The desire to excel is what separates outstanding achievers from the rest of the lot. Everybody has their own reasons to strive to be the best or to make a difference in the world. Some may do it silently, some may be vocal about it to garner the support of the masses. Whatever the reason, what makes these people stand out is their achievements.

And it is the desire to highlight such achievements that gave birth to the concept of the ‘UP WORDS ACHIEVERS AWARD’.

“I’m sure our nominees and winners don’t really need awards to tell them they’re doing a fantastic job, but we find that as a society, it is part of our duty to recognise those who go a step further. All our nominees are winners as they have put the welfare of the community before self and have not been motivated by personal ambition but by their abiding love and concern for the community.”

- Abhijit Ganguly, CEO of UP WORDS magazine
