About Our Organization

Welcome to Bharat Gourav Samman Award

Dedicated to India's Unsung Heroes

Founder & Chairperson:

Shri Praveen Singh (ESO India Foundation)

Drawing inspiration from the “Make in India” initiative, SHRI PRAVEEN SINGH conceived the idea of the “Confluence,” an initiative aiming to bridge the gap between art, artisans, and the general public. At the core of this concept, thrives the desire to create something meaningful and accessible, making art more approachable for everyone. Aligning with the ethos of “Make in India,” the Confluence initiative also seeks to preserve and celebrate India’s rich heritage in art and culture, known since ancient times among our local communities. This endeavour not only seeks to encourage industries to establish manufacturing bases in India but also generate employment opportunities while fostering the growth of supportive ecosystems that empower small businesses.

Our mission is to bring art to the masses, illuminating its beauty and providing artisans with the means to sustain their livelihoods. PRAVEEN SINGH , as a social entrepreneur, is deeply driven by her vision and fully committed to realizing this dream. Refusing to let even the slightest opportunity slip away, PRAVEEN SINGH  wholeheartedly immerses herself in the journey of improving lives through the expression of their unique skills.

About Us

The ESO INDIA FOUNDATION instituted the BHARAT GAURAV SAMMAN AWARD and the Lifetime Achievement Awards in the year 2011 with a view of giving recognition and motivation to the unsung heroes across the country who are working hard for the betterment of the lives of the underprivileged. The awards are conferred by leading lights of the Indian Government every year on a grand stage in JABALPUR at a NATIONAL YOUTH FESTIVAL . The attempt is to motivate the awardees to redouble their efforts in the service of the country, and also, by example, encourage millions of others to emulate them and do their bit to build a New India of our dreams. The ESO INDIA FOUNDATION confers 2400+ BHARAT GAURAV SAMMAN AWARD and 104 Lifetime Achievement Awards every year. Over the years, our effort has received tremendous response from not just ordinary Indians, but also from the political leadership and administrative leadership of the country at the highest levels. One can imagine how motivating it would be for a hitherto unrecognized achiever to receive such recognition at the hands of such a high dignitary. We are happy that Union Ministers, Members of Parliament, IAS officers, IPS officers, Governors, Chief Ministers, leading businesspersons, personalities from the media etc. are associated with the ESO INDIA FOUNDATION and are driving this mission to build a New India. The selection of awardees every year is done by the eminent Selection Committee put in place by the ESO INDIA FOUNDATION. No recommendation is accepted. All nominations must be accompanied by the Selection Committee while deciding the award. The BHARAT GAURAV SAMMAN AWARD are the prestigious civilian honour in the country.

OUR OBJECTIVES ESO INDIA FOUNDATION

The ESO INDIA FOUNDATION works towards various social welfare causes across the country. The foundation hosts an annual award ceremony with an intent to identify and recognize the unsung heroes from the country who are deprived of their genuine honour, while encouraging the upcoming generation of the country by continuous execution of such work at mass level. ESO INDIA FOUNDATION have special respect for people working towards nation building. We salute those talents who have devoted their whole life to the country, the brave soldiers who are defending us in adverse conditions on the borders of the country to protect us, so that we can sleep safely at the comfort of our homes. We always recognize those who sacrificed their comfortable lifestyle for the service of the nation. We show our gratitude and respect for social platforms so that our young generation can be guided and that young energetic youth are encouraged to work for the service of the nation. The person working for the service of the country is the most significant participant for our organization when it comes to recognizing the contribution of the individual.

ESO INDIA FOUNDATION is continuously working to promote the country’s talent. Today, most of the people of the country are busy moving ahead with the resources of wealth and power, due to which they are not able to contribute to the society. Our efforts are to create an interest in service for others among the youth of the country and in service of our motherland. If every successful person helps a young person to move forward in his life, then a new energy will be generated in our society. It should be our moral responsibility to pass on that energy to the next person who will work for the betterment of our society and country.

The main goal of ESO INDIA FOUNDATION is to give talent an opportunity, recognition and respect in the country, which they deserve! While working in this campaign, we are continuously increasing the number of associates and supporters! Together we form an ethical way to create value for the entire society. We are working in a special campaign to create a world-class platform distinct from all the forums and our efforts are proving to be effective! We want to ignite social responsibility, activism and accountability in the hearts of all our countrymen and women.

ESO INDIA FOUNDATION is registered with the NITI Aayog, Government of India. The Foundation has been awarded the ISO 9001 – 2015 certification. The very stringent process for selection of the awardees by the eminent selection committee ensures that only those with milestone achievements are conferred the rare honour of being a Bharat Gaurav samman awardee.

The Bharat Gaurav samman Award family has a strong bonding and each member of this family gives strength to each other. Being a Bharat Gaurav Samman Awardsee, thus, provides tremendous impetus to the efforts of individual members for making a difference in their communities and in building a New India of our dreams. The Bharat Gaurav samman Award is recognized by those who matter across the country and this award facilitates the implementation of mega social projects.

