When Did This Awesome Award Start?

This special award, the Nishan-e-Pakistan, was created a little while ago, in 1975. Think of it like a new rule being made for a game.

The Nishan-e-Pakistan is super important because it recognizes people who have helped Pakistan in the biggest ways.

Who Gets to Give Out the Shiny Medal?

The President of Pakistan, who is like the leader of the country, is the one who gives out the Nishan-e-Pakistan. This happens on a very special day called Pakistan Resolution Day, which is on March 23rd. Sometimes, if someone has passed away but did amazing things, they can still get the award. It's a way to remember and celebrate their contributions forever.
