Awardees will receive a cash prize, a citation, and a trophy – a symbol of honour for their perseverance and contributions. Reaffirming the significance of the initiative, the organisers highlighted that the awards not only applaud personal triumphs but also aim to change societal perspectives on disability, encouraging inclusivity and empowerment at every level.
