Guwahati: The North East Media Forum (NEMF) and My Home India on Saturday announced the names of the winners of the prestigious 2nd Kalyan Barooah Awards-2024.

The winners have been selected under three different categories including print, electronic and digital media.

Barooah was associated with The Assam Tribune for more than 27 years. He always highlighted different issues of the northeast in general, and Assam in particular, at the national platform through his writings.

Recognising Barooah’s contributions to the development of the northeastern region, founder of “My Home India”, a social welfare organization, Sunil Deodhar announced in 2022 giving Kalyan Barooah Awards every year in coordination with North East Media Forum (NEMF).

The announcement of instituting the awards was made during the memorial meeting in 2022.

The 2nd Kalyan Barooah Awards have received several nominations from across the country following which the respected jury for the Awards decided to make three different categories including print, electronic, and digital media.

The five jury members, comprising senior journalists and eminent personalities, after a thorough review of the nominations have selected the following names as the winners for the 2nd Kalyan Barooah Awards-2024. The jury also announced the name of the winner for the Lifetime Achievement Award.
