The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) is calling on educational institutions, organizations, and the public to nominate exceptional children for the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP)-2026. The council emphasizes the importance of recognizing talented individuals, especially girls, children from weaker sections, and those belonging to SC/ST communities or with special needs, who often go unnoticed.
In a statement, APSCHE Chairman K. Madhu Murty highlighted that many deserving candidates do not seek public attention, making it crucial to encourage and nominate these achievers for national honors. The nomination process for the PMRBP-2026 is currently open and will close on July 21, 2026. Nominations can be submitted online Rashtriya Puraskar Portal (awards.gov.in).
This prestigious award, established by the Government of India, honors children under 18 years of age as of July 31, 2026, for their accomplishments at both national and international levels. The awards are categorized into six distinct areas: bravery, social service, environment, sports, art and culture, and science and technology.
APSCHE is urging universities, colleges, schools, and State Education Boards throughout Andhra Pradesh to disseminate information about the awards and help identify deserving candidates. The initiative aims to ensure that talented children from diverse backgrounds receive the recognition they deserve for their contributions and achievements.
