With the idea of giving back to the society, Aalok Pravanjyan Welfare Society has been conducting the Assam Rising Awards and Felicitation programme at Guwahati for the last 12 years.

Two awards namely the "Aalok Pravanjyan Award" and the "Dainandin Barta Award" are conferred upon selected awardees every year on the basis of their singular achievements and contributions to the society.
