NWMI member Rupsa Chakraborty received first prize at the Statesman Rural Reporting Awards, 2022, for her reports on the conditions of adivasis in Nandurbar district in Maharashtra, displaced by the Sardar Sarovar Dam project.
In her four-part series ‘Nandurbar: Lapses in Health Infrastructure’, Rupsa, a special correspondent at The Indian Express, wrote on the deplorable state of health facilities there, with shortages of medicines, primary health centres without electricity, rickety water ambulances, and schemes for women’s health that remained on paper. Her work was based on ground reporting as well as information gathered from RTI applications. The articles in the series can be found here:
Congratulations, Rupsa!
