The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced the Padma awardees for the year 2022 on the eve of the country’s 73rd Republic Day celebration. The Padma Awards are conferred by the President of India every year in ceremonial functions held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
This year, the Union Ministry has announced 128 recipients which include 4 Padma Vibhushan, 17 Padma Bhushan, and 107 Padma Shri Awards. The notable winners include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Olympic Gold Medallist Neeraj Chopra, vaccine makers Cyrus Poonawalla of the Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech founders Krishna Ella and Suchitra Ella, and more.
Among the recipients of the Padma awards, 34 awardees are women, 13 are Posthumous, and 10 are from the category of Foreigners/NRI/PIO/OCI.
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Late Shri Kalyan Singh and India’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat were awarded the Padma Vibhushan posthumously. Bipin Rawat had lost his life in a helicopter crash last month.
