On November 18, 2006, the India Club of Greater Dayton introduced the Yukta Garg New Talent Award in her honor — given each year to children up to six years old performing for the first time on stage for the Club. Eleven children received the award for 2006.

Yukta Garg loved taking part in India Club events. Her first performance was at age four, during the 2004 Diwali celebrations, when she performed the song ‘Mahi Ve’ and choreographed and performed a few dance steps with other children for her father’s song ‘Suno Na Suno Na.’ She went on to perform in:

• ‘Sare Jahan Se Achha’ — Republic Day 2005
• ‘Pallo Latke’ — Holi 2005
• ‘Kanga Re Kanga Re’ — Diwali 2005
• ‘Vijay Hamara Lakshya Hai’ — Republic Day 2006
• ‘Rang De Basanti,’ where she also choreographed and danced at age five for her father’s song ‘Aaja Soniye’ — Vaisakhi 2006
• ‘Rang De Basanti’ again, and ‘Pasha Patel Ni Vaadi’ — DIFI 2006

As a tribute to such a talented young performer, and to recognize and encourage new talent in the community, the India Club of Greater Dayton introduced the annual Yukta Garg New Talent Award in her memory, starting in 2006. It is given each year to children up to six years of age (who have not yet turned seven by the time of the Club’s Diwali celebration) who have performed for the first time on stage at any India Club event that calendar year.

In recognition of these new talents, the India Club of Greater Dayton conferred the Yukta Garg New Talent Award on the following eleven children for 2006:

Anjali Phadke, Rohit Kishinchand, Rohith Revan, Sarah Schatzel, Seth Ryan, Vyad Singhvi, Karina Sarwal, Nidhi Menon, Anika Arora, Yash Gupta, Jayshree Iyer
