The University of Hawai’i Alumni Association (UHAA) has named Ashok Kumar Malhotra (PhD *69 Manoa, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy at State University of New York at Oneonta) as a recipient of its 2010 Distinguished Alumni Award.
Dr. Ashok Malhotra, President of Ninash Foundation recently reported:
While visiting the Ninash Foundation’s four Indo-International Schools during December 2008-January 2009, Linda and I received the most heartwarming news that two of our underprivileged children had been accepted into a college of their choice. There were tears in our eyes and joy in our hearts because these same children, thirteen years ago, were picking up cow dung as their livelihood, and now they were able to attend college. While this may not be earth-shattering news for those living in the West, for these students it was a miracle of great achievement because by attending college and earning a degree they would be able to break the age-old caste barrier. Moreover, they would have an excellent chance of being accepted as equals while taking advantage of the booming economy of India.
