Vijaypal Dudi, News Editor at Dainik Bhaskar, has been awarded the First Prize at The Statesman Rural Reporting Awards 2024 for his investigative reporting on human trafficking in rural India.
His investigation exposed a network that trafficked over 20 newborns across five states, with babies bought from tribal families for as little as ₹6,000 and sold for up to ₹8 lakh. The report prompted action by the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission and state authorities, leading to arrests and debates in the state Assembly.
