The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize is one of India's most prestigious science awards, given for outstanding contributions to science and technology. It is named after the founder-director of CSIR and has been awarded annually since 1958.

The B.C. Roy National Award is given for outstanding contribution in the fields of medicine, science, philosophy, arts, and literature. For the year 2006, Dr. Ramesh Babu was selected for this prestigious award. This is a factual recall question about a specific award recipient.

Ramoji Rao, founder of ETV Network and Eenadu Group, received the Indian News Broadcasting lifetime achievement award in 2008. He was a prominent media baron from Andhra Pradesh. The award ceremony was held on August 22, 2008.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, which are two of the original Nobel Prizes established in Alfred Nobel's will. The Economics prize is not a true Nobel Prize but a memorial prize established later in 1968.

The Nobel Peace Prize is unique among the Nobel Prizes - it is awarded by a committee of the Norwegian Parliament (Nobel Norwegian Committee), not the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. All other Nobel Prizes are awarded by Swedish institutions.

Kamal Haasan has won four National Film Awards: Best Actor for 'Moondram Pirai' (1982) and 'Indian' (1996), Best Feature Film in Tamil for 'Hey Ram' (2000) as producer, and 'Nayakan' (1987) won Best Feature Film in Hindi. His total count stands at four National Awards across different categories.

Sourav Ganguly won 4 consecutive Man of the Match awards during a specific period, showcasing his dominant form. This streak highlighted his ability to consistently perform at the highest level. The other numbers - 2, 3, and 5 - don't match this specific record.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam received the Padma Bhushan in 1981 and Bharat Ratna in 1997. Padma Shree (2000) is incorrect as he received Padma Vibhushan in 1990, not Padma Shree. The Arjuna Award (1993) is also incorrect - that's a sports award, not applicable to Kalam's scientific contributions.

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan received Bharat Ratna in 1954, and Zakir Hussain received it in 1963 - both were Presidents of India awarded India's highest civilian honor. R. Venkataraman and Pratibha Patil were Presidents but did not receive Bharat Ratna. The question asks about presidents who received the highest civilian award.
