Mumbai, 29 July 2025 – ABP Asmita honoured the state’s silent trailblazers at the prestigious Asmita Sanman Puraskar 2025 in Ahmedabad. The event celebrated individuals whose grit, innovation and service have quietly reshaped Gujarat’s social, cultural, and economic fabric.
Chief minister Bhupendra Patel, the chief guest, lauded the awardees as the true force behind Gujarat’s growth, while Shankar Chaudhary, speaker of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, praised them for embodying the state’s resilient spirit.
The honours spanned diverse fields from Rakesh Patel, who turned a rural government school into a model of excellence, to poet Kavi Rajendra Shukla for his enduring literary impact. Singer Bhoomi Trivedi was feted for her music, actor Siddharth Randeria for his contributions to theatre and cinema, and Paru Jaykrishna, the first woman president of GCCI, for her trailblazing leadership in industry.
The Maha Sanman went to Dr J.M. Vyas for his groundbreaking work in forensic science and engineering, while grassroots champions like Raskibhai and the villagers of Biliaamba were recognised for reviving kho-kho at the community level.
From unsung educators to cultural icons, ABP Asmita’s celebration was a reminder that Gujarat’s story is written not only in boardrooms and government offices but in classrooms, playgrounds, and quiet acts of service.
