PADMA AWARDS FOR UNSUNG HEROES
·         For the first time, Padma Awards became People’s Awards by opening the doors to unsung heroes.
·         For the first time in the 62-year old history of Padma Awards, ordinary citizens were also given the opportunity to nominate others.
·         Previously only Union Ministers, MoS, Chief Ministers, Governors, Members of Parliament, previous recipients and important persons could nominate others for the Awards.
·         As a result, exemplary people who normally went unrecognized were honored for the first time. E.g. Shri Karimul Hak, who runs a ‘Bike-Ambulance-service’ for the people of Dhalabari Village in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal
