Suman Sawhney

(October 18,1947 to March 29,2023)

Suman Sawhney was both the force and inspiration behind Mr Ashok Sawhney’s social welfare projects. Her strong values and shared belief with her spouse actualised their life’s philosophy that wealth is to be used to wipe a few tears and empower those left behind. She had imbibed strong family values and in her own very special way promoted Indian culture and way of life.

She was an avid reader. Books were her constant companion. An environmentalist, devoted her energies to promote green living. She grew and nurtured diverse plants, flowers and vegetables. Her deep knowledge and understanding about each variety were truly amazing! She generously shared farm produce to promote healthy lifestyle and consumption of health-giving foods.

Suman was a connoisseur of art and exclusive collectors’ items. Her collection displayed deep understanding of cultures and respect for their distinct identity. She had a knack to preserve and display these to enhance each article’s appeal that impelled the viewer to know more about origin and linkages.
