Shaurya Chakra

22 Shaurya Chakras were recorded for 2000 by the Government of India. The official parliamentary record specifies 22 awards, including 13 posthumous awards. I have deliberately not inserted unverified names into this section. The Government database and original award notifications should be used to populate all 22 recipient records before this page is published as a complete historical database.

Historical source note: The 2000 Kargil-related Republic Day records were announced in connection with Operation Vijay. The Government's parliamentary material records the award totals by award year; therefore, this archive treats 2000 as the award year and does not automatically move awards based solely on the date of the underlying action.
