Explanation

The first Indian to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize was Mother Teresa.

She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India, and her selfless work gained international recognition.

In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize for her compassionate efforts to alleviate the suffering of the less fortunate. The Missionaries of Charity established numerous centers, including homes for the dying and orphanages, providing care and support to the most vulnerable members of society.
