Welcome

The Amit Zutshi Foundation aims to fight use of OTC drugs and give scholarships to young people in need. Amit Zutshi, who was 30, passed away after a brief illness of four days on March 19, 2008. The family believes his death was a result of overusing over-the-counter health supplements.

The Foundation was conceived by Amit's younger brother Rahul to honor his great life and at the same time, improve the health of the community at large, particularly South Asians, by creating awareness about the issues faced by youth in this fast paced agitated life of present times. Learn more about the Foundation.

The Last Smile

Each person has a story to tell. Jeevan Zutshi tells his in The Last Smile, a complex work of history, politics and tragedy. The work "shares a real life story of a consumer in the loosely regulated U.S. health supplements market and sheds light on the dire consequences from being uninformed."

Two lines from the poem, In Memory of a Great Soul by Professor R. L. Kaul reflect the essence of this memoir, "The fragrant flower of rare beauty, left the mortal frame to join eternity."

"Readers who have lost loved ones will be touched by Zutshi's struggle with pain and his hope that his son's brief life was not in vain."

In Memory Of A Great Soul
Prof. R. L. Kaul

The fragrant flower of rare beauty,
left the mortal frame to join eternity.
He was simple like a child,
though looked stern but was mild.
He was mine, and so much thine,
he was filled with love divine.
Truth he held more than life,
righteousness was his only strife.
He was brave to face many odds,
the path he tread would frighten Gods.
And there he was always right,
more gracious than the sun so bright.
The light so bright shall always lead,
to peace, joy and love we need.
