These awards were first given in 1994. The winners were given a commendation letter, a shawl and ₹1 lakh. In 2005–06, the U.P. Government increased the cash award amount to ₹5 lakh. The awards were stopped between 1995 and 2003 and again from 2007 to 2012. Since 2012, the recipient is awarded a commendation letter, a shawl and ₹11 lakh, along with a pension of ₹50,000 per month, on demand.
