Scroll.in reporter Aarefa Johari has won the Chameli Devi Jain Award for Outstanding Woman Mediaperson 2021. The Chameli Devi Jain Award is administered by the Media Foundation and recognises women reporters who have upheld standards of excellence in journalism through a sustained body of work and make reports on themes including social development, politics, equity, and gender justice, health, war and conflict, and consumer values.
In 2015, Scroll.in’s Executive Editor Supriya Sharma was honoured with the Chameli Devi Jain Award. The award was instituted in 1980 by The Media Foundation to honour women in the field of journalism. The award is India’s longest running media award for women.
