Celebrating unsung heroes: Padma Shri awards

. Padma Shri, like all past years, maintains the Narendra Modi government's tradition of celebrating unsung heroes from remote parts of the country. From tribal reformers and environmentalists working silently for poor tribals or preserving the forests around them, to women of rural India who broke the glass ceiling, to medical practitioners who overcame personal tragedy to heal other victims, to Bhadu folk singer from Birbhum Ratan Kahar who struck fame in his Eighties after his composition ‘Boro Loker Biti Lo’ went viral on social media.
