About the Awards :
** The Anjani Mashelkar Inclusive Innovation Award fulfills this wish.
** This is an annual award of Rs. 1 lakh given to an individual or an organisation for an idea, prototype or a commercialized product, service and business model.
** The innovation must address the problems faced by the disadvantaged resource-poor people in India and offer an original and implementable solution
** This award presents an opportunity to spur and fuel innovation for the benefit of the most disadvantaged sections of society in order to ‘include’ them into the mainstream.
** It also has another equally important aim: to sensitize innovators about the problems faced by such sections of society- such as the resource poor elderly people.
** The awardees will preferably be those, who believe in not just ‘best practices’, but ‘next practices’. And most importantly, it will value solutions that represent ‘affordable excellence’, breaking the myth that ‘affordability’ and ‘excellence’ cannot go together.
** As the award grows in stature and gains national recognition,it will endeavour to leverage support for the innovator from various other private and public sector organizations.
