The "Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma Gold Medal for Academic and General Proficiency" was instituted in the year 1994 by the IITB Senate from an endowment made by Honourable Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, then President of India. This award is meant to recognize students' academic attainments as well as contributions to the enrichment of community and national life, performing arts, fine arts, technical arts and technology, providing leadership and organizational skills, exemplary moral and ethical behaviour in the service of the community.
