The qualified entries were then assessed by an esteemed jury panel, which shortlisted the most impactful and innovative initiatives. These shortlisted projects subsequently underwent detailed on-ground verification to validate their outcomes and authenticity. Based on the combined insights of the jury review and field evaluations, the final awardees were selected through a transparent and merit-driven process to embody the spirit of Doing Good for Bharat.
