She never once asked for recognition. She never demanded space in the history books. Yet she held the fractured pieces of a broken movement together—one meal, one act of kindness, one court visit at a time. And when my father was disillusioned—betrayed by post-Rana politics, silenced by new elites, and tormented by the banning of his writings—it was my mother who gave him the strength to keep going. “Write,” she told him. “Let the truth live on.” She turned his pain into purpose. She turned our home into a place of resistance.

India recognized early that a nation’s progress depends on premier institutes of learning. In fact, in 1946 the Sarkar Committee recommended creating world-class institutions (the IITs and IIMs) aligned with national development. These became engines of innovation, STEAM leadership and global influence. Transformative benefits of National Recognition declaring the public premier institutions as one of national importance is not mere symbolism; it unlocks concrete benefits that modernize and sustain excellence. Most importantly, it guarantees long-term funding and institutional autonomy. With national-importance status, these institutes could tap philanthropy and multilateral programs. Donors and sister institutions are far more willing to invest in a formally recognized national priority.
