sex are eligible for these Awards. Government servants including those working with PSUs, except
Doctors and Scientists, are not eligible for Padma Awards.
The Government is committed to transform Padma Awards into “People’s Padma”. All citizens are,
therefore, requested to make nominations/recommendations, including self-nomination. Concerted
efforts may be made to identify talented persons whose excellence and achievements really
deserve to be recognized from amongst women, weaker sections of the society, SCs & STs,
divyang persons and who are doing selfless service to the society.
The nominations/recommendations should contain all relevant details specified in the format
available on the above said Portal, including a citation in narrative form (maximum 800 words),

recommended in her/his respective field/discipline.
