I AM STRONGEST AWARD – 2021

2021 was a year that continued the trials and tribulations caused by the pandemic. However, among the loss of lives, jobs and livelihoods, there were many untold stories shining stars of kindness. 
 

I AM STRONGEST AWARDS 2021 recognized 4 of these kind hearts who provided food to the helpless population that was grappling with the effects of the second wave and its social, psychological and economic fallouts. 

1. Mr. Muthupandi, Thoothukudi – Fruit vendor offered free bananas to feed hungry. 
2. Mr. Chandrasekhar and Mrs. Pushparani, Trichy – Family in Trichy sold ‘variety rice’ for ₹5 to help workers, students, etc. 
3. Mr. Arun Kumar, No Food Waste, Chennai Chapter, Chennai – They collected surplus food and redistributed it to the needy. 
4. Mr. Kalyanasundaram, Chennai – A street food seller in Chennai provided free food during lockdown. 

SharonPly chose them based on information that is in the public domain. It is quite possible that there were many others like them that didn’t come to our attention. It is the sincere wish of SharonPly that this gesture will trigger a trend among other Corporates to recognize the heroes of the pandemic and reward their selfless/priceless services. 

As a matter of abundant caution to avoid large gatherings, this year again the Award function was online on 07th March 2022. Mr. Vishnu Khemani, Managing Director of SharonPly gave away the Award Plaque and a cheque of INR 51,000 each virtually.
