Engineering an answer to poverty
IChemE President Dr Ramesh Mashelkar said that his own upbringing in the poverty-stricken streets of Mumbai made the prize especially important to him: "There are so many people in the world who survive on less than $2 a day and it is those people that this new award will support. I am looking forward to learning about some of the many outstanding projects that are taking place to support poorer communities."
The Award is sponsored by Reliance Industries and named after the company founder, Dhirubhai Ambani. The prize will be presented at the IChemE Awards Dinner on October 29th.
