Padma Awards

The Padma Awards are among India's highest civilian honours. They are announced every year on the eve of Republic Day in three grades: Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri. Since 2014 many awards have gone to grassroots workers whose names were little known outside their own districts.
