The answer is: Varies by award.
Some Gujarat state awards can be won more than once, while others can only be won once. For example, the Gujarat Gaurav Puraskar can be won multiple times, while the Gujarat Ratna Award can only be won once.
The Gujarat Gaurav Puraskar is the highest civilian award of the Gujarat government. It is awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of art, literature, science, education, social service, sports, and other fields. The award can be won multiple times.
The Gujarat Ratna Award is the second highest civilian award of the Gujarat government. It is awarded to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the state of Gujarat. The award can only be won once.
Other Gujarat state awards, such as the Gujarat Bhushan Award and the Gujarat Vibhushan Award, can also be won multiple times.
The Gujarat government has not released any official information on why some awards can be won multiple times while others can only be won once. However, it is likely that the decision is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the individual’s achievements and contributions.
