The NRB Portal is planning to lunch Three distant Awards to recognise the work done by the Non-Resident Biharis. First is Babu Veer Kubar Singh Legendary Award, The second is Dr. Sachidananda Sinha Excellence Award and The Third is Global Bihari Champion Award.

1. ⚜️ Babu Veer Kubar Singh Legendary Award

The Babu Veer Kubar Singh Legendary Award is a profound honor dedicated to memorializing the exceptional courage and sacrifice of Babu Veer Kunwar Singh, a legendary figure in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. This award is specifically structured not for battlefield valor, but for the most noble form of civilian sacrifice: one's life given for the higher principles of Science, Welfare of Society, or Humanity. It is the highest recognition, reserved exclusively for individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice, thus drawing a direct parallel between the gallant self-denial of the historical figure and the moral bravery of modern-day martyrs for progress.

The core philosophy of the award is to valorize intellectual and compassionate risk-taking. Recipients would include scientists who perish during high-risk research aimed at curing diseases or developing revolutionary technologies; social workers, doctors, or humanitarians who lose their lives while serving in hazardous regions or during epidemics; or activists who are martyred in their struggle for justice, equality, and the upliftment of the underprivileged. The award transcends geographical and professional boundaries, seeking to establish a pantheon of heroes who consciously placed societal benefit above personal safety. It serves as an enduring national tribute, inspiring future generations to embrace a life of purpose, where the pursuit of knowledge and the service of mankind are considered the highest forms of gallantry.

2. 🌟 Dr. Sachidananda Sinha Excellence Award

The Dr. Sachidananda Sinha Excellence Award is a distinguished civilian honor that celebrates extraordinary achievement and the resulting glory brought to the motherland. Named after Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha, a pivotal statesman, lawyer, and educationist instrumental in the formation of modern Bihar and interim president of India's Constituent Assembly, the award recognizes an individual whose remarkable success in any field has resonated globally, metaphorically "glorifying the motherland." This honor is a testament to the idea that national pride is built not just on political foundations, but on the intellectual, artistic, and athletic excellence of its citizens.

The award is uniquely broad, encompassing fields from high art and literature to global business, sports, technological innovation, and public service. Unlike the Gallantry Award, the Sinha Excellence Award focuses on achievement and impact recognizing those who reach the pinnacle of their discipline and project a positive, powerful image of the nation onto the world stage. A laureate could be a award winning scholar, a successful businessman, an Olympic champion, a celebrated film director, or a philanthropist, etc whose work scales to national and international prominence. The selection process rigorously evaluates the scale of the achievement, the difficulty of the path taken and critically, the degree to which the individual’s success serves as an inspiration and a source of collective pride for the nation. It is an annual celebration of human potential and the enduring spirit of excellence inherent in the national character.

3.  🎯Global Bihari Championship Award

The Global Bihari Championship Award recognises outstanding global achievements by Non-Resident Biharis who have made Bihar proud through excellence in their respective fields across the world. This prestigious honour is conferred upon individuals who have achieved international recognition through their professional accomplishments and who continue to uphold the values, talent, and work ethic traditionally associated with Bihar. The award seeks to acknowledge those whose dedication, perseverance, and leadership have contributed significantly to shaping a positive and progressive image of Bihar at the global level.

The purpose of the Global Bihari Award is to celebrate individuals who have excelled in diverse domains such as entrepreneurship, business, science, technology, innovation, culture, arts, sports, media, social service, leadership, and public service. These awardees not only demonstrate personal excellence but also play a vital role in strengthening Bihar’s global identity by serving as role models for the Bihari diaspora and the younger generation. Through their achievements, they inspire confidence, pride, and aspiration among people of Bihari origin worldwide.

The scope of the award reflects the wide-ranging contributions of Non-Resident Biharis across continents and sectors. Whether through building successful enterprises, advancing scientific research, promoting cultural heritage, driving social change, or contributing to global public service, the recipients embody the spirit of innovation and commitment. The Global Bihari Championship Award celebrates the global footprint of Bihar by highlighting the achievements of its people beyond geographical boundaries. It stands as a tribute to the enduring connection between Bihar and its global community, reinforcing the idea that while individuals may live and work abroad, their roots, values, and sense of responsibility toward their homeland remain strong and influential.

Vande Bihar, Vande Bharatam !
