Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday said that there is a transformational change in the Padma Awards as "People`s Padma." Dhankar, who was in Guwahati on Tuesday for the conferment of the highest state civil awards--Assam Baibhav, Assam Saurav, and Assam Gaurav--said that the country has now escaped the time when `part patronage used to be the driving force and event management used to secure Padmas`.

"We have noticed in recent times, there is a transformational change in the Padma Awards to the "People`s Padma". We know the days when part patronage used to be the driving force, event management used to secure Padmas. But I see here such a massive, genuine, authentic transformational mechanism for giving awards. Congratulations to those who have done it," the Vice President of India said.
