Answer:
8-year-old Shivampet Ruchitha became the youngest person to receive the award this year. On July 24, 2014, Ruchita saved two of her school mates when a train hit their school bus. She noticed that their bus had stopped on a railway track and a train was coming towards them. Showing extraordinary presence of mind, she pushed two students out of the window and jumped off the bus herself too. Unfortunately, she could not save her younger sister who was sitting in the front row. Her younger brother sustained severe injuries, but he has recovered now. 16 students, the driver, and the conductor lost their lives in that accident. She was honoured with the Geeta Chopra award.
Answer:
If you saw someone drowning in water, would you jump to help them?
Or would you rather be an onlooker, even if you knew how to swim?
Think about the number of casualties that could have been averted through timely action by an onlooker. Which is why we really need to appreciate the fact that there are people who would jump to action without giving it a second thought when it comes to saving someone’s life.
So goes the story of one boy, shared by the Humans of Bombay page on Facebook, which would make us believe in angels amid humans. In an incident that happened last year, the young boy happened to witness a young girl drowning in a pool and crying for help.
Though he had no formal training, the little boy did not hesitate before diving in the deep side of the tank while many onlookers chose to stand and watch. After a great struggle, he managed to bring the girl to safety.
