In a social media post last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the National Creators Award would honour the talent of youngsters who are driving innovation. He posted on X, “Social media has helped a lot in showcasing people’s skills and talents. Youngsters in India are doing wonders in the field of content creation. To honour their talent, the National Creators Award has been initiated.”

The voting lines have been shut and the winners will be announced based on a fusion of jury evaluations and public mandates. The event will be hosted by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and stand-up comedian Zakir Khan who are among the nominees in the Best Storyteller Award category.
