Shri Charan Singh Sapra, who is an avid follower of Rajivji's Ideology, initiated these awards in year 1995, in an endeavour to keep alive the vision of his beloved leader. These awards have been instituted to commemorate the memory of not only a legendary Prime Minister of India, but of a man who architected the new age developments that have become a part of our daily life today.
Since 12 years this platform brings together various fraternities and their maestros to celebrate the spirit of achievement . . . a spirit that inspires aspirants to excel and others to take notice. This is today the most coveted honor that our country bestows upon any Indian who deserves it. The award gets reported by regional, national & international media and is telecasted internationally on Sony TV, Sab TV & Set Max.
Rajiv Gandhi Awards Committee ensures a smooth & genuine conduction of these awards and the processes therein. Other than these awards, the committee is also engaged in various social activities throughout the year. The committee sets a fool-proof jury six months in advance to the event, which then selects the nominees. The jury consists of stalwarts from various walks of life like special dignitaries, critics & journalists with a global outlook and those who have contributed towards the progress of the nation significantly.
In order to aid global viewing, the event is embellished with live performances by Indian stars. Every year the event is graced by various cabinet ministers, chief ministers, dignitaries & eminent socialists by their valuable presence.
The event is held at the National Centre for Performing Arts, Nariman Point, Mumbai, the best indoor venue available in India.
