The Nobel Prize is about to be announced. Usually these are announced every year in the month of October. These awards will be announced from October 2 to 9 this year. These awards are given on 10 December. It is recognized as the world's highest award. Its history is very interesting and inspiring.
Before the award, let us know about the person whose inspiration it was started. On October 21, 1833, a child was born in Stockholm, Sweden, who was named Alfred Nobel. His education took place in Sweden, Russia, France and America. He spent important 21 years of his life (1842-1863) in St. Petersburg, where he received higher education.

Alfred later appeared before the world as a great chemist. He also discovered dynamite. He was equally interested in literature as he was in science. He also used to write poems. He was not only a scientist but also an industrialist. He had established many factories in different parts of the world. He did not marry. Noble said goodbye to the world on 10 December 1896. He was full of humanity.
A year before his death, he had written a will, in which he dedicated a large part of his property to people who had made the greatest contribution to physics, chemistry, medical science, literature and peace. According to the will, the Nobel Foundation was established in June 1900 and Nobel Prizes were awarded for the first time in 1901. In 1968, the Swedish Central Bank announced another prize in honor of Alfred Nobel, which was to be given to scholars working in the field of economics.
The bank provides funds for this award but the rest of the things are looked after by the committee formed by the Nobel Foundation. In this way, Nobels are being given in six fields in the world. Celebrities who are rewarded with the amount of interest received from their property are given cash awards as well as citations, gold medals, etc. The King of Sweden gives this award every year in a grand ceremony held in Stockholm. These awards were not given for two years during the Second World War.
When this award was given for the first time in 1901, the amount was 150782 Swedish Krona.
With time this amount increased and at present it is one crore Swedish Krona.
From the year 1901 to 2022, a total of 989 people and institutions have received Nobel Prizes.
The award can be given to a maximum of three people in one category.
There is a provision to give this award only to living persons, however, even if a celebrity dies after it is announced, the award will be given.
The International Committee of the Red Cross was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize thrice in 1917, 1944 and 1963 respectively.
The youngest Nobel laureate is Malala Yusuf Zai of Pakistan, who jointly received the award with Kailash Satyarthi of India.
The names of Madame Curie, Linus Pauling, John Bardin, Frederick Sanger are among those who won Nobel twice.
