Award works of

Ranchi, Jan. 6 -- Vikas Sinha, an accused in a money-laundering scam, has admitted that former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda took bribe from many companies to award works of rural development, power projects and other schemes. Koda, currently in judicial custody till January 19 in connection with a disproportionate assets case, is likely to be arrested soon by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Vikas also affirmed that his brother, Binod Sinha, a "close friend" of Koda, handled the latter's money by way of investing them in Emaar Alloys and other companies. Koda's money was invested through a chartered accountant.
His chartered accountant, S K Naredi, arranged fake entry of money in the name of non-existing companies.

Could you please explain to me what "award works of" means in this context?

I guess it means "give permission to start the works of projects like ........"

Hi, I think it means that he helped many companies sign contracts (for works in rural development etc) regardless of who the best bidder was (assuming that was public bidding or he may have skipped public budding altogether)
