Home Minister Amit Shah also extended his congratulations to the Padma awardees, commending them for creating exemplary instances and enhancing the nation’s pride with their service. Shah posted on X, “I extend my warmest congratulations to the change makers of our society who have been selected for the Padma Awards for their distinguished contributions to different fields. PM Modi has rationalized the Padma Awards ceremony to make it a platform to appreciate individuals setting pioneering examples for social change.”

He added, “The individuals conferred with the Padma Awards have not only created brilliant examples for others to follow but also have elevated the pride of the nation with their service.”

On the eve of Republic Day, former Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu, along with four others, including the late social worker and founder of Sulabh International Bindeshwar Pathak, received the Padma Vibhushan, the country’s second-highest civilian award.

The Padma Vibhushan was also awarded to popular Indian actress Vyjayantimala Bali, actor, film producer, and former politician Konidela Chiranjeevi, and classical Bharata Natyam dancer Padma Subrahmanyam.

Among the 17 recipients of the Padma Bhushan were Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty, Indian pop and playback singer Usha Uthup, former Supreme Court justice M Fathima Beevi (posthumous), and consultant in the department of cardiology Ashwin Balachand Mehta.

The Padma Shri, the fourth-highest honor, was conferred upon 110 recipients, including Khalil Ahamad, Badrappan M, Kaluram Bamaniya, Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, Naseem Bano, and Ramlal Bareth.
