Padma Awards 2022: CDS Bipin Rawat gets Padma Vibhushan
Late Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat had died in a chopper crash last month.

The central government on Tuesday announced Padma Awards a day ahead of the 73rd Republic Day. Late Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat—who died in a chopper crash last month—was among those honored with Padma Vibhushan. Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh (posthumously), former Gita Press chairperson Radheyshyam Khemka (posthumously), and Indian classical vocalist Prabha Atre were also awarded Padma Vibhushan.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • The Padma Awards are conferred in three categories every year in various disciplines such as art, science and engineering, trade and industry, medicine, literature and education, sports, etc.
  • The three categories are the Padma Vibhushan, the Padma Bhushan, and the Padma Shri, which are the second-highest, the third-highest, and the fourth-highest civilian honors in India, respectively.
  • The highest civilian honor is the Bharat Ratna.
