Bravery doesn’t define the age. Every year, India honours few of its courageous and brave kids who have stood aloof for their unmatched valor by National Bravery Award.
Mhonbeni Ezung, 8, is among 24 children to receive the National bravery award on Sunday for rescuing her drowning grandmother from a river at Chudi village in Wokha district of Nagaland.
Being the youngest receiver of bravery award this year, Mhonbeni is surely going to cherish this moment for lifetime.
Even PM Narendra Modi couldn’t resist himself from praising this young girl. “A touching deed of bravery! Mhonbeni Ezung saved the life of her grandmother, who fell into a river.”, tweeted Modi.
Mhnobeni received a medal, certificate and cash under the scheme and will be granted financial assistance until she completes her schooling as a token for her bravery.
The National Bravery Award Scheme is an endevour by the Indian Council for child Welfare to give due recognition to the children who show exemplary courage and perform meritorious service to inspire others to emulate their example.
There are total four girls including Mhnobenzi among 24 kids who have received bravery award this year.
