Answers
Answer:
Name: Om Prakash Yadav Age: 11 Feat: Pulled children out of burning van
He received burn injuries on his face, back and arms, is still recuperating, hasn't received proper medical treatment and lost one year of school.
But ask him would he put his life in danger once again if caught in a similar situation? 'Everytime,' Om Prakash says.
The boy, a Class VII student and the son of a Uttar Pradesh farmer, pulled out several of his friends alive out of a burning van, caring little about his own safety.
On September 4, 2010, Om Prakash was going to school along with other students in a Maruti van. But all of a sudden, the van caught fire because of a short circuit in the gas kit.
The driver immediately opened his door and fled. But not Om Prakash.
He broke open the van door and pulled out the others, caring little about the flames that had spread to his face, back and arms.
He saved eight children. For his bravery, he has won the Sanjay Chopra Award.
Name: Mittal Patadiya Age: 12 Feat: Fought assailants

Ask her to recount the incident that won her the prestigious Geeta Chopra Award, the girl from Ahmedabad doesn't talk about the 351 stitches on her wound but how she regrets the fact that one of the assailants managed to escape.
On November 3, 2010, Tahiliani (Mittal's foster mother) answered the door after the bell rang.
Standing outside was Ajit Singh, a driver she knew, and two other men.
He asked for water. Mittal went to fetch it. The men then pushed Tahiliani inside and shut the door.
They started beating her, demanding money. Mittal immediately caught one of the men by his hair.

Blood oozing out of her neck, she held on to the man and managed to open the door.
Neighbours caught Singh and one of the accomplices. Mittal is now called 'Jhansi ki Rani'.
