Among the awardees were also those who stood up for social justice, be it the 18-year old, visually impaired Krishna Nimesh Sheth of Maharashtra or 13-year-old Krishna Menariya of Rajasthan who fought against child marriage.

The ICCW’s six other special awards include ICCW Markandeya Award, ICCW Prahalada Award, ICCW Eklavya Award, ICCW Abhimanyu Award, ICCW Shravan Award, ICCW Dhruva Award.

The ‘National Awards for Bravery’ was started by ICCW to give due recognition to the children who distinguish themselves by performing outstanding deeds of bravery and meritorious service and to inspire other children to their example.

It was in 1957 that two children — a boy and a girl — were rewarded by the first Prime Minister of India for their presence of mind and courage. Since then ICCW confers national awards for children on performing acts of bravery every year, it said.
