On Teachers' Day 2026, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar announced the Professor Ramesh Tendulkar Memorial Fellowship, in tribute to his late father. The fellowship aims to support young doctors specializing in cleft and craniofacial care in Srinagar. One Doctor of Medicine (MD) will be awarded financial assistance each year to undertake a year-long program, culminating in a certificate from the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation.
Tendulkar reflected on his father's pivotal role in his life, stating that he began to recognize his love for cricket at home, before anyone outside his family knew his name.

The fellowship, an extension of his father's values, seeks to provide opportunities for young healthcare professionals to develop specialized skills, following in the footsteps of his mentor.
