Anudip receives landmark award

On Feburary 14, 2012, Anudip Foundation received the prestigious NASSCOM Social Innovation Honors award for 2012 from Kapil Sibal, India's Union Minister for IT, HR and Telecom before a audience of 2000+ of the cream of the country's IT industry at the NASSCOM Leadership Forum in Mumbai.

The award is in recognition of the dedicated work in very difficult environments that Anudip faculty and project staff perform every day to empower impoverished rural youth for livelihoods in India's IT-based growth sector.
