Assistant prof, previously PRODed. Deprodded as "WP:ANYBIO #1?", but based on http://ssbprize.gov.in/Content/prizes.aspx I'm not convinced it's a "well-known and significant award or honor", sounds more like a relatively early career prize, with not a very high monetary value. Announcement of the award is covered in a few places. As an academic, I found, which may be incomplete, but I don't see enough to warrant a pass of WP:NPROF.

 * Comment. The subject seems to have received the Bhatnagar prize for the paper Almost contact 5-manifolds are contact, which was published in the Annals of Mathematics in 2015.  Although the Bhatnagar prize is awarded to people under 45, it doesn't appear to be at all an early career prize.  (After all, the prestigious Fields medal is also restricted to under 40.)  So this tends to suggest that WP:NPROF C2 is met.  I'd normally expect to see a few more citations, even in a low citation field like mathematics (or otherwise a bit more evidence towards NPROF C1).

 * Comment Good point, I'll strike the early career comment. -Kj cheetham (talk) 07:54, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Originally I thought it was a one-off Rs 5,00,000 prize (under $7000), based on the official website. The Bhatnagar prize artcle says "In addition, recipients also receive Rs. 15,000 per month up to the age of 65 years", which is more impressive. Also mentioned at, and saying "They receive an award from the Prime Minister", which makes me think this article does have more merit... -Kj cheetham (talk) 07:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. WP:NPROF C2 is supposed to be a proxy for WP:NPROF C1, and there should be some other indications of progress towards that.  Apart from the prize, it looks like a pure case of WP:TOOSOON.  Since the recognition is only for the single paper, I'm very weakly arguing delete per WP:BLP1E, with shades of WP:TOOSOON.  Since the article is a fairly minimal stub, we're not losing much by deleting and recreating in 5 years or so, assuming the subject's career continues to progress.
