The nominations to the Honours are welcome from citizens. The Prime Minister would like the list to reflect the diversity of the society in general including women and men from all segments of the society.
There are just 1000 awards on the list of Prime Ministers So only those who have shown exceptional leadership are likely to be successful. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the efforts of the other candidates are not appreciated or are not noticed.
The possibility of submitting a nomination is available at anytime. The receipt of your candidature will be acknowledged in 28 days. However, it’s not possible for you to provide additional details, or reports on progress regarding your nomination.
