As part of the Women of Worth campaign, NDTV will be presenting the first edition of Women of Worth Awards. These awards aim to recognise efforts being made to bridge not only the gender gap but also regional, sectoral, developmental, linguistic and social imbalances.
Here are the categories for Women of Worth awards:
