The Government of India on Sunday released the full list of winners of the Padma Awards for 2026, a day before the 77th Republic Day celebrations across the nation.
The full list consists of those awarded India's highest civilian honours after the Bharat Ratna—the Padma Bhushan, the Padma Vibhushan, and the Padma Shri, respectively.
The awards recognise exceptional service to a variety of fields. The winners will be felicitated in a ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on a later date.
