IDEOLOGY

The liberalization of trade and growth influenced by the remarkable performance of information technology, communications and bio-technology, has set a new belief that role of the State is reduced and that the Start-ups and MSMEs are emerging as a fuel to the national economy.

In most of the developed countries, it is a common perception that the Corporate sector can and should contribute not only to their own shareholder returns but that such returns, in the long term are intimately linked to the wider community in which they operate.

India is the largest democracy and the fifth largest economy of the world. There are more than 1600 languages and dialects spoken by a population of over one billion. The opportunities and conditions for growth in India requires a commitment by various national and international organizations to praise the achievements of the every sector that contribute to the development of human capital.

Indian Achievers’ Forum draws attention on the theme “how the successful achievers can help the social & economic infrastructural development in and around the country.” It provides examples of social entrepreneurs and successful models of the society and corporate sector partnership. 

Since the rapid growth and development of the Indian economy has increased the need for a common platform where all the sections of community can discuss the major issues of India’s economic growth. Indian Achievers’ Forum is the platform which engages in developing and sharing ideas, opinions and knowledge on the key issues. 

There are people in the society for whom circumstances, lack of resources and setbacks are no hurdles. These individuals are people of strong will and dedication. Despite all odds, these champions polish their lives so much in their field of interest that they stand apart in society. Having achieved great heights in their respective domains, these individuals need to be encouraged, hence Achievers’ World Excellence Awards. Nominations can be submitted by anyone who has a track record of such trailblazing efforts in any field and the likes of Corporate, Sports, Science, Technology, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Social Service, Courageous Acts, Arts & Culture, Entertainment, Tourism, Healthcare, Education, CSR, Media, Community Development, Job Creation etc. – which makes the work exceptional – beyond the common league.
