The MSS SUPPORT FOUNDATION is proud to announce its inaugural program – a tribute rooted in thought, service, and legacy – to be held on 20th July 2025 in Bhopal. This significant date marks the beginning of a journey to celebrate the life, values, and vision of Shri Manish Shankar Sharma, IPS, whose ideals continue to inspire countless lives.
The highlight of the event will be the “Soch aur Samridhi – The MSS Annual Memorial Lecture”, an enduring platform for dialogue on nation-building, public service, and ethical leadership. This year’s keynote address will be delivered by Lt. General Syed Ata Hasnain (Retd.), Member of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), a soldier-scholar widely admired for his strategic insights and humanitarian approach to conflict resolution.
The first ever MSS LEGACY AWARD will be conferred to individuals who have embodied the principles of integrity, courage, and public good – values that Shri Manish Sharma lived by.
The event will also witness the formal launch of the MSS SUPPORT FOUNDATION, an initiative dedicated to the causes closest to Shri Manish Sharma’s heart — from environmental stewardship and policy innovation to youth empowerment, technology education, and ethical governance.
Why July 20th Matters
This date holds special significance as it has been officially proclaimed as “Manish S. Sharma Day” by the Mayor of San Diego, USA – a rare international honour that reflects his impact beyond borders. It reminds us that one man’s commitment to public service, peacekeeping, and reform can indeed leave a global legacy.
What to Expect:
Join us as we come together to celebrate a life of Soch aur Samridhi and MSS , and to launch a movement that carries forward his spirit in action.
