On the question on whether there is room for more cuts in fuel prices, the Union Minister pointed to the model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha polls. "Any statement I make is bound to be picked on," he said.
About The Awards
Since 2003, when NDTV launched the first ever Indian of the Year, the event has become synonymous with recognizing those Indians – individuals, organizations and institutions – who have contributed to the idea and identity of India in one way or the other, whose contributions to the country have strengthened the foundation of our society.
The awards have recognized the unsung hero in the same breath as the most celebrated – our focus has always been on the extraordinary work. It is to honor extraordinary work that we gather once again to celebrate the Indian of the Year - 2024.
