 "Business Standard's Tomar, Dash win IIMCAA awards for business reporting")

While Tomar won the Iffco-IIMCAA award for economic and business reporting, 2019, for his report on blockchain technology for workplaces, Dash's report on states' under-preparedness for the government's flagship Saubhagya scheme to electrify India's households won him a special jury mention in the economic and business reporting category.
