TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Online nominations and recommendations for the Padma Awards 2023 have opened and the last date for submission is September 15, the Union Home Ministry said in a statement Monday. Asking general public to send nominations and recommendations for Padma awards, the ministry said they can be filed online only on the Rashtriya Puruskar Portal (https://awards.gov.in ).
Instituted in 1954, the three Padma awards — Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri — are amongst the highest civilian awards of the country. These are announced on the occasion of the Republic Day every year. The award seeks to recognise ‘work of distinction’ and is given for exceptional achievements and service in all fields and disciplines, such as, art, literature and education, sports, medicine, social work, science and engineering, public affairs, civil service, trade and industry etc.
All persons without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex are eligible for these Awards. Government servants including those working with Public Sector Undertakings, except doctors and scientists, are not eligible for Padma awards. The Modi government is committed to transform Padma awards into “People’s Padma”, the statement said. All citizens are, therefore, requested to make nominations and recommendations, including self-nomination, it said.
