Government Of India recently conferred Padma awards on different people who have played significant role in their areas over many many years. While there have been controversies on people selected for the award, here is one awardee who needs no justification at all.
Dr. V. Shanta, Chairperson of Adyar Cancer Institute, has been conferred with Padma Vibhushan which is the second highest civilian award in our country.
Coming in the family of Noble Laureate, Sir C.V Raman and S. Chandrashekar, Dr. Shanta dedicated her life treating cancer patients for the last 60 years with care and compassion. She is a very down to earth person and easily approachable.
This is probably an excellent example of who should be given a Padma award!
Here is a short film on one of her achievements
Proud to be an Indian!
Jai Hind!
