Sanskriti Singh, daughter of Mritunjay Kumar and Kanchan Singh, is set to receive the prestigious National Social Icon Award 2024 by the YouthSocialGram Foundation, registered under NITI Aayog. Out of the countless talented individuals across the nation, only 15 will be honored with this award on September 1, 2024, and Sanskriti is among them. This recognition is a monumental achievement for her, highlighting her exceptional contributions to social work and her relentless dedication to making a difference.
A third-year student at Aditi Mahavidyalaya, University of Delhi, Sanskriti’s journey from the small village of Areraj (Baraitola) in East Champaran, Bihar, to being a nationally recognized social activist is nothing short of inspirational. In a region where opportunities, especially for women, are often limited, her accomplishments stand as a beacon of hope and motivation.
Sanskriti's work in women empowerment, child rights, and road safety has earned her this national recognition. As a National Service Scheme (NSS) officer, she has led several impactful initiatives, driving positive change and uplifting those in need. Her dedication to social causes is not just about activism; it’s about creating a lasting impact and inspiring others to join her mission.
In addition to her social work, Sanskriti is also a national-level debater and public speaker. Her ability to articulate complex issues with clarity and conviction has made her a respected figure in various platforms. Her voice, whether in debates or social forums, has been a powerful tool in advocating for the rights of the marginalized and in pushing for societal change.
This award is particularly significant for Sanskriti, given her roots in a small village where such achievements are rare. Her success is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with hard work, determination, and the support of a loving family. Her parents, Mritunjay Kumar and Kanchan Singh, have been her pillars of strength, nurturing her dreams and supporting her every step of the way.
Sanskriti reflects on her journey with pride and gratitude, stating, “This award is not just a personal achievement; it’s a testament to the power of dreams and the importance of perseverance. I hope my journey inspires others, especially young girls from small villages, to pursue their passions and make a difference.”
