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.
