Memory Maestro Dr. Mahesh Gour Honoured with Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Memorial Award

Mumbai : In a world where young minds are burdened with pressure, marks, and memorization, one man has made it his life’s work to replace stress with self-belief and fear with confidence.

Dr. Mahesh Gour, recently honored with the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Memorial Award, is not just India’s leading memory coach. He is a mentor, a motivator, and a quiet revolutionist who believes that education should heal, not hurt.

A Chartered Accountant by training, Dr. Gour chose a different path not one of numbers, but of nurturing minds. Through his brainchild EduQuik, launched under Eduveda Edtech Pvt. Ltd., he has been reaching out to students who are struggling to cope with the weight of expectations. His mission? To transform the way children learn, using memory science, empathy, and motivation.

“In my early sessions, I saw students break down not because they weren’t smart, but because they were overwhelmed,” Dr. Gour recalls. “That’s when I knew my work wasn’t just about techniques. It was about healing.”

His approach is simple yet powerful. By introducing proven memory techniques and brain-based learning strategies, Dr. Gour helps students remember better, understand deeper, and perform with confidence. The results are heartwarming: students who once feared exams are now walking in with smiles and walking out with pride.

Over the years, he has received several recognitions—the Maharashtra Ratna Samman, Rajasthan Pride Award, and a world record in memory techniques. But this latest honor, the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Memorial Award, holds a special place in his journey. “It’s not just an award,” he says softly, “It’s a reminder that I’m on the right path.”

Parents thank him for bringing back joy in their children’s eyes. Students call him their “memory magician.” But Dr. Gour remains humble. “All I want,” he says, “is for every learner to believe they are capable and to never fear learning again.”

In a time when the world needs more compassion in classrooms, Dr. Mahesh Gour is doing something truly rare he is teaching with heart, and reminding us all that the most powerful memory is the one that makes you feel empowered.
