Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and music legend SP Balasubramaniam among Padma Vibhushan winners this year, while former Assam CM Tarun Gogoi and prominent Shia preacher Maulana Kalbe Sadiq will be honoured with Padma Bhushan.
After Bharat Ratna, Padma Awards – Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri – are the highest civilian awards of the country. The Padma Awards selection committee’s recommendations are further sent to the Prime Minister and the President for final approval before the announcement of recipients on January 25 every year. President Ram Nath Kovind had approved the conferment of 141 Padma Awards in 2020.
These awards are conferred by the President at ceremonial functions which are held at Rashtrapati Bhawan usually around March/April every year.
This year the President has approved conferment of 119 Padma Awards including 1 duo case (in a duo case, the Award is counted as one) as per list below. The list comprises 7 Padma Vibhushan, 10 Padma Bhushan and 102 Padma Shri Awards. 29 of the awardees are women and the list also includes 10 persons from the category of Foreigners/NRI/PIO/OCI, 16 Posthumous awardees and 1 transgender awardee.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hailed the contribution of those conferred with the Padma awards, saying these exceptional individuals from different walks of life have brought qualitative changes in the lives of others.
“We are proud of all those who have been conferred the Padma Awards. India cherishes their contribution to the nation and humanity at large,” Prime Minister Modi said on Twitter. “These exceptional individuals from different walks of life have brought qualitative changes in the lives of others,” he said.
