The Nobel Prize Awards is one of the most prestigious Awards across the world which are presented in the different fields of academic, cultural or scientific advances. Every year person who do notable work in the fields of chemistry, medicine, economics, literature, physics, and bring peace in the world are awarded Nobel Prize. The foundation of Nobel Prize was laid by Alfred Nobel, on 27th November 1895. Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist who invented Dynamite. He signed his last testimony and gave away a large share of his possession and fortunes to a series of prizes in the fields of Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology and Peace. A sixth prize, in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by Sveriges Riksbank (the Swedish central bank) and is known as the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel. The Nobel Peace Prize is presented in Oslo, Norway before the King of Norway on 10th December each year (Nobel died on December 10th, 1896 in Sanremo, Italy). The Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm (Sweden). The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in the year 1901, which is five years after Nobel Alfred’s death.
