BISWA’s module of Micro Finance Inclusive of Micro savings and credit, Micro Enterprise, Micro Insurance and Social Development and an integrated sustainability trait of a Self Help Federation, have finally received its due acclaim. The award ceremony was held at The Sheraton Hotel, New Delhi on 5th March 2008. Mr. P. Chidambaram, Union Minister for Finance and Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, CEO-Infosys Inc. Ltd. Were the Chief Guests for the occasion who gave the Awards to the NGO representation.
India NGO Awards are constituted by the Nand and Jeet Khemka Foundation and Resource Alliance to celebration success and reward excellence in Development sector.2008, the second year of India NGO Awards received an overwhelming 131 entries from across India for the prestigious Awards. The selection procedure at three stages included a personalized field based evaluation.
It is needless to assert that encouragement in shape of recognition is an essential ingredient for growth of any organization, this void for recognition is thus filled by large organization, foundation or trust. BISWA has earned such recognition from Nand and Jeet Khemka Foundation and was given India NGO Award, 2007 in the large NGO category, which is very encouraging of course. It is not the maiden award for BISWA, as it has earned many national and international awards earlier. But this one seems very prestigious for the organization as it included recognition from Government of India. This Finance Minister of India has handed over this award to BISWA in a ceremonial function at New Delhi.
