New Delhi [India], December 6 : New Delhi will host the Veer Savarkar International Impact Award 2025 on December 10, as the High Range Rural Development Society (HRDS) brings together policymakers, social leaders, scholars and civil society members for an evening dedicated to recognising transformative contributions to society.
The event will be held at the NDMC Convention Hall, spotlighting individuals and organisations whose work has delivered tangible change in national development, social reform, and humanitarian outreach.
The ceremony is expected to draw significant national attention, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh set to inaugurate the programme.
The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, will be present as the Chief Dignitary, alongside a wide range of guests from public life, the administration, academia, and the development sector.
The awards are rooted in the legacy of Veer Savarkar, whose influence on India's political and social thought continues to stir debate and reflection.
This platform seeks to recognise contemporary change-makers who embody principles of community empowerment, inclusive growth, and social justice, and to highlight efforts that strengthen the foundation of nation-building in rapidly evolving India.
HRDS INDIA, the organising body, has steadily built a reputation for its grassroots work with tribal and rural communities. Registered as a non-governmental organisation, it has focused on addressing structural inequality by expanding access to education, healthcare and livelihood opportunities in underserved regions.
Its interventions have reached remote tribal belts across states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Tripura, Assam and Jharkhand, where consistent efforts have helped improve school enrolment, maternal and child health services, skill development and women's participation in local economies.
Beyond recognition, the award ceremony serves as a platform for dialogue, enabling participants to exchange ideas on sustainable development, social equity, and grassroots governance. Organisers believe the gathering will create opportunities for collaboration among government agencies, civil society groups and community-based institutions.
As India navigates complex social and economic challenges, such initiatives aim to highlight the role of dedicated individuals and organisations working quietly at the frontline of change, reaffirming the importance of social responsibility and collective progress.