Bharat Gaurav samman  Award confers on the basis of one’s contribution towards the service of others and our country. There should be a sense of service and respect in the work being done by the person nominated for the awards as this award inspires people to combat and surmount the challenges faced by the country. The Bharat Gaurav samman Award, by example, encourages the spirit of responsibility among the youth.

Objectives of the Foundation

ESO INDIA FOUNDATION seeks to identify the talent across the country which has not been recognized or honored. This serves to encourage the awardees to amplify their contributing efforts as well. There are many individuals and organizations who are working tirelessly to enable development for those around them and beyond, yet the spotlight of the media and the government does not fall on them. Their work has the potential to inspire a large number of people to do similar work in their own communities, which is why it is essential that these true heroes must be recognized, honored and thus encouraged. The objective of the ESO INDIA FOUNDATION in conferring the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Awards is two-fold.

Inspiring the Youth

Wide publicity of the good work done by the individuals and organizations encourages the youth across the country to emulate their example and to start believing that they can make a difference in the community and the nation by the sheer dint of their hard work, determination and value orientation. The awards serve to dispel the feeling of helplessness and lethargy and replace it with a sense of optimism and positive energy to work hard and create a New India. Each Bharat Gaurav Samman Awardsee in themselves is the reflection of the leaders of New India. The challenges and barriers these leaders faced in the course of doing their path breaking work and how they have navigated through and overcame those difficult times, is brought out by the Foundation. This serves to enthuse more people to step forward and face the challenges only to emerge stronger and victorious.

Recognizing Unsung Talent

The attempt is to recognize the work done by individuals and organizations to make a difference in the communities around them. This serves to encourage the awardees to redouble their efforts. The recipients of the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards are personalities of national pride and are Legends in their chosen fields.

They are value driven leaders who have done tremendous work for the welfare and uplift of their communities. This is why we are proud of them and feel great pleasure in welcoming them all to the growing Bharat Gaurav Samman Award family. We shall together move mountains to create a New India of our dreams. Blessed are we to have these Awardees with us, for, not just do they inspire us with their work, they also inspire millions of youth to come forward and shape their and our nation’s destiny with the thrust of their committed and honest work.

Saluting Heroes

Social heroes, leaders or public servants; anyone committedly contributing and successfully working towards nation building who believes that they deserve the recognition and appreciation, can be nominated for an award. All applications are reviewed by the Bharat Gaurav samman Award Committee which makes the final decision in selecting the award winners. The award committee is independent and does not compromise in selecting the very best and most deserving people. The award committee selects talent with balanced assessment of all the applicants. The committee has great vision and years of experience to understand talent.

Chandrasekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Bhagat Singh and many others sacrificed their lives and today all of us are in a free country because of them. The Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards are dedicated to such heroes of the country in this campaign to honor the glory of Bharat, we have been working for the past several years and are also getting the support of the Govt. of India. On the platform of Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards every year, Union Ministers honor the talents of the country.

ESO INDIA FOUNDATION is moving forward with the vision of New India. Our objective is to create an interest in nation building activities among the youth of the country as we are responsible for the development of our Motherland.

We always recognize those who gave up the comfort of wealth and luxury for serving the Motherland. We show our gratitude and respect towards social platforms that act as mentors and guide our young energetic youth to work for and serve the nation. For the Foundation, the people working for the betterment and development of the country are the most significant personalities to be emulated, especially when it comes to recognizing their contribution.

HISTORY

Our land is full of stellar leaders, good doers, and exemplary individuals doing incredible work and creating impact in every direction they voyage to, yet seldom are their examples put forward to the world to take inspiration from. With the vision to give these leaders the appreciation they deserve and set them as impeccable examples for the world to seek inspiration and hence, the idea of Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards was en-seeded. The first ever award ceremony for the prestigious Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards was held in the heart of INDIA , at MANAS BHAWAN JABALPUR, M.P.

With an array of sterling guests, leaders from across the nation and continent, representing 21 states and 2 countries made it to the award night. Unsurprisingly, the award ceremony made it to the headlines across media houses in India. That was the day when we decided to march forward with much more passion and gusto.

The second award ceremony in the year 2012, with the growing esteem and prestige associated with the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards, the foundation every year a small group of rigorously selected leaders who are politicians, business heads, celebrities or, social leaders, who deserved to be recognised has been awarded with the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards. During the 2011 award ceremony, Our General Secretary, Dr. Sandesh Yadav, took an oath on behalf of the foundation to ensure the deserved respect for the awardees and announced that thereafter, only a recipient of this award will be eligible to join the Executive Team of the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards Committee.

Today, the Committee’s President is a recipient of the Bharat Gaurav Samman Awards while the Chairman received Lifetime Achievement Award and all the other members have been honoured in some year or the other. Today many of our alumni awardees have been recognised by state sponsored Padma awards. With moving time, more and more people are joining hands with us and making the mission of the foundation stronger.
