The government has invited nominations for the Padma Awards for 2017, for which the last date is September 15.
The nominations can only be sent online and not through any other channel, a Union Home Ministry statement said.
"It has been decided that from this year, the nominations/recommendations for the Padma Awards will be received online only on an electronic management system designed by the MHA. No other mode of nomination/recommendation will be accepted," it said.
Nominations received after September 15 will not be considered.
The rules relating to these awards are available on the ministry website.
