Assam has a rich history of such achievements, from Assamese literary awards to national honours received by artists, scientists and social workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For competitive examinations, learning only the recipient\u2019s name is often insufficient. Questions may ask about the recognised book, sporting discipline, award category, first recipient or official award year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide brings together <strong>100 multiple-choice questions on important awards associated with Assam<\/strong>, with answers and four-line explanations. It covers Assam\u2019s civilian honours, Assamese literature, Padma Awards, National Film Awards, sports honours and conservation achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The material is useful for <strong>APSC, ADRE, Assam Police, SSC and other general-awareness examinations<\/strong>. It includes Assamese-language achievements and contributions from Assam\u2019s different communities, as well as selected people whose work is closely connected with the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Overview of Important Awards of Assam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Assam Baibhav is Assam\u2019s highest civilian award.<\/strong> Other important honours include Assam Saurav, Assam Gaurav, the Srimanta Sankardeva Award and the Assam Valley Literary Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National-level topics include Assamese Sahitya Akademi winners, Jnanpith laureates, Padma recipients, National Film Award winners and recognised sportspersons. Bhupen Hazarika\u2019s Bharat Ratna, Lovlina Borgohain\u2019s sports awards and Purnima Devi Barman\u2019s conservation honours are useful revision areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always distinguish the <strong>award year from the announcement or presentation year<\/strong>. Indira Goswami\u2019s Jnanpith award year is 2000, although the announcement was reported in 2001. Similarly, the National Film Awards for 2017 were announced in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One-Line Important Points for Quick Revision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Assam Baibhav<\/strong> is Assam\u2019s highest civilian award.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ratan Tata<\/strong> received Assam Baibhav for 2021 for contributions towards cancer care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tapan Kumar Saikia<\/strong> received Assam Baibhav for 2022.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ranjan Gogoi<\/strong> received Assam Baibhav for 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The December 2023 guidelines specify \u20b95 lakh for Assam Baibhav, \u20b94 lakh for Assam Saurav and \u20b93 lakh for Assam Gaurav.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Srimanta Sankardeva Award<\/strong> was introduced in 1986.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kirtinath Hazarika<\/strong> was its first recipient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jatindranath Dowerah<\/strong> received the first Assamese Sahitya Akademi Award in 1955 for <em>Bana Phul<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indira Goswami<\/strong> received the Jnanpith Award for 2000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nilamoni Phukan<\/strong> is also an Assamese Jnanpith laureate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bhupen Hazarika<\/strong> received the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bhupen Hazarika\u2019s <strong>Dadasaheb Phalke Award year is 1992<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Village Rockstars<\/strong> won overall Best Feature Film at the 65th National Film Awards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jahnu Barua<\/strong> directed <em>Halodhia Choraye Baodhan Khai<\/em>, an overall Best Feature Film winner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moloya Goswami<\/strong> won the National Film Award for Best Actress for <em>Firingoti<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hima Das<\/strong> received the Arjuna Award in 2018.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lovlina Borgohain<\/strong> received the Arjuna Award in 2020 and Khel Ratna in 2021.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nayan Moni Saikia<\/strong> received the Arjuna Award for 2022 in lawn bowls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purnima Devi Barman<\/strong> received UNEP recognition in 2022 and the Whitley Gold Award in 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bibhuti Lahkar<\/strong> was voted IUCN\u2019s People\u2019s Choice Heritage Hero in 2016.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ravi Kannan R.<\/strong> received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bhabendra Nath Saikia<\/strong> was the first Assam Valley Literary Award recipient, for 1990.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jatin Goswami<\/strong> received the Padma Bhushan in 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hem Chandra Goswami<\/strong> and <strong>Reba Kanta Mahanta<\/strong> are associated with traditional mask making.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hemoprova Chutia<\/strong> is known for weaving sacred texts into cloth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parbati Barua<\/strong> received the Padma Shri in 2024 for Social Work associated with elephant conservation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jadav Payeng<\/strong> received the Padma Shri in 2015.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lakhimi Baruah<\/strong> established Konoklota Mahila Urban Co-operative Bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jogesh Deuri<\/strong> was named for Agriculture in the 2026 Padma Shri list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions 1\u201320: State Honours, Literary Milestones, Cinema and Sports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which is Assam\u2019s highest civilian award?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A.

These include the first Assamese Sahitya Akademi winner, the first Assam Valley Literary Award recipient and the highest civilian award of Assam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For literature, prepare a four-column revision table: <strong>author, book, genre and award year<\/strong>. This helps distinguish novels from poetry and short-story collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For cinema, identify whether the recognition was overall Best Feature Film, Best Assamese Film, Best Dimasa Film or an individual acting award. These categories should not be mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For sports, connect the recipient with the sporting discipline before learning the award year. Hima Das is associated with athletics, Lovlina Borgohain with boxing and Nayan Moni Saikia with lawn bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, keep announcement and presentation dates separate from official award years. Review the questions without looking at the answers, then use the answer key to identify topics needing further revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Assam\u2019s highest civilian award?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assam Baibhav is Assam\u2019s highest civilian award. Assam Saurav and Assam Gaurav are other important categories of state civilian honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who received the first Sahitya Akademi Award in Assamese?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jatindranath Dowerah received the first Assamese-language award in 1955 for <em>Bana Phul<\/em>, a poetry collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who was the first Assam Valley Literary Award recipient?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhabendra Nath Saikia was the first recipient, for the award year 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which organisation instituted the Assam Valley Literary Award?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Williamson Magor Education Trust instituted the award to recognise contributions to Assamese literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Assamese film won overall Best Feature Film at the 65th National Film Awards?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Village Rockstars<\/em> received the overall Best Feature Film award.

Always use the official award year when the question specifically asks for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can use these Assam awards MCQs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The questions support revision for APSC, ADRE, Assam Police, SSC and other general-awareness examinations. They are practice questions rather than a claimed collection of previous-year examination questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assam\u2019s award history connects literature, public service, traditional arts, cinema, sports and environmental protection. Effective preparation means linking each recipient with the correct honour, category, recognised work and award year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use these <strong>100 Assamese important awards MCQs<\/strong>, explanations and one-line facts to strengthen your Assam GK preparation with <strong>GKSeries.com<\/strong>.
