Looking Back


The Sansad Ratna Awards has come a long way from its first edition held in May 2010 in a modest function at the Thakkar Bapa Vidyalaya, Chennai before a limited audience, through the past years in the prestigious premises of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) to the latest edition to be held in the premises of Raj Bhavan, Chennai.


It has braved several challenges over the years, especially lack of visibility and publicity and today, it stands recognised and appreciated for its credibility and positive focus of recognising outstanding performers among our country’s lawmakers and keepers.

The Sansad Ratna Awards is an initiative of Prime Point Foundation and eMagazine, PreSense, motivated by the suggestion of late Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India, who himself launched the first event via a tele-conference. 

This is the only award presented to top performing Parliamentarians in India on behalf of the ‘civil society’.

Entry to the function is only by invitation due to space constraints. However, the entire programme is being webcast live on that day from www.sansadratna.in
