Mr.Syam Sundar, son of late Dr.Kuppachi who was giving a pure gold medal for about 8 - 9 years and later discontinued due to the soaring gold prizes (for 4-5 years we were giving a gold coated silver medal from the Research Forum funds) promised to resume sponsoring a pure gold medal from 2015 onwards.
