The Nari Shakti Puraskar, instituted in 1999 is a way for us to recognize women who have exceeded expectations to challenge the status quo and make a lasting contribution to women’s empowerment. The Government of India confers these awards on individuals and institutions in recognition of their service to the cause of women. The outstanding contributions in the field of women development & upliftment by way of being role models are of primary consideration in identifying the recipients of Puraskar.

Kalpana Shankar, Chairperson of Hand in Hand India, an organisation working on women SHGs, livelihoods and child labour received this year’s Nari Shakti Award from President Shri.Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, on Wednesday, 8th of March, 2017.
