Thiruvananthapuram: The Government Government has asked the state government to nominate less known talents, whose excellence and achievements need to be recognized but missed because they have a low profile, while sending a name for Padma award, the highest civilian award in the country.
“It has been observed in the past that the nominees were received in connection with a large number of people, however, there may be some talented people who are not considered even though there are extraordinary contributions in the field.
Often many such people may be ignored mainly for the reason that they might not seek publicity or attention in the public domain, “a letter from the Joint Secretary (MHA) RK Singh for Secretary of the Head of VP Joy.
The state government has also been asked to form a search committee to identify, consider and resolve nominees from the state for the Padma award that will be announced at the evening of the Republic, next year.
The state has also been told to remember several criteria while choosing nominations.
The letter has directed that the criteria must always be a “plus advantage” and the existence of public service elements in the achievement of people considered to be the desired factor.
The central government has also asked the state to identify talents from women, weaker than society, SCS and STS, etc.
