Kurukshetra University will confer the Goyal Peace Prize 2021-22 on ISRO Chairman S Somanath for his contributions to space technology.
Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, the founder of Sulabh International, was the first recipient of the Goyal Peace Prize in 2015.
Dr K Kasturirangan, a former ISRO chairman, received a Goyal Award in 1998.
The Goyal Prizes were instituted by a philanthropist Late Mr.Ram S. Goyal, a non-resident Indian settled in the USA, to honor Indian scientists and social activists working towards the service of our country.
For various activities related to these prizes, a Trust named Goyal Foundation was established in 1991 with Prof. S.P. Singh (a close friend of Mr. Goyal) as Convener of the Advisory Board.
