The Maharashtra government on Friday said that the newly-announced Rajiv Gandhi Information Technology Award will be given to IT companies in the state in five different categories. Maharashtra Minister of State for IT Satej Patil made the announcement.
The aim of the award is to recognise the contribution of IT companies in the prospects of the state as well as to encourage the entrepreneurs and startups.
The award will be given in five categories in the information technology sector – IT Engineering Service Software, IT Enabled Service (BPO/KPO), IT (Data Centre), Most Promising Start-Up and Special Award for Contribution to Maharashtra,” he added.
The award comprises a memento and a citation. There will be no cash prize in the award as these companies already have huge revenues, but it is aimed at recognising their contribution to Society and state, he said.
