Instituted in 1958, the National Awards to Teachers celebrate the exceptional efforts of educators who enrich the quality of education and transform the learning experience of students. Traditionally restricted to school teachers, the awards were extended in 2023 to include faculty from Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) and Polytechnics, making Dr. Dwivedi's recognition especially significant.

Dr. Dwivedi has played a pioneering role in disseminating entrepreneurial mindset and culture among youth across Uttarakhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Goa, and Ladakh. Under his leadership, the Devbhoomi Udyamita Yojana has become a landmark initiative of the Uttarakhand Higher Education Department, nurturing thousands of student entrepreneurs and laying the foundation of a vibrant startup ecosystem in the state.
