Trust Managing Trustee, Rajinder Rosy (Poetess), stated that this honor was initiated in 2004 with the support of Simmi Marwaha’s well-wishers. Each year, journalists from print, electronic, web, and photography media who have upheld the values of ethical journalism are recognized. 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.
