The objective of the NCPEDP Helen Keller Awards was to start a discourse on equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in the area of employment at a time when no one was even thinking about it.
Organisations and employees with disabilities would become brand ambassadors for the cause of employment of persons with disabilities and take the momentum forward and role models would be identified and celebrated in an attempt to motivate and encourage others.
Over the years, these Awards have come to be recognised as the most prestigious Indian benchmark for honouring people and organisations which have been working towards promoting employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The Awards are given under 3 categories:
Category A: Role Model Disabled Person.
Disabled persons from within the disability sector and outside who have been active as ambassadors of the cause of employment for disabled people and are a positive role model for others.
Category B: Role Model Supporter of Increased Employment Opportunities for Disabled People.
Individuals from within the disability sector or outside who have contributed substantially to the cause of promoting employment opportunities for disabled people over an extended period of time.
Category C: Role Model Companies/NGOs/Institutions.
Organisations from the disability sector or outside who have shown their commitment towards promoting equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
