Honoured in Delhi by the Arunachal Government and Global Excellence Forum
Rajiv Sharma, an educationist from India, has been honoured with the Bharat Samaan 2025 Award by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and the Global Excellence Forum for his outstanding contributions in Leadership Development and Skill Development.
For more than two and a half decades, Sharma has been contributing uniquely to Leadership Education and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) not only in India but also in three other countries — the UAE, the United States, and Nigeria.
The Bharat Samaan 2025 ceremony, held in New Delhi and organised jointly by the Arunachal Government and the Global Excellence Forum, saw Sharma being felicitated for his exceptional service in developing leadership and skills. The award was presented at a grand function by Lok Sabha MP Ravindra Narayan Behera andNyato Dukam, Arunachal Pradesh’s Minister of Commerce and Industry.
A resident near DIET Nahan, Sharma has been engaged for nearly two and a half decades in educating the youth in the fields of leadership and skill development across the US, India, Dubai, and Nigeria. Through the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, he has been inspiring young people in several Indian states to adopt skill-based education and leadership training.
Receiving this award in social service, education, and skill development is not only a matter of pride for Rajiv Sharma but also for the Sirmaur district and the state of Himachal Pradesh.
Speaking to Divya Himachal, Sharma said he has been working for over 25 years in the field of NLP across the US, Dubai, Nigeria, and various Indian states. “The aim,” he explained, “is to provide skill-based education that helps the youth stand on their own feet and secure employment opportunities. The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming is continuously working in this direction.”
Rajiv Sharma was specially invited from Dubai to attend the Delhi program, jointly organised under the auspices of the Global Excellence Forum and the Arunachal Government. On this occasion, he was also presented with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Arunachal Government, handed over by Tege Taki, Chairman of the Arunachal State Council for Science and Technology.
