The first Bharat Ratna Awards were not given to
- Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant
- Shri Chakravarti Rajagopalchari
- Dr. Chandra Sekhar Venkat Raman
- Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India. It was instituted in 1954 and is awarded in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order in any field of human endeavor.
The first Bharat Ratna awards were conferred in 1954. The awardees were:
- Shri Chakravarti Rajagopalachari
- Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
- Dr. Chandra Sekhar Venkat Raman
Let's examine the options to determine who was not among the first recipients:
- Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant: He was awarded the Bharat Ratna later in 1957, which means he was not one of the first awardees in 1954.
- Shri Chakravarti Rajagopalachari: He received the Bharat Ratna in 1954.
- Dr. Chandra Sekhar Venkat Raman: He was a Nobel laureate in Physics and received the Bharat Ratna in 1954.
- Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan: He was also awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1954.
Considering the above information, Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant is the person who was not given the Bharat Ratna in the first set of awards in 1954.
Therefore, the correct answer is Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant.
