Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Graces The CSR Journal Excellence Awards 2024 In Mumbai
The event was attended by a gathering of over 600 guests including senior bureaucrats, public representatives, social activists, youth leaders, artists, members of India Inc. and students.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was the chief guest at the 7th Edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards 2024 hosted on September 30 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The theme of this year's awards was ‘India First’ with a focus on Women Empowerment.
The event was attended by a gathering of over 600 guests including senior bureaucrats, public representatives, social activists, youth leaders, artists, members of India Inc. and students.
Om Birla exteneded his gratitude to the awardees and said that the work being done by the companies is making people's lives better.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and everyone who are working hard to bring a smile on the faces of the underprivileged people and trying to make their lives better. What the companies are doing for the society is also a very noble task. I would like to say this that if with your efforts you are able to bring about a smile on at least one person's face, there is no job nobler than this," the Lok Sabha Speaker said.
"The government at the Central and state level has introduced schemes for the economic betterment of the society and today we are witnessing a socio-economic change in India. India is progressing as a nation and has become stronger and more powerful and our nation is earning respect internationally," he added.
Amit Upadhyay, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The CSR Journal said that the theme of women empowerment has been very part of the Indian culture and traditions.
“Our theme for this event is India first and our focus is on women empowerment. This is a subject closer to my heart and I always keep saying this that women do not need any empowerment. They are empowered. Historically responsibility towards the society has been ingrained in Indian culture just like communal harmony. It is a part of our culture and tradition which has been running through our veins," Amit Upadhyay said.
The event was also attended by P. T. Usha, Member of Parliament in Rajya Sabha and President of the Indian Olympic Association, who was one of the esteemed guests.
The star-studded event also witnessed the attendance of Bollywood superstar Ayushmann Khurana, noted actors Vikrant Massey, Dia Mirza and Manushi Chhillar who are also known for their philanthropy and social work.
Indian star footballer Sunil Chhetri also attended the event. Paralympic athletes Navdeep Singh and Avani Lekhara were honoured on stage for bringing honour to the nation.
The award event was hosted by Emcee Shaina Khan while singer Annkur Pathakk and his team left everyone mesmerised with their soulful rendition. The dance performance by V Company was also a major attraction in the evening.
India mandated Corporate Social Responsibility in 2014 and since then the field has seen enormous growth potential for human development. With an aim to recognise the efforts of India Inc. in CSR, 'The CSR Journal Excellence Awards' are organised every year.
