Requesting to nominate Late Sri Akshya Mohanty for Padma Awards 2023. Akshya Mohanty the legend of Odia music and a pride for Odias, has been deprived of the highest recognition of the Country ! There is hardly anyone more deserving than him to be given this recognition for his outstanding contribution to arts, literature and music in Odisha. Akshya was not only the best musician the state had seen but also an excellent writer, poet, story teller, movie maker and above all an excellent human being. Please circulate this further to reach the right place of decision makers.

Thank you!
