Dr. Nikhila Pachani Honoured with Shakti Swarupa Puraskar 2026 on International Women's Day
International Women's Day 2026 brought a special moment of recognition for Rajkot's own Dr. Nikhila Pachani, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist. She was presented with the Shakti Swarupa Puraskar – 2026 at a warm and inspiring award ceremony organised jointly by Maa Vatsalya Charitable Trust and Deevaa Education & Charitable Trust.
Celebrating Women Who Lead and Inspire
The event, held on the occasion of International Women's Day (8 March), brought together women achievers from various walks of life. The ceremony was a celebration of strength, service, and dedication — values that perfectly describe Dr. Pachani's journey in the field of interventional cardiology.
The award, whose name Shakti Swarupa translates to "embodiment of strength," was presented to honour women who are making a meaningful difference in their communities. For Dr. Pachani, that difference is felt every day in the cath lab and in the lives of cardiac patients across Rajkot and the Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
A Moment Captured and Shared
Photographs from the event show Dr. Pachani alongside fellow awardees and members of the police force, capturing a joyful and proud moment at the ceremony. The event was professionally photographed by Glare Click.
The occasion also highlighted the spirit of Give to Gain — a philosophy that Dr. Pachani embodies through her commitment to accessible, quality cardiac care for patients in Rajkot and nearby areas including Porbandar, Dhoraji, and Upleta.
