Simply Suparnaa ? Media Network, a UN Women Awardee, began accepting nominations for its annual ????? SABERA : Social and Business Enterprise Responsible Awards, which recognize Business action and leaders that champion Social Impact. With the larger objective to amplify?GOOD?in society, the platform has diverse stakeholders and is actively supported by industry stalwarts from large multinationals, changemakers, and policy influencers alike.?SABERA?is apolitical & non-religious in nature and is not tied to any one majority interest or funder, which allows it to set a truly independent Awards process. The majority of the funding comes from entry fees and sponsorship.
?“A task of highlighting GOOD when the trend is to cash in on sensationalism is a challenge that we at SABERA have taken head-on.,” said Suparnaa Chadda, Founder Curator, ????? SABERA.?
“To my mind what SABERA has been trying to do is not very different from what the Prime Minister has done by making the Padma awards people-centric.” Dr Bibek Debroy, Chairperson of the Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been a supporter of ????? SABERA since its inception in 2018.
?“Exposure to development work leaves a lasting impact on the subconscious mind and encourages individuals to work towards the larger good of society. Especially for the youth, such exposure can help lead a more fulfilling life beyond material pursuits.” Dr Prakash Amte ?(Keynote 2021 along with Dr Mandakini Amte).
