Namma Bengaluru Awards 2010 up for grabs
The key aspect of the award being that anybody can nominate their heroes, be it students, residents and even welfare associations. While students can nominate their teachers; college students their professors; residents their welfare associations, citizens their local Police constable or Police Inspector.
The awards are a testimony to the spirit of the selfless Bengalurean who wants to make a positive impact in the society. Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde shared the ethos and said “The whole purpose of these Awards is to search for the right person, doing the right work and reward them. It is the gravity of the nominees contribution that is important"
The eminent jury panel consists of 22 names that have carved a niche for themselves in their respective fields and believe in social responsibility. The names include Justice Santosh Hegde (Lokayukta), Ramesh Aravind (Film Actor), K Jairaj, (Addl Chief Sect- Karnataka Govt), Anil Kumble (President – KSCA) along with other local legends.
'Single
nomination
can
make
or
break'
The
interesting
fact
that
makes
the
Namma
Bengaluru
Awards
different
is
that
winners
are
chosen
on
the
quality
of
the
extra
ordinary
contributions
and
not
on
the
number
of
nominations
the
person
or
organization
receives.
This
means,
a
single
nomination
form
by
any
citizen
can
help
their
nominee
win
the
award.
