Panaji-Goa : 25 May 2026

The Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India, has invited nominations for the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP) 2026, a national award instituted to recognize exceptional achievements of children across the country whose contributions have positively impacted society and inspired others.

The award honors talented and public-spirited young individuals under six categories namely Bravery, Social Service, Environment, Sports, Art & Culture and Science & Technology.

Children below 18 years of age as on July 31, 2026, who have demonstrated outstanding achievements and made exceptional public contributions in any of these fields are eligible for nomination.

To ensure a broad-based and inclusive selection process, nominations are invited from Ministries and Departments of the Government of India, State Governments, Union Territories and other relevant institutions. The nominations and recommendations for PMRBP-2026 will be accepted only through the online Rashtriya Puraskar Portal at https://awards.gov.in.

The Ministry has emphasized the need to identify deserving children who may not ordinarily receive public attention despite their extraordinary achievements. Special efforts have been urged to identify talented children from among girls, weaker sections, SC and ST communities and Divyang persons.

The online nomination process for PMRBP-2026 commenced on April 1, 2026 and the last date for submission of nominations is July 31, 2026.

Eligible individuals and organizations are encouraged to submit nominations through the Rashtriya Bal Puraskar Portal within the stipulated timeline.
