"This is a good moment to be the EAM of India. I want to share with you why it's a good moment - 1st reason- the nature of the govt. I have worked all my life in many govts. When you have a PM with such a strong commitment to modernising India. If you look at the decisions that are taken, it is really an extraordinary period. It's great privilege to participate in it. Second reason - the external and domestic dynamic has become much closer. Third reason is India itself. This is no longer the era where people are satisfied with the basics," said Union Minister S Jaishankar in his address after winning NDTV's 'India First' Award.
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.
