Dr. Chauhan also has the distinction of being the NRI Member of four select committees set up respectively by the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. It was due to his many contributions that President Zail Singh honoured him with the "NRI of the Year Award" for contributing the most in providing technology inputs in India.
