What is India's Bharat Ratna award?
146798
Bharat Ratna is India's highest civilian award, awarded for the highest degrees of national service. This service includes artistic, literary, and scientific achievements, as well as "recognition of public service of the highest order." Unlike knights, holders of the Bharat Ratna carry no special title nor any other honorifics, but they do have a place in the order of precedence. Bharat Ratna roughly translates as 'Gem of India'.\n\n!

Navratnas in Indian Corporate Sector are profit making PSUs.\n\nThey are called so in comparison with the nine learned scholars / ministers in Akbar's court.\n\nThe Government of India had identified 11 PSUs as `navratnas,' thus granting more autonomy to their board of directors. The 11 PSUs were: SAIL, IOC, ONGC, MTNL, VSNL, GAIL, NTPC, IPCL, BHEL, BPCL and HPCL.\n\nThe criteria for navratnas include size, performance, nature of activity, future prospects and the potential to develop into a world player. The boards of these PSUs were broad-based by the appointment of part-time non-official directors.\n\nDepartment of Public Enterprises decides the status.\n\nThe difference is more autonomy to the board of directors.\n\nThe Government, in 1997, decided to grant more operational flexibility to PSUs and accordingly graded various companies into navratna and mini-ratna categories. The boards of these companies have been delegated powers by the Government to incur fresh expenditure and enter into technical joint venture and strategic alliances. It also allows them to effect organisational restructuring, create or wind up non-board-level posts, raise debt from domestic or international markets and set up joint ventures in the country or abroad within the investment limits specified under the package. \n\nSo far, under this package, 13 PSUs have been empowered as navratnas to take autonomous decisions without interference from the Ministry. Similarly, close to 43 companies have been accorded mini-ratna status.\n\nSources:\nhttp://www.thehindubusinessline.com/ew/2004/03/03/stories/2004030300200300.htm\nhttp://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/fe/daily/20001219/fec19028.html

Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman(November 7, 1888-November 21, 1970) was an Indian physicist, who was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him.\n\nRaman was born in Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu. At an early age Raman moved to the city of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He completed his BA and MA in Physics and English from the Presidency College, Madras (now Chennai). He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions. He joined the Indian Civil Services as an Assistant Accountant General in Calcutta (now Kolkata).\n\nRaman was a professor of Physics at the University of Calcutta for the next fifteen years. It was during his stay here that his work on optics was recognized.\n\nRaman won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the Raman effect. Raman spectroscopy is based on this phenomenon. An interesting anecdote goes that he booked his tickets to Stockholm several months before the Nobel prizes were announced.\n\nRaman also worked in theory of transverse vibration of strings, his analysis of bowed string on the basis of superposition velocities has an upper-hand in explaining bowed string vibration over Helmholtz.\n\nIn 1934, Raman became the director of the newly established Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, where two years later he continued as a professor of physics. In 1947, he was appointed as the first National Professor by the new government of Independent India. He retired from the Indian Institute in 1948 and a year later he established the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, serving as its director and remained active there until his death on 1970, in Bangalore, Karnataka, at the age of 82.\n\nHe also started a company called Travancore Chemical and Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in 1943 along with Dr. Krishnamurthy. The Company during its 60 year history, established 4 factories in Southern India. [1]\n\nHe was knighted in 1929 and awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1954.\n\nCV Raman is the uncle of Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.\n\nIndia celebrates National Science Day on the 28th February of every year to commemorate Raman's discovery in 1928.

State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India. It is also, measured by the number of branch offices and employees, the largest bank in the world. Established in 1806 as Bank of Bengal, it remains the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent and also the most successful one providing various domestic, international and NRI products and services, through its vast network in India and overseas. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a regional banking behemoth. The bank was nationalised in 1955 with the Reserve Bank of India having a 60% stake. It has laid emphasis on reducing the huge manpower through Golden handshake schemes and computerizing its operations.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Bank_of_India

Hands down a member of the Nuclear Club.\n\n India has never been a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It tested a "peaceful nuclear device", as it was described by the Indian government, in 1974 ("Smiling Buddha"), the first test developed after the creation of the NPT, and created new questions about how civilian nuclear technology could be diverted secretly to weapons purposes (dual-use technology). It appears to have been primarily motivated as a deterrent against China. It tested weaponized nuclear warheads in 1998 ("Operation Shakti"), including a thermonuclear device (though whether the latter was fully successful is a matter of some contention).[13] In July 2005, it was officially recognized by the United States as a "a responsible state with advanced nuclear technology" and agreed to full nuclear cooperation between the two nations.[14] This is seen as a tacit entry into the nuclear club of the below nations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelow is a list of nuclear nations.

That's the point for getting awards for doing good things. You get awards for helping others by discovering new, safe ways doing that. If we all break laws to do good things, there'd be no point of awards since it's so easy. It's like saying you should get an award for sleeping.

It's Nobel Peace Prize.\n\nThe Nobel Prize\nThe Nobel Prize is the first international award given yearly since 1901 for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. In 1968, the Sveriges Riksbank (Bank of Sweden) instituted the Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and prize amount.\n\n  \nAlfred Nobel was born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. His family was descended from Olof Rudbeck, the best-known technical genius of Sweden's 17th century era as a great power in northern Europe.  \nNobel invented dynamite in 1866 and later built up companies and laboratories in more than 20 countries all over the world.  \nOn November 27, 1895, Nobel signed his last will providing for the establishment of the Nobel Prize. He died of cerebral haemorrhage in his home in San Remo, Italy on December 10, 1896.

I also say it's Tirupati temple in Tamil Nadu,India,a temple dedicated to Lord Krsna under the Name of Lord Venkatesvara.\nFor those who see many documentaries about the slums of Calcutta,this is a surprise!\nIn Tirupati,there is a daily queue of 100,000 pilgrims,who have to wait sometimes 3-4 hours to see the Deities,and there is also VIP queues where a donation is asked for.\nThe roof of the temple is made of gold,adn the Deitiy's ornaments also,studded with real diamonds.\nRich pilgrims have the possiblility to give pure gold pieces,from a bank in front of the temple.\nIn the town,there are no beggars,as they are cared for by the temple as well as other destitutes.
