Kalinga Prize

A Kalinga prize is just like getting a big shiny gold star for doing something super smart and helpful that helps other people learn about science. A long time ago, a really important leader in India named Kalinga wanted everyone to be happy and peaceful, and he believed that science could help make this happen. So, he decided to create a special award called the Kalinga prize that would be given to people who do really cool science stuff and share it with everyone else so that we can all learn more about the world around us. Scientists who win the Kalinga prize get lots of attention and a big ceremony where people give them awards and say nice things about how amazing they're doing. In short, the Kalinga prize is a very special award for smart and helpful scientists who make our world a better place.
