The Nobel Prize is the most prestigious award and is a recognition of individuals who make significant contributions to humankind in various fields. It was founded in 1895 by the Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel, who is most famous for the invention of dynamite. The first such prizes were given in 1901 and since then, hundreds of individuals and a few organisations have attained this distinguished award.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Indians too have made significant contributions and, therefore, have succeeded in getting this honour. Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned Indian poet, was the first Indian to receive the Nobel Prize in 1913 and since then, Indians have been able to win the prize in each of the six categories (including Tagore).<\/span><\/p>\r\n
