Mahatma Gandhi Samman
Indians are making considerable contributions and are dominating all over the world in their field of profession with excellent achievements and are creating wonders with their Midas Touch. The most eminent achievers, who have made a place for themselves in their profession and are upholding flag of India high, are honoured with “Mahatma Gandhi Samman” in the House of Lords, London, every year.
Our Role
We bring together individuals, entrepreneurs, businessmen, educationists, activists, professionals, et al on a common platform and honour them for their exceptional work with Achievers’ Awards in different categories. Once bequeathed with the awards, the winners and their stories are featured in the Achievers’ World magazine which then goes to a wide range of readers pan-India and overseas.
The publication has been pioneering the cause for over a decade and a half. Besides this, we keep a close concern about the Indian community residing overseas. Having been born from that concern, one of our major aims of Achievers’ World is to promote and encourage the NRIs who have left a mark on the sands of achievement and have done some exceptional work for the betterment, growth & development of the Indian diaspora in any country across the globe. Some of the finest names of that NRI league among others are Amartya Sen, Amitav Ghosh, Deepak Chopra, Gurinder Chadha, Hinduja Brothers, Laxmi Mittal, Mira Nair, Rohinton Mistry, Sabeer Bhatia, Salman Rushdie, Sam Pitroda, Lord Swaraj Paul, Vinod Khosla, Satya Nadella, Zubin Mehta, Indra Nooyi, Lakshmi Mittal, Salman Rushdie and Kalpana Chawla.
Why this Award?
One might be have a craving to share space with some of the bigwigs of Politics, Entertainment, Sports, Beauruecracy, Education, Science, etc, yet turning that craving into a reality may seem a far cry for many.
Some may stay waiting for some miracle to happen in their lives while a few, quick on making hay while the sun shines, come and merge with the latest trends happening in the recent times to share a platform with who’s who of diverse domains.
With that purpose in mind to bring people of such diverse arenas together and give them a common platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, ideas, thoughts & views and networking, the emergence of Achievers’ World has set its foot. When that platform is provided, the participants are also given opportunities to share their experiences and presentations about their respective domains, which therefore acts as a huge promotional platform. Apart from the promotion, the Awards forum creates a solid ground to establish a base and repo for someone’s respective brand or organization. Some of the select award winners are featured in the Awards’ publication – Achievers’ Award, and vice versa.
