Padma Awards 2021
India’s highest civilian awards, the Padma Award, are given in three categories; Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Shri. Awards are given to honour individuals from a variety of fields, such as art, social work, public affairs, science, and politics. With them being India’s highest civilian awards, you probably won’t expect non-Indian citizens to be accorded with the honour. However, not just one to two, but ten foreign nationals, OCI, NRI, PIO’s have been honoured this year.
Some of the highest civilian honours in India, the Padma awards, were conferred on 119 recipients in 2021. A ceremony to honour the awardees could not be held in 2020 owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. On Sunday, the Government of India announced that four separate ceremonies would be held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on October 8 and October 9 to honour recipients of the Padma awards.
