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<\/sup>\u00a0edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards,\u00a0Honourable Speaker, 18th<\/sup>\u00a0Lok Sabha Shri Om Birla\u00a0<\/strong>stated, \u201cI 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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Amit Upadhyay, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, The CSR Journal, expressed, \u201cOur\u00a0theme 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.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.

The prestigious event was hosted by\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Emcee Shaina Khan while\u00a0<\/span><\/span>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.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
