Reuters Market Light (RML), the pioneer in creating a professional micro-information service for India's agricultural community, has won the 'World Business and Development Award' (WBDA) in recognition of its efforts for improving the lives of India's farming community.

The biennial WBDA is hosted by the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Business Leaders Forum and the United Nations Development Programme.

RML is among 10 global companies that picked up a WBDA for improving the lives of some of the world's most disadvantaged communities and applying their inclusive business expertise to the worldwide efforts to end poverty.  

''The award recognises our efforts to help address some of the most pressing problems faced by countless Indian farmers,'' says Amit Mehra, founder and managing director, Reuters Market Light.

The WBDA award ceremony is part of the special focus on the millennium development goals during the opening week of the United Nations' general assembly in New York. 

 ''It is very encouraging to know that through our innovative business model, we are contributing - in our own modest way - to the global efforts to achieve millennium development goals outlined by the United Nations,'' Mehra added.
