For his contributions to sports and the country, he was awarded the Arjuna Award in 1982 and the Padma Shri in 1983. A 37-Year Fight for Justice

The movie portrays Singh’s 37-year struggle, where he went from an Olympian to a struggling farmer, running "pillar to post" to claim what he was rightfully owed. He faced decades of humiliation and administrative red tape, a ordeal that only concluded shortly before his passing in early 2023 when the government finally moved to settle the debt.
