INDIAN AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS – INDIAN HONOUR SYSTEM
AWARDS OF INDIA FOR EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENTS
The Indian honour system is primarily recognized by Indian Central Government. The most recognized are Padma awards which are Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna with increasing order of merit. They are awarded every year. However, the most coveted and highest civilian award Bharat Ratna may not necessarily be awarded every year. The Padma awards are civilian awards for a broad set of achievements in fields such as Education, Arts, Civil Service, or Social Service. Awards were also bestowed posthumously and they are also given for foreign citizens.
