Assam Baibhav is the highest civilian award in the State of Assam, India.[1] On 2 December 2021, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma officially declared the award on the occasion of "Asom diwas" (Assam Day). The Assam Vaibhav Award carries a cash prize of ₹5 lakh (US$6,600) and the recipient can avail medical treatment throughout his life at government expense. The obverse of the award is an image of the Jaapi along with the words "Assam Baibhav", inscribed in Assamese script, on a Hollong tree (Dipterocarpus retusus) leaf. In 2021, the Government of Assam conferred its highest civilian award, Assam Baibhav, to Ratan Tata for "his exceptional contribution towards furthering cancer care in Assam".[2]
