READS Receives India Pride Award 2025 for Outstanding Work in Agriculture and Horticulture

READS has earned a proud moment of national recognition. The organisation was honoured with the India Pride Award 2025 (Season 5), presented by Dainik Bhaskar, for its remarkable work in agriculture and horticulture. The award was handed over by Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The honour was received by Rajesh Gupta, President of READS, for the organisation’s ongoing efforts in strengthening farming practices, supporting local communities, and bringing meaningful changes to the lives of farmers in Jashpur.

The certificate highlights READS’ consistent contribution, commitment and the impact it has created on the ground. It recognises the journey of an organisation that continues to inspire, empower and raise the standard for community-based agricultural development.

For READS, this award is more than a trophy. It’s a reminder that steady, sincere work at the grassroots level does get noticed, and it encourages the team to keep pushing forward with even more energy and purpose.
