The Padma Awards in three categories- Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri are among the highest civilian awards of India and are announced every year on the occasion of India's Republic Day to the people who have made exceptional and distinguished contributions in their respective fields and are conferred every year by the President of India at ceremonial functions held at Rashtrapati Bhawan between March and April.

Padma Awards-2023 in Science & Engineering

The awards are conferred in various fields such as art, social work, public affairs, science and engineering, trade and industry, medicine, literature and education, sports, civil service, etc. For the year 2023, the President has approved conferment of 106 Padma Awards including 3 duo cases (in a duo case, the Award is counted as one) and the list comprises 6 Padma Vibhushan, 9 Padma Bhushan and 91 Padma Shri Awards. Nineteen of the awardees are women and the list also includes 2 persons from the category of Foreigners/NRI/PIO/OCI and 7 Posthumous awardees.

Though, recognition in every field is equally important but in the times of "Make in India" progressing towards self-reliant India, recognition in the field of science and engineering becomes more important from the scientific and engineering community point of view. Therefore, this article brings out the facts about those personalities who have been recognized by the government to be awarded Padma Awards-2023 (Padma Vibhushan-1, Padma Bhushan-1 and Padma Shri-8) from India & abroad in the field of science & engineering with an aim to motivate the readers to think and move forward in their career with an aim to emulate these personalities.
