The star attraction of the evening was film actor Randeep Hooda, known for his commitment to nature and wildlife conservation. He not only presented an award but also participated in a panel discussion on Influencing Sustainability. Lauding Forest officers for working for conservation of flora and fauna diversity of the country, he also lauded Indian Masterminds, a digital platform dedicated to showcasing excellence in bureaucracy,  for the pathbreaking initiative of honoring IFS officers.

The Eco-Warriors Awards and National Conclave brought together the nation’s most passionate environmentalists, conservationists, and Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers for a night of celebration and inspiration. The audience was treated with a breath-taking wildlife photography exhibition by renowned wildlife photographer and documentary filmmaker, Mohd Aslam Warisi, whose internationally acclaimed work captivated the audience.

The Honourable Union Minister for Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, Shri Bhupender Yadav, had been scheduled to join the event that day. However, due to an urgent cabinet meeting called by the Prime Minister, he was unable to attend in person. Instead, he had sent a special video message to inspire and encourage the dedicated forest officers in attendance, which was then played for the audience.

The event also featured a moving tribute to Forest Martyrs’ Day, honoring the sacrifices made by foresters and wildlife conservationists. The AV presentation left the audience with a deep sense of gratitude for the bravery of these eco-warriors. Those gracing the occasion were Member Central Empowered Committee Mr CP Goyal, Director General of International Big Cat Alliance Dr SP Yadav, President of IFS Association Dr Sushil Kumar Awasthi, and General Secretary Mr Suneesh Buxy.

Indian Masterminds Editor Sharad Gupta, delivering the welcome address, vowed to make these awards an annual feature with increasing grandeur every passing year. This is the only award in the country for the silent eco-warriors, the IFS Community.

The event concluded with a stirring call to action for a greener future, reminding attendees that the fight for sustainability is far from over. With potted plants as parting gifts and the inspiring words of eco-warriors echoing in their minds, the audience left with a renewed commitment to environmental conservation.
