The third Karamveer Puraskar, the national awards for social justice and citizen action were presented at Rajghat. November 26, is celebrated as the National Social Justice and Citizen Action Day to rekindle the spirit of our constitutional pledge.

The third Karamveer Puraskar, the national awards for social justice and citizen action were presented at Satyagraha Mandap, Gandhi Darshan, Rajghat. November 26, of every year is celebrated as the National Social Justice and Citizen Action Day since 1949, to rekindle the spirit of our constitutional pledge.

Speaking on the occasion, Jeroninio Almeida, founder and chief volunteer, iCONGO said, "In a country of almost 1.2 billion Indians, we have many awards for movie stars and other achievers launched by tobacco, FMCG, media and beverage brands as marketing campaigns but we are yet to recognise the real-life unsung heroes who believe that it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness by leading a change.” He further added, "Karmaveer Puraskaar is given to change dreamers and doers who practise philanthropy for social justice."

Karamveer Puraskar has been instituted by the iCONGO-Indian Confederation of NGOs, representatives of people sector and social justice through a citizen action movement in India
. This is to recognise individuals who have been pivotal in leading a change beyond their business by being committed at individual levels to work on social issues. The awards are given to individuals for their contribution to social justice and citizen action; they are chosen from various sectors and this year the focus is on ’people from government, businesses and media’.

The short-listing of the screened entries is carried out by an expert panel from iCONGO comprised of representatives from across areas of work and past awardees based on a process set and created by Mercer and Grant Thornton. Mercer and Grant Thornton are international audit firms.

November 26, is the day the citizens of India adopted the constitutional pledge in 1949 and is now promoted by iCONGO as the National People’s Social Justice and Action Day. The next year will be the 60th year of adoption of the pledge and on the occasion, iCONGO would be launching a mammoth signature campaign to address an appeal to the President, Prime Minister and all citizens serving in the government to announce this day as the National Social Justice and Citizen Action Day.

The Karmaveer Puraskaar is given out at the Right Every Wrong Conclave every year; it is a national forum for social justice and citizen action. Every year, eminent thought leaders and citizens concerned with constructive opinions from India and overseas gather to discuss social issues like poverty and marginalisation, corporate social responsibility, responsible media, climate change, child rights, animal rights and other social justice issues and understand the need for a citizen movement to come together as one and pledge to try and right every wrong. This year, the theme is about Citizen Action for Electoral Reforms.
