Renu Dasgupta Memorial Prize is an award established to honour the legacy of an extraordinary woman whose century-long life was marked by strength, wisdom, and an unwavering belief in the power of education.

Renu Dasgupta was not only a much-loved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother — she was a guiding force in the lives of many. With steely determination and grace, she overcame life’s many challenges and inspired all who knew her. As the ultimate teacher for life, she shaped the values of those around her, through example — leading with compassion, conviction, and quiet strength.

This annual prize will be awarded to educators who carry forward that same spirit: those who demonstrate excellence in teaching and especially supporting neurodivergent children, and who have the rare ability to truly steer their students — not just academically, but in life. These are teachers who nurture, guide, and believe in their students' potential, creating inclusive spaces where every learner is seen, supported, and empowered.

In celebrating these educators, the Renu Dasgupta Memorial Prize continues her legacy — one of resilience, belief in human potential, and an unshakable commitment to education as a force for good.
