CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Shikshagraha Awards, presented by The Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives, is now open for nominations. These prestigious awards honour individuals dedicated to making education in India more accessible, equitable, and inclusive, with a particular focus on underserved communities.
Whether it’s a teacher inspiring young minds, a parent advocating for better schools, a policymaker shaping the future of education, a young individual designing school improvement initiatives, a volunteer raising funds to build a learning centre or a community member raising awareness about the importance of the education – they all are education leaders building an equitable and inclusive education ecosystem.
Winners of the Shikshagraha Awards will receive a prize of INR 10 lakh, distributed over two years, to support their work in transforming education and creating a lasting impact.
Shikshagraha, built on an audacious aspiration: to reimagine public education as a shared societal mission driven by collective action, is a people’s movement to improve 1 million public schools in India by 2030, ensuring every child has access to quality education and the opportunity to dream and succeed.
“Exceptional education leaders are the catalysts of change, and every action they take creates ripples that transform countless student lives. These leaders never give up, whatever challenge stands in their way, and this dedication inspires entire communities to join the journey toward education equity. The Shikshagraha Awards will honour such individuals who go beyond their formal roles to drive this meaningful change in India’s public education landscape,” said Mr S.D. Shibulal, Co-founder and Former Member of the Board and CEO of Infosys Ltd.; Founder, Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives and Patron – Shikshagraha.
