Aditya Pratap Singh Chauhan, a young innovator from Chhattisgarh, has been conferred the prestigious Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2025 in the field of Innovation, recognizing his outstanding contributions to science and technology aimed at solving real-world problems.
Instituted by the Government of India, the Rashtriya Bal Puraskar is the highest civilian honour for children below 18 years, awarded for exceptional achievements in various fields.

Expressing his gratitude, Aditya said, “This award is not just mine—it’s for every child who dreams of making a difference. Innovation should not be limited to labs; it must reach the last village.”
