The Jury's Special Mention Awards were presented to Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) and Aravind Eye Care System for their outstanding contributions and impact.
Instituted in memory of Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Hero Group, the Awards honour organisations that view learning as a strategic driver of performance, innovation and long-term growth.
The Awards ceremony was presided over by Shri Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), who presented the honours to the winners before delivering a keynote address on "Bharat ka Nirmaan: Roots, Values, Future."
In his address, Shri Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of RSS spoke about the importance of teaching future generations about taking pride in their work.
