JAMMU, Dec 21: Humanitarian Excellence Awards 2020 were given away to fifty one Indians from different fields of social service through virtual mode. These awards were given away to 20 females, 20 males and 11 organizations throughout India.

The Awards were given away by the Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) Pradeep Tamta. The citation of the ‘I Can Foundation’, the award hosting organization reads:”Dr Darakhshan Andrabi is being awarded for her continuous public service and social outreach initiatives for different marginalized sections of society and people in distressed conditions in the violence-hit J&K without any discretion of cast, creed, religion, region and area.
