President Droupadi Murmu has conferred Bharat Ratna to five eminent personalities, including two former Prime Ministers.

Of the five personalities who were given the honour this year, except for former Deputy Prime Minister L. K. Advani, former Prime Ministers Chaudhary Charan Singh and P. V. Narasimha Rao, eminent agricultural scientist and architect of Green Revolution M.S. Swaminathan, and former Chief Minister of Bihar Karpoori Thakur, have been awarded posthumously.
