Greetings from the United Nations in India!

We are delighted to inform you that we have extended the deadline for the call for applications for this year's Women Transforming India Awards to 31 July 2018. 

In partnership with NITI Aayog, over the last two years, the campaign has been instrumental in recognising women from across sectors – economic, social and environment – such as India’s first woman Paralympic medalist, Deepa Malik; a 104-year-old who built the first toilet in her village, Kuwarbai Yadav; Lady Tarzan protecting forests from mafia in Jharkhand, Jamuna Tudu and 2018 Padma Shri awardee Subhasini Mistry, a housemaid who built a hospital for the poor, amongst others.

 

This year, we invite stories of exceptional women entrepreneurs, who are breaking the glass ceiling and challenging stereotypes through businesses, enterprises, and initiatives that provide:

• Innovative solutions to address some key development challenges and,
• Impacted lives of communities.

 

Nominations can be filed on behalf of individuals or by individuals themselves through the Women Entrepreneurship Platform here (http://wep.gov.in/wti-awards/). Or give us a missed call on +91-7042648877, and we'll help you apply.
