For a journalist, a story that fails to create an impact is as good as never have been reported. Our past projects that have managed to shock the viewers and shake the government authorities have been listed below. These stories not just challenged the system but managed to bring about a change in it as well. Its our stint as a journalist that fanned the fire within us to do more than just raising an issue. We, through IWECT, now aim to work at resolving them as well.

Nidhi did a video story on the illegal crude weapon suppliers,dwelling in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. The story was also published on the front page of Mint.It carried the testimony of the men in the trade, who not just explained the
entire trade route from UP to Delhi and the neighbouring states,but also discussed as to why the crude weapon industry was
thriving and contributing to the rise in crime rate.
The startling revelations in the story and the daring attempt won her the Mint-
Best Journalist Award in 2008.
