Additionally, the Mass Communication department topper from Punjab University, Chandigarh, is also felicitated. Awardees receive a pure silver memento as a mark of honor.
Simmi Marwaha, a promising journalist, tragically lost her life in a road accident in Chandigarh 23 years ago at the age of 24. Since then, her well-wishers have commemorated her birthday, April 3, by organizing this annual honor. To date, the trust has honored 67 journalists from across the country in past 23 years.
