National Bravery Awards: कोई भाई की खातिर लड़ा तेंदुए से, किसी बच्चे ने जलती कार और बाढ़ से बचाई लोगों की जान

National bravery awards: राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार भारतीय बहादुर बच्चों को दिया जाता है। जिन्होंने अपनी जान की परवाह न करते हुए और अपनी उम्र से बढ़कर वीरता की कोई मिसाल पेश की हो।.

पिछले 2 सालों से आयोजित नहीं हो रहा राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार समारोह इस वर्ष फिर से आयोजित होने जा रहा है। गौरतलब है इस बार पिछले दो सालों सहित कुल 56 राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार बालकों को दिए जाएंगे। इसमें 2020 के 22, 2021 के 16 और 2022 के 18 राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार शामिल हैं। आइये जानते हैं इनमें से ऐसे तीन बाल वीरों की कहानी।

क्या है राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार?

भारत में, राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार भारतीय बाल कल्याण परिषद (ICCW) द्वारा प्रतिवर्ष 25 वीर बच्चों को दिए जाने वाले पुरस्कारों का एक समूह है, जिन्होंने कठिन परिस्थितियों में बहादुरी दिखाई है। पुरस्कार के तौर पर विजेताओं को एक पदक, एक प्रमाण पत्र और एक नकद पुरस्कार मिलता है। पुरस्कार भारतीय प्रधानमंत्री द्वारा प्रत्येक वर्ष गणतंत्र दिवस के दिन प्रदान किए जाते हैं। विजेताओं का चयन पूरे देश से किया जाता है और बच्चे की आयु 6-18 वर्ष के बीच होनी चाहिए।

भाई के लिए तेंदुआ से लड़े नितिन

12 जुलाई 2021 को रुद्रप्रयाग के निवासी नितिन और उसका भाई, नारी देवी चंडिका मंदिर में महायज्ञ के लिए जा रहे थे। रास्ते में नितिन को प्यास लगी और वह पानी पीने के लिए रुक गया। मगर उसका भाई आगे निकल गया। जहां नितिन पानी पीने के लिए रुका, उससे कुछ दूरी पर ही एक तेंदुआ घात लगाए बैठा था। नितिन को इस बात की भनक तक नहीं थी कि उसके आसपास कोई जंगली जानवर भी है। नितिन को अकेला देखते हुए तेंदुए ने उस पर हमला कर दिया।

नितिन ने बचने के लिए बहुत संघर्ष किया। खून से लथपथ होने के बावजूद नितिन ने तेंदुए के दोनों पैर पकड़ लिए और अपनी जिंदगी की लड़ाई लड़ता रहा। जैसे ही नितिन के भाई ने उसकी चीखें सुनी तो वह भागते हुए नितिन के पास पहुंचा और उसने तेंदुए पर एक पत्थर से वार किया। जिसके बाद तेंदुए ने नितिन को छोड़ उसके भाई को अपना निशाना बना लिया। दरअसल, तेंदुए ने नितिन के भाई पर बहुत तेजी से हमला किया था। अपने भाई की जान खतरे में देख नितिन ने पास में पड़ी एक लकड़ी उठाई और तेंदुए पर बहुत तेजी से फेंकी। चीखना-चिल्लाना सुनकर आसपास के गांव वाले भाग कर उनके पास आ गए और भीड़ को देखकर तेंदुआ जंगल की तरफ भाग गया। नितिन ने जब यह साहस दिखाया तब उसकी उम्र महज 16 वर्ष थी।

जलती कार से 4 बच्चों को निकाला बाहर

यह बहादुरी की दास्तां पंजाब के संगरूर जिले में अमनदीप कौर की है। दरअसल, 15 फरवरी 2020 को एक वैन में आग लग गई थी और उसमें 12 स्कूली बच्चे सवार थे। अमनदीप की कम उम्र होने के बावजूद उनका हौसला सबसे ज्यादा था। उन्होंने अपनी जान की परवाह न करते हुए उस जलती वैन से 4 बच्चों की जान बचा कर अपनी वीरता दिखाई। उस वैन से अमनदीप द्वारा बचाए चार बच्चों सहित आठ बच्चों को रेस्क्यू कर लिया गया। मगर दुर्भाग्य से 4 बच्चों ने अपनी जान गंवा दी।

