New Delhi: The nation's leading digital media organization, Dynamite News is organizing a grand celebration to mark its 10th Foundation Day. The event will be held at the Constitutional Club of India, where the 'Young India Country Awards 2025' will be launched, honoring young people who are shaping the country's bright future.

Five young talents from different regions of the country will be selected for this award. Four highly respected and experienced personalities will serve as the jury for the selection process. The jury includes:

  • Justice Ranjana Desai – Chairperson, Press Council of India and former Judge, Supreme Court
  • Mr Sanjay Kothari – Former Chief Vigilance Commissioner and Former Secretary to the President of India (IAS – 1978 Batch)
  • Dr Chinmay Pandya – Pro-Vice Chancellor, Dev Sanskriti University, Haridwar and Volunteer, Akhil Vishwa Gayatri Pariwar
  • Dr MC Mishra – Renowned Medical Specialist and Former Director, AIIMS, New Delhi

On this special occasion, we would like to share some facts about Mr Sanjay Kothari, who took time out from his busy schedule and played a key role in selecting the winners of the 'Young India Country Awards 2025'.

Sanjay Kothari, a retired IAS officer of the 1978 batch of the Haryana cadre, is a trusted and influential name in the country's administrative system. He held several important positions, including his service as the Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) and Secretary to the President of India.

Sanjay Kothari's Contribution to Democracy and Administration

Sanjay Kothari is particularly recognized for his administrative reforms and anti-corruption work. After the Narendra Modi government came to power in 2014, he impressed the Prime Minister with his prudence and honesty at meetings with officials. Subsequently, he was appointed Secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

The most significant reform during his tenure was the introduction of the "self-attestation" system. Previously, those appearing for competitive examinations had to obtain attestation from officials, a lengthy and tedious process. His initiative simplified and simplified this process, providing relief to thousands of young students.

Known For His Strict Administration In Haryana

Sanjay Kothari was also known as a strict and fair officer in Haryana. Wherever he served as SDM or Collector, he strictly curbed illegal activities. His administrative experience and integrity place him among the most capable officers in the country.

Dynamite News Initiative And Honor For Young India

The objective of the 'Young India Country Awards 2025' is to honor and inspire the country's youth for their outstanding work. Through this program, Dynamite News aims to convey the message that the future of the country lies in the hands of the youth and they deserve due recognition.

The distinguished jury members of this important event, including Sanjay Kothari, Justice Ranjana Desai, Dr Chinmay Pandya, and Dr MC Mishra, will play their roles ably in recognizing the country's young stars.

This event will be a proud moment not only for Dynamite News but for the entire country, where young talent will be honored and a new direction will be given to India's bright future.
