The sixth edition of The Hindu businessline Changemaker Awards, which celebrates individuals and organisations that have brought about change in society, will be held in New Delhi on September 13.
Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs will give away the awards to the winners. The awards will be given across six categories: Social Transformation; Digital Transformation; Financial Transformation; Young Changemaker; Iconic Changemaker; and Changemaker of the Year. There is a new awards category this year called the Chairperson’s Award. This award is not part of the jury process that other awards have gone through and is given to an achiever in the field of education.
Over 950 nominations were received from the public and readers. They were evaluated by The Hindu businessline along with knowledge partners Deloitte and Ashoka. The shortlisted nominations were then independently validated by Niiti Consulting, the validation partner.
