Two award categories—Urban NGO Solutions and Rural NGO Solutions—will honour impactful initiatives operating in diverse contexts. Selected organisations will be recognised at the National Conclave on Nutrition & Climate Goals 2026 at IIT Delhi. Each category winner will receive financial support along with mentorship to strengthen programme scale, sustainability, and long-term impact in nutrition ecosystems.
