Dear All,

<\/span>Greetings for the New Year 2010, from India Urban Space Foundation!!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Social entrepreneurs are taking on new challenges in leading path-breaking social innovations. As a befitting tribute to the spirit of such leadership, India Urban Space Foundation launches \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcInnovations in Services for Urban Poor Awards Program\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span>.

\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nSustainability; Linkage with mandate of civic agencies; and Integrating individual and community interest \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are the three cornerstones of innovation; around which our eminent Jury panel will evaluate the nominations.<\/p>\n

Apart from national recognition, the Awardees will receive a citation and a handsome cash reward. <\/span>The program will also open new doors to the awardees \u00e2\u20ac\u201c linkages with funders, financial institutions and venture funds; opportunities to impact policies and large urban programs; linkages with market players for upstream \/ downstream activities; access to panel of expert mentors; et al.<\/p>\n
