Requesting your suggestions .....

Dear Fellow Cove member,

I do not know if this is the right forum to seek your help and suggestions. I felt that I should ask the highly knowledgeable members of the Cove Forums to help someone looking for help and recognition.

I have written a blog in the Elsmar Cove forums titled "Inspiration......" about an NGO (www.amarseva.org) headed by a disabled person, run by disabled persons for disabled persons. The name of the NGO is Amarseva Sangam. The question I have is: "Do you have any suggestion where we can nominate this NGO or the President (Mr. Ramakrishnan) or the Secretary (Mr. Sankararaman) of the organization (Amarseva Sangam) for public recognition?". I had nominted Mr S. Ramakrishnan, President of Amarseva Sangam for the CNN Hero award last year and he was one of the short listed Heros for the final award. I tried to nominate him for the Magsaysay Award...with no result. If you are aware of any such local, regional or global award for recognizing self-less service to society, especially the disadvantaged, please let me know; or if you would like to nominate please do so.

None of the above is related to me; the organization is not connected to me anyway.


Thank you for your suggestions.

With best regards,

Ramakrishnan

Do you want suggestions and/or comments in this thread or in your blog?

I would like to receive suggestions for nomination. Like CNN Hero, there may be many awards and recognitions available all over the world for such self-less social service. Those who are aware of such awards/recognitions may share their knowledge or information on these. I would like to get the suggestions in this thread. Thanks.

With kind regards,

Ramakrishnan

The American Society for Quality (which is becoming active in India) offers several venues for recognition. One of the most recent is Quality for Life:
