The Independence Day Award ((ベンガル語:স্বাধীনতা পদক)),〔(Independence Day Award, Cabinet Division, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh )〕 also termed Independence Award ((ベンガル語:স্বাধীনতা পুরস্কার)), Swadhinata Padak, and Swadhinata Puroskar, is the highest state award given by the government of Bangladesh.〔 Introduced in 1977, this award is bestowed upon Bangladeshi citizens or organizations in recognition of substantial contribution to one of many fields, including the War of Liberation, the language movement, education, literature, journalism, public service, science and technology, medical science, social science, song, games and sports, fine arts, rural development, and other areas. Each awardee receives a gold medal, a certificate of honour, and a sum of cash. The amount of the cash reward was originally taka 20 thousand,〔Booklet of Independence Award 2007. Cabinet Division. Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. pp. 1〕 but was subsequently increased to taka one lac (.10 million in Bangladeshi currency) in 2004.〔 A cabinet committee on national awards prepares the list of each year's nominees and forwards the list to the head of the government for final approval. The award is traditionally presented on the eve of Independence day in Bangladesh at a much publicized ceremony attended by several cabinet and parliament members and distinguished society guests. In 2006, the award generated some controversy as the initial list was not accepted by the Prime Minister.〔 Furthermore, the award to the Rapid Action Battalion was criticized by many because of RAB's alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings. ==Awards by decade== * Independence Day Awards (1977–1979) * Independence Day Awards (1980–1989) * Independence Day Awards (1990–1999) * Independence Day Awards (2000–2009) * Independence Day Awards (2010–2019) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independence Day Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
