The 'IBN7 Bajaj Allianz Super Idols' is a first of its kind initiative by any media organization in the country to pay tribute to the triumph of the human spirit over physical challenges and constraints, in achieving greatness.
These are life transforming stories of people with disabilities who never bowed down to their circumstances or gave up hope but walked on fighting, against all odds, with sheer grit and will power as their weapons, and eventually emerging victorious.
'IBN7 Bajaj Allianz Super Idols' are people who lead and inspire by example and make us better human beings, as we learn to view life in an appreciative paradigm and awaken the spirit of self belief in us.
The IBN7 editorial team, through its extensive reporter network in the country, has identified 20 'Super Idols' whose work can be classified under one of the following eight categories: Sports; Business and Employment; Rehabilitation; Entertainment; Education; National Service; Idol Makers (in Disabled and Not Disabled category) and Lifetime Achievement. Thus, the awards will not just honour the differently abled achievers, but will also recognize and laud the efforts of those individuals who have been working with the differently abled to ensure equal rights and opportunities for them as well as enable their integration into the mainstream.
These 'IBN7 Bajaj Allianz Super Idols' will be honoured by IBN7 in an awards ceremony in Mumbai on January 19, 2010.
