The award is conferred each year on people for outstanding work in the fields of education, medicine and social work. The former vice-chancellor of the Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU), Ram Takawale will be giving away the award on Dr Pawar's third death anniversary.

A committee was set up to select the awaredee. "We short-listed Vivek Sawant for his outstanding contribution in the field of computer education. We are proud of Sawant, who hails from Nashik. He has contributed in this field at the national and international level," said Balasaheb Wagh, a member of the committee.
"Sawant provided basic knowledge about computers through his Maharashtra State Certification in Information Technology (MS-CIT) and 85 lakh people have taken the training from 5000 MS-CIT centres in the country. He also took Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to great heights. Vijay Bhatkar's super computer was made through C-DAC with Sawant's help," said Vasant Khairnar, another member of the committee.
