The death of the only young IPS son was no less than a terrible thunderbolt for Manumukt’s father, the country’s prominent litterateur and educationist, Dr. Ramnivas Manav, and mother, Dr. Kanta, a former economics professor. In such days, any couple would have broken apart, but the human couple, showing amazing patience, not only endured the unbearable pain but also started trying their best to save, decorate and keep alive the memories of their son Manumukt. He formed the Manumukt Manav Memorial Trust by investing his entire life’s savings and established a small auditorium, museum, and library in the Manumukt Manav Bhawan in Narnaul, Haryana.
Like the last five years, in the year-2022 also, Manumukt ‘Manav’ Memorial Trust became popular throughout the year due to its important cultural activities. In the year 2022, a total of twenty-one programs, big and small, were organized by the Trust, including ‘The World Hindi-Day Celebration’, ‘The International Civil Script Conference’, ‘The International New-Samvatsar Celebration’, ‘The International Sedoka-Conference’, ‘The Global Literature Festival’, ‘The International Matadin-Murti Devi Memorial Ceremony’, ‘International Manumukt ‘Manav’ Memorial Poet-Conference’, ‘Best NCC Cadet Honor-ceremony’ and ‘International Youth Honor-ceremony’ in addition to ‘Jainism in the Global Scenario’ ‘Relevance of Hindi’, ‘Resurgence of Sanatan Dharma-Culture’ and ‘Position of Hindi in the Global Scenario’ included international seminars.
Notably, Manumukt Manav was the most brilliant and energetic young police officer of the 2012 batch and Himachal cadre. Born on November 23, 1983, in Hisar and with higher education from Panjab University Chandigarh, Manumukt was a multi-achieving Singham officer with NCC C-certificate. Apart from being a great thinker, he was a versatile artist and a seasoned photographer, he was a master of selfies, and that’s why all his friends were his admirers. He used to think big for social service. From a young age, he wanted to establish a health center in his village Tigra (Narnaul), Haryana, and a civil service academy in Narnaul in memory of his grandparents. He had many other golden dreams for society, which he was very close to fulfilling, but his untimely death destroyed all those dreams.
