Understanding the concept

The Bharat Ratna, which literally means 'Jewel of India', is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India. It is presented by the President of India to individuals who have performed service of the highest order in any field of human endeavour. This includes contributions in arts, literature, science, public service, and even sports, as seen with Sachin Tendulkar, who was the first sportsperson to receive it. The award was instituted in 1954 and is given without any distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex. The number of annual awards is restricted to a maximum of three in a particular year. While there isn't a monetary grant with the award, recipients are given a Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a medallion. The medallion is shaped like a peepal leaf and is usually worn around the neck. The concept behind this award is to recognise and honour Indians who have made exceptional and profound contributions to the nation, inspiring others through their dedication and achievements.

Tips for parents & teachers

• Encourage your child to research one of the Bharat Ratna awardees mentioned and present a short fact about them.
• Discuss with your child why each of these individuals might have received such a high honour.
• Use a map of India to locate the birthplaces of some of the awardees.
• Turn this into a fun family quiz night to make learning interactive.
• Supplement this worksheet with documentaries or books about the lives of these distinguished personalities.
