A new Samman to felicitate 'Manjhis': JSPL foundation
HT Media Ltd., one of India's largest media companies, found its beginning in 1924 when its flagship newspaper, Hindustan Times.
- (1888PressRelease) October 21, 2015 - Dashrath Manjhi, also known as 'Mountain Man', was a poor labourer in a village near Gaya in Bihar, who carved a path through a hillock using only a hammer and chisel after 22 years of work.
Today, Dashrath is not amongst us, but his story lives on. He is just one known example for sheer courage and determination. However, there are scores of Dashrath Manjhis in India who have made a mark for themselves in their villages and mofussil towns. And their stories are yet untold.
While talking to media persons here on Saturday, Executive vice-president, Head- CSR & Education Col Prakash Tewari said it is people like Manjhi that JSPL Foundation that spearheads the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), wants to highlight and recognise through a unique national initiative titled Rashtriya Swayamsiddh Samman that it has instituted from this year onwards.
The Samman will felicitate people from the grassroot level for their exemplary courage, commitment and confidence that has enabled them to overcome adversities and create a unique identity of their own, making them a source of inspiration for many in India. They would become ambassadors of change who will fan out in other parts of the country to work for the upliftment of the underprivileged and guide others through their experience and hardship to achieve their dreams.
