Mukesh Ambani's news: India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, recently made a heartfelt donation of Rs 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) in Mumbai – the same institute where he studied during the 1970s. This generous move by the Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) chairman is being seen as a true gesture of guru dakshina, honouring his teacher and mentor, Professor M M Sharma.
Mukesh Ambani Visits His Alma MaterOn Friday, Mukesh Ambani spent more than three hours at the Institute of Chemical Technology, formerly known as UDCT (University Department of Chemical Technology). He attended a special event held to launch the biography of Professor M M Sharma, titled Divine Scientist. The event turned emotional and nostalgic as Ambani shared memories from his college days and his first lecture by Prof Sharma.
A Tribute to Professor M M SharmaAmbani praised Professor Sharma for being a visionary who played a silent yet powerful role in shaping India’s economic future. According to Mukesh Ambani, Prof Sharma believed that India’s growth depended on freeing the country’s industries from the outdated license and permit system, allowing Indian companies to scale up and compete with the world.
“Just like my father Dhirubhai Ambani, Prof Sharma had a dream of transforming India’s industrial landscape from scarcity to global leadership,” said Mukesh Ambani. He added, “Both these visionaries believed that science and technology, when combined with private entrepreneurship, could bring prosperity to every Indian.”
Rs 151 Crore Donation to Institute of Chemical TechnologyAs a mark of respect and gratitude, Mukesh Ambani announced a massive donation of Rs 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology. The donation is an “unconditional grant”, made entirely on the suggestion of Prof Sharma, who requested Ambani to do something meaningful for the institute.
“When he tells us something, we just listen,” said Ambani. “Prof Sharma told me, ‘Mukesh, you must do something big for ICT.’ I am happy to fulfil his wish with this donation.”
Professor Sharma – A National GuruCalling him a "Rashtra Guru – a Guru of Bharat", Mukesh Ambani credited Prof Sharma for guiding not only him but also inspiring the rise of India’s chemical industry. He stated that his success and the journey of the chemical sector in India are deeply connected to Prof Sharma’s guidance.
Why This Donation MattersThe Rs 151 crore donation to the Institute of Chemical Technology is one of the biggest contributions made by Mukesh Ambani towards education and science in India. This funding will be used to enhance research facilities, support students, and boost innovation in chemical and scientific fields – a perfect tribute to Prof Sharma’s legacy.
Mukesh Ambani’s generous donation to the Institute of Chemical Technology is more than just a financial gift. It is a touching story of gratitude, mentorship, and the importance of giving back to society. Through this act of guru dakshina, Ambani has once again shown his commitment to education, science, and nation-building.
