Don't expect something out of the blue from a farmer in the rural hinterlands. He got the award for his contributions towards promoting the use of technology in farming and his activism in spreading the technical know-how to fellow farmers. Please read through  to understand why it is not applicable here, and why  specifically allows for winners of notable awards to have articles. The Padma Awards are handed out https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/as-many-as-12-farmers-including-horticulturists-hi-tech-farmers-given-padma-awards/articleshow/67704761.cms| to a select few in various sectors, based on the nominations received from the different states of India. To be among the 112 Padma Awardees, from the 50,000 odd nominees in a country of over a billion plus people is an achievement in itself. As demonstrated above he has however been receiving press even before he got this award, fulfilling the criteria of continuous coverage. What however needs to be noted is that a farmer receiving the Padma Shri is not a matter of interest for the mainstream media in India as it does not have much news value, but I believe that Wikipedia should be above such biases. And as always, the other Indian editors who frequent  are in hiding for fear of damaging their future 's. Bah
