President Abdulla Yameen was given Wednesday a governance award by an Indian civil society group, recognising his “long term and sustainable plans for the development of Maldives.”
The first-ever “Dr Kalam Puraskar for Excellence in Governance” was conferred by Thiruvananthapuram-based Dale View Group, an umbrella group that runs health schools and advocates for the rights of addicts, women and transgender people in the state of Kerala.
The award, given in the memory of the late Indian President Dr Abdul Kalam, “is to honour the best presidents, statesmen or leaders who has shown excellence in all fields and has been a visionary in his own right, striving hard to attain the pinnacle of success for the people of his country,” the Dale View Group said.
It is co-hosted by the Abdul Kalam International Foundation, a group set up by the late president’s relatives.
