Tough To Get Padma Awards Now

In the past few years, there have been a lot of controversies involving Padma awardees.

Considered to be prestigious awards conferred by the Government of India on distinguished personalities from various fields, the partisan attitude of the awards has given rise to one too many controversies.

So, the government has decided to raise the bar for the awards and the awardees too must put in some extra effort to impress the government.

For starters, they will have to submit a 800 word citation as to why they deserve the award.

The government also wants them to cite not just their distinctions and achievements, but also wants them to include specific works published in indexed reputed journals, welfare work done for society and details of any other national or state awards.

Well, surely, the government is trying to do its bit to counter the allegations and future Padma awardees will have to prove why they deserve the coveted awards.
