Thousands and thousands of people who make sure the wheels of democracy are well-oiled and -maintained -- who go to every nook and corner of the country, from jungles to mountains carrying electronic voting machines so that even a single individual in the last border village can have a say in electing leaders -- were honoured Friday with the 'NDTV Indian of the Year Award 2024'.
They are India's polling booth officers, the 'Indian of the Year'. NDTV Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia presented the award.
Other notable winners in their respective fields include professor Annapurni Subramaniam, who received Science Icon of the Year Award; Namo Drone Didi Yojana, honoured with Social Impact of the Year Award, and Dr Gagandeep Kang, who received Health Leader of the Year 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.
