Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee

The foundation bears the name of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee (1901–1953), a towering figure in modern Indian history — an educationist, parliamentarian, and nationalist leader who served as India's first Minister for Industry and Supply. His vision of a strong, united India rooted in its civilisational heritage continues to inspire the foundation's research and advocacy.

Through its work, the foundation seeks to carry forward his legacy of principled scholarship and unwavering commitment to the nation.
