Answer:-
- The Param Vir Chakra is awarded for most conspicuous bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, in the presence of the enemy, whether on land, at sea, or in the air.
- Param Vir Chakra translates as the "Wheel of the Ultimate Brave", and the award is granted for "most conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy".
- The medal of the Param Vir Chakra was designed by Savitri Khanolkar, whose daughter's brother-in-law, Major Somanath Sharma, was coincidentally awarded the first PVC.
- A number of central and state governments and ministries of India provide allowances and rewards to recipients of the PVC (or their family members in case of the recipient's death).
