Bharat Ratna (Jewel of India or Gem of India in English) is the Republic of India's highest civilian award. Until, the official criteria for awarding the Bharat Ratna stipulated it was to be conferred "for the highest degrees of national service. The Bharat Ratna award was instituted in the year 1954. The service includes artistic, literary, and scientific achievement, as well as " recognition of public service of the highest order. In December 2011, the Government of India modified the criteria to allow sportspersons to receive the award, since then, the award may be conferred "for performance of highest order in any field of human endeavour".

Any person without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex is eligible for the award.

The Process

The recommendations for an award of the "Bharat Ratna" are made by the Prime Minister of India to the President of India; a  maximum of three awards may be made in a given year. The holders of the Bharat Ratna rank 7th in the Indian order of precedence; however, the honour does not carry a monetary grant. The honour does not confer any pre- or post- nominal titles or letters; recipients are constitutionally prohibited from using the award name as a title or post-nominal. However, if they desire, recipients may state they are Bharat Ratna awardees in their curriculum vitae, on the letterheads or on business cards.

‘Awarded Bharat Ratna by the President’

A platinum State Emblem of India was placed in the centre of the reverse side with the national motto, “Satyameva Jayate” (Truth alone triumphs) in Devanagari Script, inscribed in silver-gilt on the lower edge.

The words “Bharat Ratna” on the obverse side remained the same as the 1954 design as did the emblem of India and “Satyameva Jayate” on the reverse side. In 1957, the silver-gilt decoration was changed to burnished bronze.

The Bharat Ratna award medals are produced at Alipore Mint, Kolkata along with the other civilian and military awards like Padma Vibushan, Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri, and Param Veer Chakra.The medal looks like a peepul leaf with “Bharat Ratna” written on it in the Devanagari script.
