 And the moment we've all been waiting for, the moment has arrived. We now begin with the award ceremony. And to give away, we have this illustrious panel here to give away the awards. The first category tonight is programming. The subcategory under that is the best current affairs program, English. Can we have the AV, please? I think it was very exciting, especially coming from the US. I was able to get to know the process, which was very open, very transparent. And most importantly, everybody was very engaged and enthusiastic about the categories and the participants. And I think what was so compelling was there were such great, great participants who had such great compelling stories and very professional and very effectively done. And I feel that the jury at times was very close, even though it came from a very diverse background. But we all came together and made a decision and found which was the best compelling candidate to win the nomination and the prestigious award. And the winner to your award, the next subcategory under programming is Hindi. When you switch on your television in the evening or any time, you want to see what is happening in some corner of the country today. So, we were looking for such a current affairs channel, a current affairs program in which there is originality, in which there is the courage to go where no one else is going. So, in search of the winner, we looked for originality, we looked for courage, we looked for a thought, which we found in the winner. And the winner... We cut short Dr. Zairi's speech because the minister was in a hurry. But Dr. Zairi, the award is as much about the winner as the jury. So, I'd like you to say a few words. I know everything has been said, but you had a speech, so I would like... Because he was very patient in the jury, spent nine hours doing that. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Dr. Anurag Bhattra, my esteemed members of the jury and all the leading personalities from broadcasting media, ladies and gentlemen. Actually, when I was chairing this jury process, I found that this process was more difficult than holding the position of Chief Election Commissioner. But not seriously, I'm coming to the point. Because any process you run in an independent manner, in a neutral manner and in an impartial manner... And Dr. Bhattra, I must say that I have seen it enough in Election Commission of India. When you do right things, then there would always be some people who would criticize you. And you have to learn to live with it. The only thing is that you should feel that you have done your job with a clean conscience in a transparent manner. And with a framework of rules. And I was very happy that the rules were very clearly laid down. The entire process was conducted in a very, very transparent manner. Our jury members were very, very intelligent, very, very eminent. And none of them was seeming to be influenced by any personality, excepting, of course, some perceptions were prevailing in the house. But I think ultimately we have produced the best which we thought are the best one in the media. But there is always a chance, I mean those who could not get it, maybe they may try again, push the boundary and come to the top again. And therefore I would like to say and I would like to congratulate your organization for organizing such a wonderful award ceremony. You bring people forward, those who have done very, very well in their field. And I would like to congratulate all the winners. And thank you very much for inviting me today. Thank you. Yes, that is right. Under the aegis of Dr. Zaidi, this evening will bear witness to the painstaking task this jury had. So, absolute bowing to you with that. I'd like to call on stage to give away the next set of awards May I invite Reena Dhaka, a renowned fashion designer please to join us on stage. Ladies and gentlemen, and Rakesh Shukla, the MD of Scope India Private Limited. The next subcategory of awards under programming is the best current affairs program in a southern region language. Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil or Telugu. Let's see the AV, please. The best possible, you know, regional program which looked at a gamut of issues went in depth into it and brought out issues of public interest before the audience at large. And I thought that, and we felt that, you know, we have to choose the best one. There were no nominations. In the genre of Hindi business channels, we went by the criterion as to what is the quality of information that the channel is providing to the viewer. What is the variety of information the channel is providing to the viewer? And what is the idiom in which it is providing to the viewer? And the winner, I think, wins on all the three criteria. Good evening. Had this been a real estate award function, I wouldn't have really liked somebody interrupting such an awesome award show. But I'll just try and keep, not come between the award section. And my source will actually help me stay away from the award and we'll get back to the award very soon. I just wanted to tell you guys about what we do. We are a vanilla-broken company with offices in Delhi and Mumbai at the moment. And we have a budget of about 90 odd crore rupees, which we spend majorly in print across the western part of the country. And Mr. Rajiv Shukla spoke about whether the world prefers republic or times. I don't know about it as yet, but I'll be able to tell you in six months because I have contracts with both the news channels. But from today's evening, it seems CNBC also is one channel that I should look at as an advertiser to spend some money and some budgets. We have created this brand, but typically we are a vanilla-broken company. We help people identify homes. Many times people refer to me as a developer, but I am not a developer. We help people identify homes like what many of the English and American