Such award recipients turn out to be an inspiration to others by creating role models that inspire greatness among award seekers. The benefit of such recognition does not only stop at the individual level, the awardee’s stories motivate the community to engage in group initiatives, creativity, and social change.

Furthermore, our awards are effective on the national level as well as provide people with pride and help unite the country. This is why showcasing success stories of people belonging to ‘lower’ strata is important: to acknowledge the plurality of Indian talent and the efforts that prop up our country. They also focus public attention on important problems of society and call for action. Irrespective of the domain it covers – arts, sciences, civil service, or social justice – the award we confer not only celebrates the success of the past but also signals the path to progress in the future. Thus, the awards that are presented by BHARAT RATNA SAMMAAN help to build a society that would be more inspired, motivated, and progressive.
