The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Vishwa Pratibha Award recognizes contributions in various fields by Gujaratis. It is a prestigious award given to Gujaratis who have made significant contributions in the fields of art, culture, education, literature, science, sports, and other areas. The award was instituted in 2001 by the Gujarat government to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the first Deputy Prime Minister of India. The award is given annually to a Gujarati who has made outstanding contributions to society. The award consists of a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh, a citation, and a memento.
