Complete list of Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Shri Awardees 2025
On the eve of Republic Day, the Padma Awards 2025 were presented, and vocalist Sharda Sinha received the Padma Vibhushan following his death. Among the legends who will get the Padma awards are singer Arijit Singh, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, actor Ajith Kumar, and the late vocalist Pankaj Udhas.
The 2025 Padma Awards, one of the nation's highest civilian awards, were announced by the Narendra Modi administration on Saturday. Seven Padma Vibhushan, 19 Padma Bhushan, and 113 Padma Shri recipients were announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs. In March and April of this year, Rashtrapati Bhavan will host ceremonial events when President Droupadi Murmu of India will present these prizes.
Among the seven recipients of the Padma Vibhushan award is the well-known folk singer Sharda Sinha, who received India's second-highest civilian distinction posthumously. Sharda, who was well-known for her Chhatth songs, died on November 5 of last year at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. She has received recognition for her contributions to the music industry.
Adwaita Charan Gadanayak, Ashok Laxman Saraf, Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, Barry Godfray John, Gokul Chandra Das, Farooq Ahmad Mir, Durga Charan Ranbir, Bharat Gupt, Guruvayur Dorai, Havesan Raghu, Jaspinder Narula, Joynacharan Bathari, and Nirmala Devi are among the 113 Padma Shri recipients. Ricky Kej and singer Arijit Singh were honoured for their contributions to the music industry.
President Droupadi Murmu will confer the awards in a grand ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan later this year. The recipients have expressed their deep gratitude and pledged to continue their contributions toward the nation’s progress.
