Salaam India Awards 2014, constituted by India TV last year, is back to felicitate exceptional acts of bravery exemplified by the common citizens of India.
This year’s Awards Jury includes India TV Chairman & Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma; former India CEC Dr SY Quraishi; former Army Chief Gen Deepak Kapoor; ace shooter Col (Retd) Rajyavardhan S Rathore; and former IPS Dr Kiran Bedi.
In line with the guiding principle for the awards, the chosen honourees are those who are not intrinsically fearless, but who could selflessly win over their fears to safeguard someone else’s interest while risking or even sacrificing their own lives in the hour of need.
Announcing the second edition of the honours, Ritu Dhawan, MD & CEO, India TV said, “We are glad that we are again getting a chance to felicitate our real heroes, who simply inspire us all by their actions demonstrating selflessness and fearlessness, also the most important traits of a news source.”
Salaam India Awards will be conferred across four categories – Bravery Awards, Gallantry Awards, Jyoti Singh Awards and Special Awards.
Officer’s Choice has once again decided to join hands with India TV as the presenting sponsor of the initiative, along with Amrapali Group as the associate sponsor. Dainik Bhaskar and Pioneer Publicity are the media partners for the initiative. Showtime Events will be managing the event.
