This award was instituted as a legacy to Diana, Princess of Wales' in support of her belief that young people have the power to change the world for the better. It is presented to inspirational or socially active young people who have made a positive difference to the lives of others and their communities.
The award recognized the 15-year-old's work at an international level in empowering young people in creating a sustainable future.

Basu also engages with local and government agencies, conducting ground level community action projects on waste management, sustainable consumption, reducing carbon footprint, social upliftment, mitigating climate change and future justice.
She is an internationally recognized advocate for gender equality and children's right to education.
Earlier this year, Basu also received the prestigious Non-Resident of the Year award. She has also received the 2015 Solar Pioneer Award and the Ambassador of the Environment from GESS UK.
