“He was not only a visionary leader but also a compassionate humanitarian. His philanthropic efforts towards the welfare of stray animals, providing shelter through his five star hotels across India, demonstrated his commitment to the voiceless members of our society.

“Furthermore, his dedication to establishing cancer hospitals for the underprivileged showcased his unwavering belief in the right to health and dignity for all individuals, regardless and selfless service to humanity,” said Kanal.

He said that the recognition of such extraordinary individuals is essential for fostering a culture of philanthropy and compassion in our society.
