Sources have stated that the Centre on Wednesday had announced the list of Padma awardees which included names of Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, singers Kailash Kher and Anuradha Paudwal. Cricketer Virat Kholi, wrestler Sakshi Malik and gymnast Dipa Karmakar are also being felicitated with Padma awards this year.



Meanwhile the government had begun inviting nominations for the awards in May last year and received around 5,000 entries, from which 500 names were shortlisted in December. This year, the government has also conferred the award to some personalities who have done exceptional work but are not very popular names. These include 75 year old Sukri Bommagowda, known as the nightingale of the Halakki Vokkaliga tribes, Birkha Bahadur Limboo Muringla from Sikkim, among others.
