What is mother theresa award?

The Mother Teresa Award is a prestigious international humanitarian award that was established in 1997 to honor and recognize individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the betterment of humanity through their selfless service and dedication to the poor and marginalized. The award is named after Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun and a missionary who dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in the slums of Kolkata, India.

The Mother Teresa Award is presented annually by the Harmony Foundation, a Mumbai-based non-profit organization that promotes social and communal harmony, and is given to individuals and organizations that have worked for the upliftment and welfare of society, without any expectation of reward or recognition.

Recipients of the award include prominent personalities such as Dalai Lama, Malala Yousafzai, Muhammad Yunus, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, and several others, who have made significant contributions to humanitarian work around the world. The award consists of a citation, a trophy, and a cash prize, and is presented in Mumbai every year on the occasion of the anniversary of Mother Teresa's death.
