The Bharat Ratna Award is the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Republic of India.
Here’s everything you need to know about India’s highest civilian award: The Bharat Ratna

The Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, was established on January 2, 1954, by Dr Rajendra Prasad, India's first President.
The public accepts the nominations for the Bharat Ratna Awards. However, the award is not given to just anyone. The candidate must be a citizen of India and have made extraordinary contributions in any field, including art, literature, science, public service and sports. The recommendations are then sent to the Prime Minister, who forwards them to the President for approval.
Additional Points of Bharat Ratna Award:
Established in 1954, the award is limited to a maximum of three recipients in a single year.
Nominations are made by the Prime Minister of India to the President for final approval.
The award can be conferred posthumously, as seen in the case of Karpoori Thakur in 2024.
The civilian awards issued by the Government of India are listed here in descending order of rank:
Bharat Ratna: The highest civilian award, recognizing exceptional service/performance in any field.
Padma Vibhushan: Awarded for "exceptional and distinguished service".
Padma Bhushan: Awarded for "distinguished service of a high order".
Padma Shri: Awarded for "distinguished service in any field".
FLASH NEWS: Have you heard that the Prime Minister of India, Sir Narendra Modi is going to inaugurate one of the spanning housing projects in Solapur, Maharashtra under the PMAY Scheme?

NEW DATA: The Pulitzer Prize is a prestigious award administrated by Columbia University
The Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award in the country, which recognizes the exceptional service or performance of the highest order in any field of human endeavour. It is a prestigious award that honours the achievements and excellence of individuals who have made India proud with their contributions. The award has a rich history, rigorous criteria, a formal process, and a generous benefit. The award has been conferred upon 49 individuals, including four foreign nationals, who have excelled in various fields such as politics, education, science, art, literature, sports, social service, and peace. The award, however, has also faced controversies and criticisms, due to the lack of transparency, objectivity, and consistency in the selection process, and the exclusion, inclusion, violation, or dilution of the award’s rules and regulations. The Bharat Ratna, therefore, is an award that inspires admiration and respect, as well as debate and dissent, among the people of India.
