Dr. Satish K. Shukla was presented with a prestigious award by Lions International Multiple District 3233 at the “Urvish” convention on 24 May 2026 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
The citation recognized two landmark achievements: the creation of the “Surgeon and Scalpel” logo in 2024 with the slogan “No Scalpel – No Surgeon,” and his designation as “Icon Surgeon of SAARC Nations” after evaluation by senior SAARC surgeons chaired by Prof. A. M. Choudhary of Pakistan.
The award ceremony featured senior Lions officials including Chief Patron Lion Kamlesh Jain, Patron Lion V. K. Ladia, and others, and highlighted Dr. Shukla’s past leadership roles such as President of the Association of Surgeons of India and former President of the Indian Association of Surgical Oncology.
Dr. Shukla’s personal background was noted, referencing his father Shri L. S. Shukla’s service as Supreme Court Advocate, Mayor of Indore (1965‑1969), and Bar Council Chairman, and an anecdote about a meeting with Dr. G. R. Murphy in the United States.
The recognition is portrayed as a proud moment for the Indian medical fraternity and the global surgical community.
