That will only happen when the mindsets change and media can help change mindsets through its reporting and campaigns.”

A. L. Sharada

According to Dr. A. L. Sharada, Director, Population First, “The Laadli prove Media Awards that even in the worst situations and cynical times there is hope.

They are role models for many aspiring journalists and media persons. We honor them with pride.”

We are therefore delighted to support the 10th edition of the Laadli Awards for gender sensitivity.”
