One of the biggest awards in the world, it is given as a recognition of efforts in protest against corruption and support of human rights. Since 2011, Anna Hazare\u2019s tireless fight against socio-political corruption in India has been the talk of the nation. Recently, he has been to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/tag\/usa\/\">USA<\/a> on a mission that is to promote his \u201cfight against corruption\u201d campaign and get support of the NRIs there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He thinks that the Allard Prize has added a spark to the torch that he has lit to ignite the million minds and penetrate the dark veil of corruption. It has made him more sanguine of his mission and vision. He is quoted saying, \u201cI believe that this international recognition will help the movement for change to spread out beyond boundaries and connect the cause with millions across geographies.\u201d His non-violent movement against corruption was listed among the \u201cTop News Stories of 2011\u201d by Time Magazine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Allard Prize, incepted by UBC Law alumnus Peter A. Allard in October 2012, is presented to a person or an organization for setting an example of courage in fighting corruption, leadership in promoting national integrity, and consistency in working for a noble cause. According to social and political critics, Anna Hazare deserved the prize for his movement to enhance transparency of government policies and launch an investigation of political corruption across the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\">IndianEagle.com<\/a> connects Indian hearts in the USA and Canada through cheapest air travel to India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna Hazare, a contemporary face of India in social activism, made headlines at home and abroad for having been awarded the Allard Prize for international peace and integrity.
