Amrit Maan receives Congressional reward

Punjabi singer-actor Amrit Maan shared a story on his social media handle wherein he shows his ‘Certificate of Congressional Recognition’ from the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Congressional Award is an award for young Americans, established by the United States Congress in 1979 in order to ‘recognize initiative, service, and achievement in young people’. It is nonpartisan (without taking political beliefs into consideration), voluntary, non-competitive, and open to all youth. It recognizes voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration as reasons for the recognition.

Amrit Mann received this award for ‘his contribution to the arts in the Central Valley and for his exemplary work for the Punjabi community.’
