As people are using the internet more and more every day and connecting with the help of social media, it’s important to understand the importance of social media creators who somehow make someone’s life easier and better. To respect all these creators according to their field of work, Prime Minister Modi presented the National Creators Awards in Delhi.

The government of India chose various creator options for the single award category by asking creators to nominate their names by February 29th and leaving it to the public to vote for their favourite creator to make them win the award, which seems quite fair and transparent. The voting started on March 5 and ended on March 6. Many creators asked their fans to vote for them on the government-made portal and asked for their support.
As per government data, a total of 10 lakh votes were cast across all the categories, and more than 1.5 lakh nominations were filled by the creators across 23 award categories, making it a huge challenge for the government to choose.
