Nobel Prize Cash & Philanthropy
In Feb 2017 Kailash Satyarthi’s home in Delhi was burgled. A replica of his Noble medal and the diploma were stolen. At that time, he was attending a conference in South America.
Kailash Satyarthi received $0.7 million, about 3 crore rupees as his Nobel Prize award in 2014. He is likely to have donated this money to his own organization, The Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation.
