The Padma Awards are one of the highest civilian honours of India announced annually on the eve of Republic Day.

Padma Awards, which were instituted in the year 1954, is announced every year except for brief interruption(s) during the years 1978 and 1979 and 1993 to 1997.

The award is given in three categories, namely,

📌Padma Vibhushan for exceptional and distinguished service
📌Padma Bhushan for distinguished service of a high order; and
📌Padma Shri for distinguished service.

The Padma Awards are conferred on the recommendations made by the Padma Awards Committee, which is constituted by the Prime Minister every year.

The nomination process is open to the public. Even self-nomination can be made.

Government servants including those working with PSUs, except doctors and scientists, are not eligible for these Awards.

The award is normally not conferred posthumously. However, in highly deserving cases, the Government could consider giving an award posthumously.

A higher category of Padma award can be conferred on a person only where a period of at least five years has elapsed since conferment of the earlier Padma award. However, in highly deserving cases, a relaxation can be made by the Awards Committee.

The awards are presented by the President of India usually in the month of March/April every year where the awardees are presented a Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a medallion.

The names of the awardees are published in the Gazette of India on the day of the presentation ceremony.

The total number of awards to be given in a year (excluding posthumous awards and to NRI/foreigners/OCIs) should not be more than 120.

The award does not amount to a title and cannot be used as a suffix or prefix to the awardees’ name

📖 To all my dear aspirants,

☑️As I sit back and reflect, I often wonder: would I have ever truly understood the significance of the Constitution and its profound values had I not embarked on this UPSC journey?

My honest answer is a resounding no.

Take a moment to think about it. Before we entered this journey, most of us lived in a bubble of ignorance, taking our democratic framework for granted. Many of us didn’t know the difference between the President and the Prime Minister, as even Kanishak Kataria (AIR 1) once candidly admitted. We were blissfully unaware of the ideas and principles that form the backbone of our societal structures.

But today, we stand different. Today, we know a thing or two about the Constitution, its Preamble, its ideals, and the stories of struggles behind it. We now understand the principles that hold this diverse nation together—the values of justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity that it enshrines.

No matter where you are in your preparation—whether at the start, in the middle, or nearing the end—this journey has already transformed you. It has made you conscious, empowered, and aware of things that most around us may never even pause to think about. How many people truly understand why today, November 26, is celebrated as Constitution Day? Not many.

This awareness comes with responsibility. It is now our duty to not only cherish these values but also embody them in our actions and thoughts. Let us not just study the Constitution as a document for an exam but uphold it as a guide for our lives, ensuring that its essence reflects in how we contribute to society.

So, dear friends, on this Constitution Day, take a moment to honor the ideals that unite us. Let us continue this journey with a sense of purpose and pride, knowing that we are preparing not just to clear an exam but to serve the nation and protect the values that make India what it is today.

🔺A five-judge bench led by the Chief justice upheld the constitutional validity of Section 6 A of Citizenship act ,1955 . The Court’s decision determined the status of immigrants in Assam as well as the extent of Parliament’s power to make citizenship laws.

📌Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 was the culmination of decades of turbulent history in the state concerning immigration and citizenship. This provision grants citizenship to immigrants who entered Assam from Bangladesh before 24 March 1971.

📌The question in the case is whether Section 6A singles out Assam by providing a specific cut-off date for citizenship.

📌The lead petitioner, All Assam Students Union argued that the provision has facilitated mass immigration from Bangladesh and deprived indigenous Assamese of job opportunities and resources.

📌The Union, on its part, contended that Section 6A is valid as Article 11 of the Constitution of India allows Parliament to frame laws pertaining to citizenship.

📌Advocate Shadan Farasat appearing for the Social Justice Forum also contended that “cultural exclusivity” was not a justification enough to strike down the provision.


What is Constitution Bench ?

Article 145 (3) The minimum number of Judges who are to sit for the purpose of deciding any case involving a substantial question of law as to the interpretation of this Constitution

They are temporary benches which gets dissolved once a legal question or issue referred to them is resolved.
