This year, Maharana Mewar Foundation 37th Annual Award Distribution Ceremony - 2019 was held on Sunday the 10th March 2019 at Manek Chowk, The City Palace, Udaipur. The distribution ceremony starts with the presentation of certificates to students from schools and universities in Udaipur and across the State of Rajasthan. This was followed by the main Ceremony when the international and national awardees gather on the dais to receive their awards from Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chief Guest and Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, Udaipur.

The international award instituted in 1996 and named after Col. James Tod is to honour a foreign national who has made a lasting contribution through his work of permanent value and understanding of the spirit and values of Udaipur and India. This year the award is given to Dr. Paul T. Craddock who has had a life-long interest in early technology and science. After graduating in Chemistry at the University of Birmingham he joined the Research Laboratory of the British Museum. After his preliminary visit of the ancient mines and smelting remains of the Zawar mines in December 1982, the investigations revealed how important the mines of Mewar were throughout India for several millennia, an importance that through his work has now been revived. This process was the result of continued research and experimentation over a long period, initiated and supported by the mine's owners, the Maharanas of Mewar.
