The program represents the evolution of the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a longstanding program that has recognized over 150,000 young individuals over 27 years worldwide and has a rich legacy spanning over 13 years in India. Benefiting from the purpose driven history of Prudential Financial Inc. and financial expertise of Piramal Finance, Pramerica Life Insurance continues its journey of recognizing and celebrating the remarkable efforts of children who contribute positively to their communities by developing innovative solutions to financial and societal challenges.
