Mother Teresa and Her Nobel Peace Prize

Did Mother Teresa refuse the Nobel Prize Awards Banquet?

Yes

Answer:

Yes, Mother Teresa did indeed refuse the Nobel Prize Awards Banquet.

When Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she chose to forego the traditional Nobel Prize Awards Banquet. Instead of attending the banquet, she requested that the $192,000 budget be used to help the poor in India. Mother Teresa's decision to refuse the lavish banquet and use the funds to help those in need reflects her selfless dedication to serving the underprivileged.
