On this Special Report, reporter Himanshu Mishra provides an exclusive look at the list of ‘unsung’ Padma awardees accessed by India Today ahead of Republic Day. The broadcast highlights extraordinary citizens who have worked at the grassroots level across various sectors including education, medicine, and environmental conservation. Himanshu Mishra notes, ‘These unsung heroes, every year, through Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they are awarded the Padma Awards’ to recognise those who remain away from the media spotlight. Key figures mentioned include Anke Gowda, a 75-year-old from Karnataka who established a massive private library, and Kailash Chand Pant, an environmentalist dedicated to Himalayan conservation. The report emphasises that since 2014, the focus has shifted towards identifying individuals who have made significant contributions to society and the welfare of the poor without seeking public recognition. The programme explores the diverse backgrounds of these awardees from states like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Assam, celebrating their dedication to nation-building.
