thought-provoking write up indeed. Thanks for sharing.
In fact, the concern raised that of many eligible and talented people
being left out from the race is worth-pondering. Its an injustice that
majority of people been denied systematic access to advertisement have
no one to approach for the grievance redressal. I've been maintaining
for long that the disability department of the government of India
should leverage state-owned media such as radio/television to
publicise its schemes and announcements. However we are yet to see
this happening. Some of the NGOs getting funds from the government
are also liable for not dissiminating the info to the people residing
in the countryside. Moreover there are other serious issues related to
awards which need to be discussed and debated.
1. Lets do a research and dig out the deeper faultlines of 3 December
awards which dates back to 1999-2000 perhaps.
2. Its important to know how nominations are studied and committees
are constituted to select the awardees we should also know who are the
members who have been doing this honor for years?
3. Which states/regions/NGOs have been given awards more than once
over the years and which regions are less represented.
4. With due respect to many award-winners for their exemplary
accomplishments, I have a feeling that there is patronage politics
played out while selecting some of the awardees; that's why these
awards are losing their shin. And to everybody's shock, this year's
best state award goes to none other than Uttar Pradesh!

Dear friends,
With 3rd December just round the corner, here's an article I wrote on
Government awards for the disabled to ponder about some other forms of
intolerance in these days of award-wapsi.

Looking forward to your comments.
