NEW DELHI: Former deputy chief minister of Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi, folk singer Sharda Sinha, and hockey player PR Sreejesh are among the 139 people who will be conferred with the Padma awards, one of the highest civilian awards which were announced on the eve of the 76th Republic Day on Saturday.
Sharda Sinha, and veteran Malayalam author MT Vasudevan Nair who died last December has been posthumously honoured with Padma Vibhushan. Sinha, known for her iconic Chhath songs, passed away on November 5 last year at Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
In a career spanning over seven decades, Nair authored nine novels, 19 collections of short stories, directed six films, wrote around 54 screenplays, and published several collections of essays and memoirs.
Out of the 139 Padma awards, seven people will receive the Padma Vibhushan, while 19 people will receive the Padma Bhushan and 113 people will be conferred with the Padma Shri this year.
The President of India confers these awards at ceremonial functions held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in March-April this year.
