The selection
process
A jury of eminent persons, from different walks of life,
will evaluate the short-listed entries. The most important yardstick for
selection is obviously the actual achievement. However, the jury also considers
what it took to achieve the goal, the applicant’s commitment to his or her field
of endeavor and evidence of a continual pursuit of
excellence.
Short-listed applicants will be invited to attend a personal
interview with some or all jury members in Bangalore, at which they will be
required to make a short presentation about their achievements. The jury will
make its final recommendations based on this personal interview. Results will be
announced at an Awards Ceremony conducted in Bangalore.Last date for receipt of
