1. The list of personnel being conferred Defence Decorations and Gallantry Awards
on the occasion of Republic Day 2022 is enclosed as Appendix for information.
2. The awards will be notified in the Gazette of India both in English and Hindi. The
name, personal number and regimental details on the Sanads and Medals have to be
inscribed in Hindi and the Hindi spellings of the name have to be the same as they
appear in the Gazette of India notifying the awards. Since it would not be possible to
make any alteration or amendment to the Sanad/Medal later on it is essential that the
Gazette Notification contains the correct spellings of the names i.e. as in the official
records of the recipients.
3. You are requested to ensure that the Hindi/English spellings of the names and
other particulars as written in the citations received from you are absolutely correct. If
any amendment thereto is required to be made, the same may be intimated to this
Headquarters by fastest means by 08 Feb 2022. As the Ministry of Defence proposes
to publish the Gazette Notification immediately after the announcement of awards, it is
imperative that changes in particulars of the awardees, if any, are intimated to this HQ
positively by 08 Feb 2022. After that date nil report will be assumed and the Gazette
Notification would by published as per the particulars given in the citation.
