Plan India Impact Awards 2025: Celebrating Last Mile Champions

Now in its 8th edition, the Plan India Impact Awards recognise frontline catalysts whose commitment and service are placing children, especially girls, at the heart of stronger and more resilient communities. These champions of change, often unseen and unheard, are driving progress in education, health, gender equality, child protection, climate action and more.

The 2025 Awards go beyond recognition to provide winners with dedicated grant support. This will help them scale their initiatives, turn their vision into measurable change, and create lasting impact in the underprivileged and vulnerable communities they serve. Each year we honour their achievements and reaffirm our commitment to building a just, equitable and sustainable future where every child can thrive.
