Regarding Bharat Ratna, four things...
A Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award in the nation. It is awarded for national service in fields like athletics, public service, science, literature, and the arts. On January 2, 1954, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the president at the time, launched the Bharat Ratna award program.
Originally, Bharat Ratna could only be awarded while the recipient was still alive, but in 1955, posthumous awards were also made. The President of the nation receives a recommendation for Bharat Ratna from the Prime Minister of the country.
A certificate bearing the President's signature and a medal are presented to the recipient. The medal features a platinum sun beaming on a copper peepal leaf. The leaf's edge is platinum as well.
The words Bharat Ratna are inscribed in Hindi at the base of the silver medal. On the back, Satyamev Jayate is written in Hindi beneath the Ashoka Pillar. This distinction is presented without monetary compensation. Between 2020 and 2023, no one received the Bharat Ratna award.
