Employment > Awards > F.I.C.C.I. Awards

Every year millions of Indians benefit from the efforts of many companies who would like to make a difference. Organisations that believe their performance is important not only financially but also in the social and environmental areas. The F.I.C.C.I. Award celebrates the spirit of such companies and organisations.

The F.I.C.C.I. Awards were instituted in 1967, to promote individual, corporate and institutional initiative in economic, social and scientific areas. Over the years, the Executive Committee of the Federation has made appropriate amendments to the Awards, to take into account changes in society.

Companies and organisations that are recognised are those that work voluntarily towards the development of society (scope of work could be in areas like environmental preservation, education, literacy, family welfare, promotion of arts, crafts and culture, rural development, community development, empowerment of vulnerable groups including women, children and disabled persons).

The award for empowerment of physically disabled people is given in recognition of their services in following areas:

• Providing training and rehabilitation for disabled people
• Suggesting workable schemes which assist disabled people
• Placement/employment of disabled people
• Providing technical and vocational training/education for disabled people
