Human Value Award (HUVA)

Human Value Award is an initiative started by us to honour school students who are able to effectively understand and appreciate the importance of Human Values in life. This is gauged by making them write an essay in a competitive environment. If one can clearly think about Values then he/she is most likely to practise it. The event was conducted in over 150 schools during the academic year 2014-15, across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Tamil Nadu. We received essays from approximately 3,500 students and gave the Human Value Award to about 450 students. We could reach these 150 schools across the country, thanks to stupendous support by multiple local level partners. We tied up with local NGOs / social workers in each of the above states to achieve the reach. We are in the process of rolling out the HUVA event in 12 prisons across Tamil Nadu. Mr. J.K. Tripathy (I. G., Prisons) readily agreed to have prisoners write / talk about an experience in their lives wherein they did something meaningful (that brings out a strong human value). We also intend to conduct the HUVA event in 300 schools in the academic year 2015-16.
