Shri Ashok Khemka, IAS  
Winner of ‘S R Jindal Prize – 2011’ for Crusade Against Corruption    

Shri Ashok Khemka exposed illegal and arbitrary allotment of government houses in Chandigarh, non-existent employees of State Administrative Reforms Commission, the nexus between the suppliers of bricks and the government departments and illegal transfer of prime land in Gurgaon to a builder at a vastly reduced rate.  He showed courage in refusing to implement transfer orders of teachers issued by his superiors, which were contrary to the policy of the Government.  

Shri Ashok Khemka is jointly awarded ‘S R Jindal Prize – 2011’ for ‘Crusade against Corruption’ with a cash prize of Rs. 10 Lakhs with Shri Sanjiv Chaturvedi for his fearless efforts in exposing corruption in high places.
