In December last year, the country lost its first CDS Bipin Rawat. He had died in a helicopter crash. Now to salute his bravery, he will be awarded Padma Vibhushan posthumously by the government. Apart from him, this time the government is going to posthumously award Padma Vibhushan to former UP Chief Minister and BJP veteran Kalyan Singh. He too passed away last year due to ill health.
India’s Chief Of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, vaccine makers Krishna Ella, Suchitra Ella, Cyrus Poonawalla, politicians Ghulam Nabi Azad, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, and Indian-origin Silicon Valley titans Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai were named for India’s top civilian awards on Tuesday, on the eve of the country’s 73rd Republic Day.
