The following is a list of women who have won the Femina Miss India title.
Format
editThe Femina Miss India pageant, which began in 1947, has been known by various names depending on the organizers running the pageant. Currently, it is organised by Femina, a women's magazine published by The Times Group. Until 2017, participants from across the country competed with no regional limitations. The number of entrants also varied between editions. However, since 2017, the organization has implemented regional participation zones: North, South, Northeast, West, and East. This allows for representatives from every state to compete.[1][2]
The winner of the Femina Miss India pageant typically represents India at the Miss World pageant and holds the title of Femina Miss India World. However, runners-up may sometimes be chosen to represent India at other international pageants or none. There are no specific, predetermined titles awarded to the runners-up. In some cases, even contestants who are not runners-up are appointed to represent India at other international beauty pageants.[3]
