The Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna (RGKR) is India’s highest honour given for achievement in sports. The

words "Khel Ratna" literally mean "sports gem" in Hindi. The award is named after the late Rajiv

Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India. It carries a medal, a scroll of honour and a substantial cash

component. Up to 2004–05, the cash component was Rs. 500,000/- (c.11,500 USD).The money has

been increased from Rs. 500,000 to Rs. 750,000.[1]

The award was instituted in the year 1991–92 to supply the lack of a supreme national accolade in the

field of sports. Predating the RGKR are the Arjuna awards that have always been given to outstanding

sportspersons in each of many sporting disciplines every year. The Khel Ratna was devised to be an

overarching honour, conferred for outstanding sporting performance, whether by an individual or a

team, across all sporting disciplines in a given year.

Not more than three Dhyan Chand Awards are given in a particular year. However considering that 2012 is the year of Olympic Games, the Ministry has decided to increase the number of Dhyan Chand Awards from 3 to 4 for the current year. Dhyan Chand Awards 2012:Jagraj Singh Mann (athletics),Gundeep Kumar (hockey), Vinod Kumar (wrestling) and Sukhbir Singh Tokas (para-sports).

The Arjuna Awards were instituted in 1961 by the government of India to recognize outstanding

achievement in National sports. The award carries a cash prize of   500,000,

a bronze statuette of Arjuna and a scroll.

Over the years the scope of the award has been expanded and a large number of sports persons who

belonged to the pre-Arjun Award era were also included in the list. Further, the number of disciplines

for which the award is given was increased to include indigenous games and the physically

handicapped category.

The Government has recently revised the scheme for the Arjun Award.[1] As per the revised

guidelines, to be eligible for the Award, a sportsperson should not only have had good performance

consistently for the previous three years at the international level with excellence for the year for

which the Award is recommended, but should also have shown qualities of leadership, sportsmanship

and a sense of discipline.

From the year 2001, the award is given only in disciplines falling under the following categories:

Olympic Games / Asian Games / Commonwealth Games / World Cup / World Championship

Disciplines and Cricket

Indigenous Games

Sports for the Physically Challenged

In mid-August 2011, 19 athletes were announced as Arjuna recipients; the high number due to the

inclusion of both the 2010 Commonwealth Games and 2010 Asian Games in the Arjuna qualifying

year.[2][3]

In 2012, 25 Sportspersons will be conferred with the Arjuna awards.

The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology is awarded annually by

the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for notable and outstanding

research,applied or fundamental, in biology, chemistry, environmental

science, engineering, mathematics, medicine and Physics. The purpose of the prize is to recognize

outstanding Indian work (according to the view of CSIR awarding committee)

in science and technology. It is the highest award for science in India.[1] The award is named after the

founder Director of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar.[2] It was

first awarded in 1958.

Any citizen of India engaged in research in any field of science and technology up to the age of 45

years is eligible for the Prize. The Prize is awarded on the basis of contributions made through work

done primarily in India during the five years preceding the year of the Prize. The Prize comprises a

citation, a plaque, and a cash award of Rs. 500,000. In addition recipients also get Rs 15,000 per

month up to the age of 65 years.

[edit]Nominations

Names of candidates may be proposed by a member of the governing body of CSIR, heads of

universities or institutes of national importance, deans of different faculties and former awardees.

The International Gandhi Peace Prize, named after Mohandas Gandhi, is awarded annually by

the Government of India.

As a tribute to the ideals espoused by Gandhi, the Government of India launched the International

Gandhi Peace Prize in 1995 on the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi. This

is an annual award given to individuals and institutions for their contributions towards social, economic

and political transformation through non-violence and other Gandhian methods. The award carries Rs.

10 million in cash, convertible in any currency in the world, a plaque and a citation. It is open to all

persons regardless of nationality, race, creed or sex.

A jury consisting of the Prime Minister of India, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha,

the Chief Justice of India and two other eminent persons decides the awardee each year.

Ordinarily, only proposals coming from competent persons invited to nominate are considered.

However, a proposal is not taken as invalid for consideration by the jury merely on the ground of not

having emanated from competent persons. If, however, it is considered that none of the proposals

merit recognition, the jury is free to withhold the award for that year. Only achievements within 10

years immediately preceding the nomination are considered for the award; an older work may,

however, be considered if its significance has not become apparent until recently. A written work, in

order to be eligible for consideration, should have been published.[1]
