Mrs. Kiran Nadar Honored with France’s Highest Civilian Award Mrs. Kiran Nadar, the chairperson of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, received the prestigious "Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur" (Knight of the Legion of Honor) from the French Ambassador to India, Emmanuel Lenain. This highest French civilian award recognized Mrs. Nadar's exceptional contributions to the field of art and her unwavering dedication to promoting cultural accessibility both nationally and internationally. Her pivotal role in strengthening Indo-French cultural relations and fostering artistic cooperation has been commendable.

One notable collaboration was "Converges," an expansive exhibition showcasing original pictures by French photographers, organized in partnership with the Alkazi Foundation and the French Institute in India.

Mrs. Nadar's passion for art and philanthropy led her to establish India's first private philanthropic museum in 2005, housing her extensive art collection. Her dedication to the arts garnered recognition when Forbes Asian Magazine acknowledged her as a 'Hero of Philanthropy' in 2010. Additionally, Mrs. Kiran Nadar's role as an International Council Member of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York underscores her global influence and commitment to the art world's development.

The institution stands as a pioneering sociological foundation dedicated to transformative educational initiatives. With a vision aligned with societal progress, it actively fosters opportunities, scholarships, and mentorship programs.
