The Awards
CID Veerta Awards is an initiative by SONY Entertainment Television to encourage and felicitate acts of bravery in the society. The Award is aimed at bringing to fore the unsung heroes - common people who have committed acts of bravery in real life. CID Veerta Awards also gives the consumers an additional outlet to connect with their favourite show - CID.

The Awards will be given in 2 categories
Physical Bravery (performing a self-less act of bravery at great personal risk to save life, or property of someone else) & Social Bravery (for efforts against social evils like drug abuse, dowry, child labour, illiteracy, environmental pollution, etc).
Within these categories the awards will be further divided into 2 age brackets – people below 15yrs of age & those above 15yrs. In each category, 2 awards will be given (1st & 2nd Prize). Thus there will be 8 Awards in total which will be awarded.

Jury
Each year the jury consists of eminent persons from the society who select the winners from among the thousands of entries received, through an elaborate process. The jury for CID Veerta Awards 2011 will be announced shortly.
