mAnyare, namaskara.

We are talking about a recognition for some achievement. We need to translate the idea rather than the word "barnstar". I would like to call it: "saadhana padaka" (They have achieved something: (saadhane) and they get a token of appreciation (padaka).

That is my 2-cents. Thank you.
