Transcript of New National Sports Awards
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.

First foreign Coach who was awarded by Dronacharya Award in 2012.

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.

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]
