Know how to nominate someone for Padma Awards, last date of nomination and much more.
Any Indian can now recommend any achiever for the prestigious Padma Awards, with the government throwing open the nomination process to general public to make it transparent and curb the crony culture of influence and lobbying.
The nominations can be made online but the nominators would be required to furnish their Aadhaar details for authenticity and accountability. Opening up of the nomination process to the general public will also help in identifying unsung or lesser known people of excellence, sources said. The government has already received over 1700 nominations.
Last date of nomination is September 15.
