The event was held at JW Marriott Hotel in Kolkata on December 5.

Skål International Kolkata 127 took an active part in nominating some of the key winners, especially from the tourism and hospitality service sectors as well.

On the occasion of 75 years of India's independence, 75 awards were given in various categories including Kolkata Municipal Corporation workers, hospitals, hospitality and service industry, vaccination drive organisers, entrepreneurs, entertainers who became mass awareness ambassadors, and various NGOs.
