✎ Kishor Makwana's award highlights NCSC's role in safeguarding SC rights and promoting social justice.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) Chairman, Kishor Makwana, was honored with the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Jan Seva Puraskar 2026 for his dedicated leadership in ensuring justice, rights, and dignity for Scheduled Castes. The award, presented during the 16th Sansad Ratna Awards 2026 in New Delhi, recognizes his contributions toward strengthening the constitutional rights and welfare of marginalized communities. The event, attended by Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy and Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, highlighted the government’s emphasis on social justice and empowerment, aligning with constitutional provisions under Articles 15, 16, and 46 of the Indian Constitution. For banking and SSC aspirants, this underscores the significance of constitutional bodies like the NCSC in promoting inclusive governance, a topic often tested in exams like RBI Grade B and UPSC.
The recognition also reflects India’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), which is relevant for RBI Grade B’s economic and social development segments. For SSC aspirants, questions on constitutional bodies, awards, and social justice initiatives are common in exams like CGL and CHSL. Banking exams like IBPS PO and SBI Clerk may also feature questions on government schemes or awards related to social welfare, making this a crucial current-affairs update for competitive exam preparation.
