late Mr. Amrit Kumar, are a heartfelt tribute to two remarkable individuals who left an indelible mark on the lives they touched. These awards serve as a testament to their enduring legacy and the profound impact they had on the community.

She was a beacon of strength for children and a trusted friend, philosopher, and guide to anyone who sought her counsel. With an unwavering zest for life, she radiated warmth and compassion, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to have known her. Robust common sense and most amicable nature were her forte. Mr. Amrit Kumar, fondly referred to as ‘Vakil Saheb,’ was a legal luminary and an eminent jurist. Known for his tireless work ethic and unwavering commitment to his profession, he established himself as a self-made lawyer of great repute. With unparalleled simplicity and a profound spiritual quotient, he exemplified humility and integrity in all aspects of his life.
