The award was instituted in 2008 and is conferred on people who have made a significant contribution to society in Bhutan.
Modi has paid special attention to India’s ties with Bhutan ever since he became the Prime Minister in 2014. In fact, Bhutan was the first foreign country he travelled to after assuming office.
India has also extended full assistance to Bhutan during the pandemic. Last month, Modi launched the second phase of the RuPay card in Bhutan electronically.
