About Yashokirti Award

The Yasho Kirti Award is installed by Shri Avinash Shirode in the name of his late mother Sou. Shevantabai Shirode. This award is in the form of a trophy and certificate.


Every year, CSI, Nashik Chapter celebrates the Chapter Day as ‘IT Day’ in Nashik. On this occasion, the Yasho Kirti award will be given by the Hon. Chief Guest of the function. This award will be given to such a professional from the IT field, who has come up in his/her career from adverse circumstances and has achieved excellence through sheer hard work and intelligence.

Normally the society recognizes a person from his/her present position at the top but nobody knows how he has achieved this top position. There are many stalwarts who had to struggle very hard in their initial stage. They have very little education, no finance, no support, and no social background. They have started from adverse conditions and circumstances, from scratch and through constant struggle, hardships achieved the top position by honesty, sincerity, and loyalty to their work and of course, they had some ambition, some dreams, and some vision.

The society is unaware of such personalities. The basic idea of installing this award was to present such personalities before the society, particularly to the young generation who always find lacuna with the facilities, opportunities and the social system. Such personalities are indeed the inspiration to our society and young upcoming entrepreneurs.
