bravery award

“Both kids wanted to help the passengers. They ran from one coach to [the] other to provide water and food items to the passengers."

While flight would be the natural reaction of most people, one 7-year-old boy became a local hero after rescuing his friend from a vicious leopard attack in the village of Arathiya in the Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat.

They saved their friends, parents, and neighbours from drowning, electrocution, thieves and a lot more – these 25 children, who were honoured with the National Bravery Award this year, displayed immense courage and risked their lives to protect their loved ones. Here are their awesome stories.

33 children from Karnataka were awarded for their acts of bravery by the Governor, Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala, on the occasion of Children's Day this year. Two of them are Siddesh Manjunath and Siya Vamanasa Khode. This is how they displayed immense courage and presence of mind in dangerous situations
