Honourable Speaker, 18th Lok Sabha Shri Om Birla graces The CSR Journal Excellence Awards 2024 (7th Edition)
Mumbai, 30 September, 2024: Honourable Speaker, 18th Lok Sabha Shri Om Birla was the Chief Guest at the 7th Edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards 2024 hosted on the 30th of September, 2024, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. As it has been since the very inception, this year also, the theme for our awards was ‘India First’ with a focus on Women Empowerment.
Addressing a gathering of over 600 guests including senior bureaucrats, public representatives, social activists, youth leaders, artists, members of India Inc. and meritorious students representing the future of our nation at the 7th edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards, Honourable Speaker, 18th Lok Sabha Shri Om Birla stated, “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 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.”
Mr Amit Upadhyay, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, The CSR Journal, expressed, “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.”
Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha and President, Indian Olympic Association Smt P. T. Usha was present as one of our 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 graced the event. Paralympic athletes Navdeep Singh and Avani Lekhara were honoured on stage for drinking honour to the nation.
The prestigious event was hosted by Emcee Shaina Khan while talented singer Annkur Pathakk and his team left everyone mesmerised with their soulful rendition. Dance performance by V Company was a major attraction of 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 annually.
