Borlaug Award Explained

The Borlaug Award is an award recognition conferred by Coromandel International for outstanding Indian scientists for their research and contributions in the field of agriculture and environment. The award was created in 1972 and named in honour of Nobel Laureate Norman E. Borlaug. It carries a cash prize of 5,00,000, a gold medal, and a citation.^[1]
