President’s Color
It is the highest award or honor that can be given to any military unit of India. The award is also called the ‘mark’ as it is a symbol which will be worn on the left arm of the uniform by the officers of the respected units. The award serves as a token of outstanding service to the receiving unit. Although the practice of carrying the President’s Colors award into battle has ceased, the practice of receiving, holding and parading it is still practiced in the armed forces. The award can be given to a military unit as a gesture of recognition of the exceptional service rendered to the country during both war and peace.
