Answers
Answer:
Every year on November 14, the government announces the names of the recipients of the annual bravery awards. These are presented to around 25 children who are below the age of 16 years in recognition of their meritorious acts of bravery against all the odds.
But do you know how the awards came into being in the first place?
Very few people in India know about Harish Chandra Mehra, a resident of Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, whose bravery and quick action not only saved the life of India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru but also paved the way for the government to institute Bravery Awards.
The year was 1957, and Nehru was attending a Ramleela performance, where 14-year-old Harish, who was a Boy scout, was guarding the VIP enclosure.
