Theme for KCK award - 2011 "Changemakers"
"Change is inevitable in any progressive society and a reflection of tireless and selfless efforts of the Changemakers. There are people and organizations whose individual and collective endeavors have been instrumental in bringing paradigm shifts and change in practices in different fields of human activities. Big changes led by lateral thinkers improve common understanding, create systems for replicating the ideas, lessen human suffering, help build better societies and leave indelible impact. Its been a challenge for the Changemakers to sustain against all odds and simultaneously establish strength of their ideas and inspire the world to emulate. If their efforts translate into policy change or attempt total shift in processes or impact larger groups of societies they would be talked about, debated or appreciated. Media has the onus to bring to the fore the efforts/ concepts/ journeys of the Changemakers who have contributed / have been contributing significantly to the society. Media stories can catch the waves of change, identify the Changemakers, investigate the claims and measure impact from journalistic yardsticks. Caution should also be observed in finding right people, speaking for genuine people and genuine efforts having larger canvas and broader vision."
