Forty-one ‘giants’ from various professions were conferred the Giants International annual award that was presented at a glittering function at Trident Hotel on Tuesday.

Among media professionals, the Dainik Bhaskar Group was given the award for its contribution to the society.

A few other persons who bagged the award were Anand Mahindra in the field of business and industry, Prof. Dr James Thomas for his works in the field of medicine, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for films, Bachubhai (Laxmichand) Rambhia for social service, Dr Ajoy Kumar in public life and Sonu Nigam in the field of music. The Giants International is India’s first international social service organisation which was founded in 1972 by Padmashree Nana Chudasama. The purpose of the organisation is to serve humanity.

Chief guest at the event, Mukesh Ambani, said, “It is important that more and more people contribute to the society. While doing so, it is important that challenges are seen as opportunities and not problems.” Speaking after receiving the award, Ramesh Chandra Agarwal emphasised on India’s potential to become a leader. He said: “It is seen that Indian minds are behind the success of places or countries that are credited with computer technology or other achievements.

Abroad, a lot of work is carried out by Indians and a lot of things are dependent on Indians. We can make India a prosperous place as it has every capability.
Indians are running countries elsewhere and if we want, we can achieve all that we wish to and a day will come when we will be the (world) leader.””India is a growing nation and if one has to see the growth, it should be seen in smaller cities. In the field of media, there has been a great growth.”
