They conducted a six-month series of essay writing, talks, debates, and discussions across various cities in India, focusing on the Model G20 and its Seven Themes. This initiative reflects India’s dedication to nurturing innovation and excellence among young leaders who are diligently working to tackle global challenges. Shri Amitabh Kant, the G20 Sherpa of India, is the driving force behind this event. Approximately one hundred thousand talented youth registered for the competition, and after two rounds, four thousand participants were selected for the next stage. Ultimately, only 21 candidates advanced to the semifinals, with seven candidates receiving awards, one from each theme. Dr. Sumirini is among the seven G20 Awardees, having won the award for the theme of ‘Sustainable Development.’ According to the RTI-2005 act, she was the top candidate among all seven winners.
