The Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education has bagged the Mother Teresa Excellence Award for exceptional work in the field of educating the girl child.

Instituted by the non-profit Economic Growth Society of India, the award honours both individuals and organizations for their contributions to India's economic and social growth.

The award, consisting of a momento and citation of excellence, was presented here this weekend to Vishakha Tripathi, president of the Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat Education that imparts free education to over 5,000 girls from the pre-primary to post-graduation level through its institutions at Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh.

The institution's aim is to remove any obstacle to girls' education.

Sehgal, a former director of the Central Forensic Science Laboritory; Acharya Yeshi Phunthosk, member of the Tibetan parliament- in-exile; Surinder Khanna, former cricketer; Mahant Surendra Nath, president of Shri Kaalika Peeth Trust, and Seema Chakraborty of the National Women Council.
