Lucknow, April 22 (IANS) Prof R.K. Dhiman, Director, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow, is among the 12 recipients of Padma Shri from Uttar Pradesh.
Prof Dhiman said: “I am very happy to know that my work is getting recognised. My work in eradication of Hepatitis C in 22 districts of Punjab, Covid management in Lucknow and starting organ donation campaign by setting up SOTTO has been recognised by the government. This award will inspire me to work harder.”
Babu Ram Yadav, a brass Marori craftsperson from Moradabad, who is being conferred the Padma Shri, said: “My art has won me a great recognition. I am happy about the award.”
He has over six decades of experience in creating intricate brass artefacts using traditional crafting techniques.
Ram Chet Chaudhary, 79, is a Gorakhpur-based retired agricultural scientist who has been awarded the Padma Shri in the science and engineering category. As per his X handle, he is currently working as the chairman of the Participatory Rural Development Foundation, an NGO in Gorakhpur.
