Guwahati (Assam) [India], November 11 : Ashok Kumar Pansari, Chancellor of Assam Royal Global University (RGU), has been conferred with the `Outstanding Educator of the Year 2024' Award for excellence in Education under the Chanakya National Award Series.

The award was received by RGU's Vice Chancellor, Professor YSR. Murthy, on behalf of Pansari from Shripad Yesso Naik, Union Minister of State for Power, New and Renewable Energy Sources.
Welcoming this award, VC, RGU, Professor Murthy said,, "This award is a fitting recognition of Dr. Ashok Pansari's painstaking efforts over the last two decades. He is truly an institution builder having established the DPS, Guwahati in 2003, followed by the Royal Group of Institutions in 2009, Royal Global School in 2012 and the Assam Royal Global University in 2017. He has created excellent educational opportunities in the North Eastern Region which has been facing developmental challenges for the past many decades.
