Former Vice-President Hamid Ansari gave the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament, and Development of 2021 to Pratham. Pratham is an NGO functioning in the field of education. The award is in honor of Pratham’s work in providing quality education for Indian children, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.



Mr. Ansari said Pratham also used digital technology to provide education so the children could learn during the school closure amid the covid 19 pandemic.



In her acceptance speech, Rukmini Banerji, Pratham CEO, said the NGO believed in community and family participation in a child's growth. Many of the things we have discovered are learned from children and the community on the ground.



In her address, the Chairperson of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust and former Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, said Indira Gandhi left an unforgettable imprint on the nation. She continues to be praised and admired for her multiple achievements. She also mentioned her contribution to the country's progress.



Sonia Gandhi said Pratham was a remarkable organisation that had, in less than 30 years, made a reputation for itself in the field of education, not only in India but also globally. It has accomplished much in making school education more meaningful and impactful, first for the students themselves. It has carried new reflection not only in pedagogy but also in monitoring and evaluating as an aid to enhance learning outcomes. The reports and analysis have impacted the public discourse on both primary and secondary education in different states, where its engagement has delivered a very productive example of public-private collaborations.
