New Delhi: The Union government on Saturday unveiled the first list of Padma Awards for the 76th Republic Day celebrations. The prestigious awards recognize a diverse range of individuals, including a centenarian freedom fighter, a pioneering fruit farmer, and a Paralympian gold medalist.

Among the awardees is Harvinder Singh, a para-archer from Kaithal, Haryana, affectionately known as “Kaithal ka Eklavya.” Singh made history by becoming the first Indian to win gold at the 2024 Paralympic Games.

Libia Lobo Sardesai, a key figure in Goa’s freedom struggle, has also been honored. Sardesai played a crucial role in establishing “Voz da Liberdade” (Voice of Freedom), an underground radio station, in 1955, mobilizing the people against Portuguese rule.

Dr. Neerja Bhatla, a Delhi-based gynecologist specializing in cervical cancer prevention and detection, has been recognized for her significant contributions to women’s healthcare.

Bhim Singh Bhavesh, a social worker from Bhojpur, has been awarded the Padma Shri for his tireless efforts in uplifting the marginalized Musahar community through his Nayee Asha foundation.

The list also includes P. Datchanamoorthy, a master of the Thavil, a South Indian classical percussion instrument, who has dedicated over five decades to enriching Indian classical music.

L. Hangthing, a fruit farmer from Noklak, Nagaland, has been honored for his pioneering efforts in cultivating non-native fruits in the region.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