companies do. And we are happy to be termed as the Patanjali of the Indian-broken industry. We do about 6,000 crores of sales and we aspire to come up with our IPO in 2019-20, which will be the first IPO of a real estate broker of Indian origin. Today is also a very special day because it marks my 100th day of knowing Mr. Anurag Bhatra. I am a big fan of him and this also completes my 11 events as one of the partners or sponsors or well-wishers with exchange for media, business world and Realty Plus. And I wish to be here more often. Thank you very much and congratulations to everybody who has made it. Cheers. Amit, stay. Please. Amit, please. I'd also like to call on stage Mr. Naval Ahuja, the director for exchange for media. Welcome. Mr. Bhatra, are you here? You escaped. No, you didn't. Please, please come. As we continue the journey, the next sub-category of awards is the best talk show in Hindi. Let's have the AV. I think what we had in mind was, you know, the plurality of viewpoints that could be put across so that the audience is able to make the judgment for itself. So it was important that every viewpoint finds reflection in the program, not just one viewpoint. And that was what we were looking for. Investigative journalism is getting scarcer and scarcer on television, also in the print medium. So, we went by the content, the explanation, and the subject chosen. And the winner scores on all points, gets it all. It's the winner all through. The biggest thing is that it's not just about the public. It's also about the thoughts. And that's why, from the news channel's entry to the big screen, one of the criteria is that it's in-depth. It can be a different story. What is behind the curtain? What is the history? Is there any thought? That's why, this time in front of the jury, the amount of entries that came in was difficult to choose from. Because even today, many people believe that the TV news media is like that. It only makes a mess. It only gives news. But behind it, people are forced to think, to understand. There are also very good factors. And that's why, this jury decided to give it an award. They thought, what did they do to bring awareness to the society? I'm the winner is, I don't hear you. For the Newscoverage English Award, we only focused on the content, quality, and we took the decision of the winner. And the winner is the Asian team. While judging all the entries for the best Southern news coverage, it was really a pleasure to see the entries. Normally what you see, the quality in the national channels, we were able to see some outstanding contribution by the Southern channel. And when we were looking forward to the right candidate, I think it was more or less a unanimous choice for this candidate. Best news coverage, National Southern Indian. And the winner for this category. This was one of the most interesting categories, frankly. Because you're dealing with subjects that have captured the imagination of the world. And you're seeing them through the lens of an Indian TV channel. So it was quite a hot argument. And I think everybody had views on which was the better entry. And in the end, there was a winner. But it was a very close contest. I think on the international side it was very important the whole group went overseas. And whenever your journalists travel into war zones or dangerous areas, I must commend them and their families, the heart of, I don't know how they have, to go cover the story. So that's the reason why there was an easy one to choose because they put their life in harm's way and to tell the people the story back home while they're sitting in their home on the couches. So I think free press is not only important, but at the same time telling stories from dangerous spots is equally wonderful and great. Gentlemen, at the Enber Awards 2018, this is such an honor. I want to thank Exchange for Media, the organizers, and the very, very esteemed jury for giving me this award. It's been a really short time. Mirana was a young channel. We're trying to do something new. We're trying to sort of break the mold. So this is a vote of confidence that gives us faith that we're on the right track. And we can continue to do good work. Thank you again for this award. I will let you know that under this category, we had two awards, two winners, and Faye De Souza was indeed the jury commendation. She was unable to be here, but she left kindly this bite as her acceptance. And I do invite someone from her team, from our staff to please accept the award on her behalf. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Faye De Souza. But this award is dedicated to all our reporters who over the past 12 months have told the stories that have made this award possible and anchors only as good as the stories he is able to tell. And at India Today, we have by far the best team of reporters. The kind of ground reportage, the investigations, the exposés that they've done over the past several months have defined the gold standard of journalism. And this award is dedicated to all our fabulous reporters and to the producers who will bring those stories together and put them on air in a meaningful way. Over the next several months, we hope to do many more great stories and we hope to be back at the exchange for media awards next year and win many more awards. Thank you so much. I'm missing being there next year. Hopefully I will be there and will be walking away with many more on us. Thank you. I request someone from India Today TV to please accept the award on behalf of TV 18. Give me very little. I'd also like to call Mr. K. G. Suresh, the Director-General of Indian Institute of Mass Communication to give away the next set of awards under personality. And we're talking about the best anchor in Hindi. We have two winners under this category again. One is a special commendation and the second is the winner. Let's see the AV please.
