The Mobile for Good Awards aim to recognise, promote and support mobile innovations for driving social change in India. The Awards programme is back for its fifth consecutive year in 2015.

The Mobile for Good Awards 2015 will recognise eleven life changing mobile solutions through two Awards categories that are addressing critical areas of health, education, agriculture & environment, government women and inclusive development through unique innovations and usage of mobile & wireless related technologies. Five winning NPOs solutions will receive access to funding & mentorship.

This year, in an effort to curate unique mobile-led innovations that are driving social impact in India, we will also launch a first of its kind- Social Apps Hub, in partnership with key collaborators.

Each category will recognise five best-practice mobile technology related innovations across four defined sub-categories of education, women empowerment & inclusive development, health and agriculture & environment.
