MUMBAI: India TV has announced the second edition of the ‘Salaam India Awards’ to felicitate uncommon acts of bravery exemplified by common Indians.

‘Salaam India Awards 2014’ will be conferred across four categories—Bravery Awards, Gallantry Awards, Jyoti Singh Awards and Special Awards.

The channel has constituted the awards last year. This year’s jury for the awards includes India TV chairman and editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma, former India CEC Dr SY Quraishi, former army chief General (Retd) Deepak Kapoor, ace shooter Col (Retd) Rajyavardhan S Rathore and retired IPS officer Dr Kiran Bedi.

In line with the guiding principle for the awards, the chosen honourees are those who are not intrinsically fearless but who could selflessly win over their fears to safeguard someone else’s interest while risking or even sacrificing their own lives in the hour of need.

India TV MD & CEO Ritu Dhawan said, “We are glad that we are again getting a chance to felicitate our real heroes who simply inspire us all by their actions demonstrating selflessness and fearlessness, also the most important traits of a news source.”

“As a leader in the Hindi news genre, it is certainly a matter of both pleasure and contentment for us to felicitate those who are not only our role models but also who bring a positive balance to humanity, our society and nation,” she added.
The bravehearts will be honoured at the award gala on Sunday, 21 September at Hotel Taj, New Delhi.

The channel has once again roped in Officer’s Choice as the presenting sponsor of the initiative, with Amrapali Group joining as the associate sponsor.

Dainik Bhaskar and Pioneer Publicity are the media partners for the initiative.

The event will be managed by Showtime Events.
