NEW DELHI, AUG 30, 2025: PRESIDENT of India, Droupadi Murmu, conferred the SCOPE Eminence Awards at New Delhi, yesterday. The event was organised by the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), with the support of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), Ministry of Finance, and was held in the presence of Pankaj Chaudhary, Union Minister of State for Finance; K. Moses Chalai, Secretary, DPE; K. P. Mahadevaswamy, Chairman, SCOPE, and Atul Sobti, Director General, SCOPE.

The programme witnessed the presence of senior government officials from various ministries and departments, top leadership of Public Sector enterprises (PSEs), and representatives from national and international partner organizations of SCOPE.

Speaking on the occasion, the President, Droupadi Murmu said that the SCOPE Eminence Awards are a celebration of the significant contribution of public sector enterprises to the development of India. Appreciating the public sector and its leaders, she said that they have been performing well on all parameters including social, economic, environmental, technological and ethical. She appreciated SCOPE for honouring good performance across multiple dimensions such as women empowerment, sustainable development, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and innovation.

The President said that the public sector has been a powerful vehicle for economic development and social inclusion. She expressed confidence that CPSEs will play a crucial role in achieving the national goal of building a developed India by 2047.

While appreciating the effective role of CPSEs in Aatmanirbhar Bharat and 'Make in India' campaigns, the President said that during Operation Sindoor, the indigenous Air Defence Control and Reporting System – Akashteer demonstrated its infallible capability.

In his address, Pankaj Chaudhary said the public sector has come a long way, since their inception, and have played a strategic role in nation building. He stressed that even in times of uncertainty and crisis, the performance of the PSEs remained consistent and they are on the path of sustained growth.

In his address on the occasion, K. Moses Chalai said CPSEs have played a pivotal role in fostering growth and socio-economic development of the country. While engaging around 15 lakh people in direct employment, and indirectly supporting millions of livelihoods across the country, he said that the Public Sector shoulders the dual responsibility of nation-building and economic growth. In the new ecosystem of perform or perish, CPSEs have to perform and maintain competitiveness all the time.

In his address, K. P. Mahadevaswamy said the CPSEs have facilitated sustainable development and remain high on trust index. He reiterated that SCOPE continues to play a catalytic role in building capacities – aligning with the global goals of excellence and ensuring cohesive policy and business environment for the public sector to thrive and succeed.

In his welcome address earlier, Atul Sobti emphasised that the public sector enterprises have evolved into globally recognised, highly competitive and formidable contributors to India's socio-economic growth. In this journey, SCOPE has been strengthening the fraternity and it is our responsibility to continue being a catalyst for self-reliant, prosperous and equitable Bharat, he said.
