The Kaisar-i-Hind Medal for Public Service in India was a medal awarded by the Emperor/Empress of India between 1900 and 1947, to "any person without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex ... who shall have distinguished himself (or herself) by important and useful service in the advancement of the public interest in India." The name "Kaisar-i-Hind" (Urdu: قیصرِ ہند qaisar-e-hind) literally means "Emperor of India" in the Urdu language.
