My2020Hero

In November 2020, the CPB Foundation in partnership with Confederation of Indian Industry had the opportunity to launch #My2020hero - a nationwide open call to celebrate the unsung heroes of India.


Initially meant to close at the end of December 2020, the deadline for submission was extended to January 2021 due the positive response received from everyone. People from different parts of the country participated and shared their stories for the open call that ran for over 75 days. The entire initiative has been a heartwarming experience, to be made aware of human resilience from different parts of the country through their real-life hero's story!
With support from Google for the My2020Hero initiative, the #my2020hero team had the opportunity to discover 20 larger stories about real-life heroes from different corners of India that highlighted their exemplary efforts to reach out to others during the difficult times in 2020 with the help of 20 talented photographers.
