Currently a sitting Judge of the Delhi High Court, Justice Prathiba M. Singh has been a leading contributor in the field of intellectual property in India as a lawyer and a judge. She completed her LL.M. from the University of Cambridge and is now the first Indian judge to be elected as an Honorary Fellow of Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge. The vision behind the scholarship is encapsulated in the words of Justice Singh - "If I had not received the ODAAAS Scholarship in 1991-92, I would not have made it to Cambridge. The scholarship is what changed the course of my life. I just hope scholars who get the scholarship come back to India and support such activities in future."

The Prathiba M. Singh Cambridge LL.M. Scholarship was set up as an initiative of the Sardar Manmohan Singh Charitable Trust with the heavenly blessings of Lt. Sardar Manmohan Singh, father-in-law of Justice Singh. It is with a view to continue his legacy of always helping ones in need that the Trust has been formed in his name by his family. The purpose of this Scholarship is not only to encourage meritorious students to study at Cambridge, but more so to enable them to study when a scholarship is the only means of completing their masters in law.
