The Annual Scheme of Awards constitutes a major part of the activities of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF), Udaipur.

The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation was established in 1969, to encourage all forms of education, music, the arts and culture as well as preserving tradition, heritage and ecology. The Foundation was planned as a means of protecting, honouring and preserving the duties of custodianship. In today's India, sovereignty such as in Mewar has been summarily disposed and replaced by custodianship. These charities may not be mandatory, but they are a visible and a verifiable expression to care for the well being of the people of Mewar.
A distinguished panel of scholars, artists, historians and civil servants put forward a list of potential awardees to a Selection Committee. Today there are 16 Annual Awards to honour service and achievement of permanent value, already rendered to society, by prominent persons through their chosen field of activity.