जब अमनदीप से इस हादसे के बारे में पूछा गया तब उन्होंने कहा कि "जैसे ही वैन चली, मैंने सर (शिक्षक-सह-चालक दलबीर सिंह) से कहा कि वैन से कुछ गंध आ रही है... लेकिन ड्राइवर ने वैन चलाना शुरू कर दिया। मैंने फिर दोहराया कि बदबू बढ़ रही है, लेकिन वह इधर-उधर देखने लगे और फिर अपने पास बैठे नाबालिग बच्चों को देखने लगे। बाद में आग दिखाई दी और हमें वैन के शीशे तोड़कर बाहर निकलने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा।" उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि "मैंने एक खिड़की तोड़ी और बाहर निकल गई। फिर मैंने चार बच्चों को बाहर आने में मदद की। कुछ और लोग भी थे जो मदद के लिए आए थे। मैं उन चारों बच्चों को लेकर स्कूल की बिल्डिंग की तरफ भागी जो फूट-फूट कर रो रहे थे।"

बाढ़ में एक महिला और उसके बच्चे की बचाई जान

जुलाई 2019 में असम के सोनितपुर में भयंकर बाढ़ आई हुई थी। तब वहां के रहने वाले 10 वर्षीय उत्तम टंटी ने बाढ़ में फंसी एक महिला और उसकी 3 वर्षीय बच्ची की जान बचाई थी। दरअसल, दिघलीजन नदी का बाढ़ के कारण बहाव बहुत तेज और जलस्तर ऊंचा हो गया था। बावजूद इसके, अंजलि नाम की एक महिला अपनी दो बेटियों- रिया (3 वर्षीय) और दिप्ता (18 माह) के साथ नदी पार करने की कोशिश कर रही थी। इस दौरान उनका बैलेंस बिगड़ गया और अपनी दोनों बेटियों के साथ नदी के बहाव में बह गई।

उत्तम ने जब महिला और उसकी दो बेटियों को नदी के बहाव में बहते देखा तब उसने बिना समय गवाएं पानी में छलांग मार दी और अंजलि और उसकी 3 साल की बेटी को नदी किनारे खींच लाया। दुर्भाग्य से अंजलि ने अपनी 18 माह की बेटी दिप्ता को खो दिया क्योंकि वह नदी के बहुत तेज बहाव के साथ बह गई। उत्तम से जब उनके इस साहसी कार्य के बारे में पूछा गया तब उन्होंने कहा कि "मैं छुट्टियों के दौरान अपने धान के खेत में अपने परिवार की मदद करता हूं। मैं किसी की भी जान बचाने के लिए नदी में गोता लगा सकता हूं, मुझे डूबने का डर नहीं है।"

राष्ट्रपति 22 नन्हें बहादुरों को देंगे राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार

राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरस्कार 2019 के लिए 10 लड़कियों और 12 लड़कों समेत 22 बच्चों को नामित किया गया है. इंडियन काउंसिल फॉर चाइल्ड वेलफेयर (ICCW) ने जिन 22 बच्चों को चुना है, उनमें से एक को यह पुरस्कार मरणोपरांत दिया जाएगा.

राष्ट्रीय बाल वीरता पुरस्कार के लिए चयनित बच्चे

कमलजीत संधू

21 जनवरी 2020,
(अपडेटेड 21 जनवरी 2020, 11:20 PM IST)

22 बच्चों में से 10 लड़कियां
एक को मरणोपरांत अवॉर्ड

ये सभी बहादुर बच्चे देश के 12 अलग अलग राज्यों से हैं. केरल के रहने वाले 15 वर्षीय मास्टर आदित्य भी इस पुरस्कार से सम्मानित किए जाएंगे. वे 15 साल के हैं. उन्होंने साल 2019 में नेपाल में 40 लोगों की जान बचाई थी जब एक टूरिस्ट बस में आग लग गई थी. बस सीमा से 50 किलोमीटर पहले जब भारतीय सीमा में पहुंचने वाली थी, तभी उसमें आग लग गई थी.

बस में आग लगते ही ड्राइवर भाग गया, तब आदित्य ने हथौड़े से पीछे की खिड़की तोड़कर 40 यात्रियों की जान बचाई थी. इस हादसे में बस का डीजल टैंक फट गया था, जिससे पूरी बस आग के गोले में बदल गई और जलकर राख हो गई. अपने भविष्य के सपने को लेकर आदित्य मुस्कराते हुए कहते हैं, "मैं इंडियन एयरफोर्स ज्वाइन करना चाहता हूं." वे अपनी योजना समझाते हुए कहते हैं, "मैं स्कॉलरशिप का इस्तेमाल करके मेहनत से पढ़ाई करूंगा."

मोहम्मद मोहसिन को मरणोपरांत वीरता पुरस्कार

केरल के ही एक और बहादुर बच्चे को यह पुरस्कार मिला है, लेकिन वह इतना सौभाग्यशाली नहीं था. मोहम्मद मोहसिन अकेले ऐसे वीरता पुरस्कार विजेता हैं, जिन्हें यह पुरस्कार मरणोपरांत दिया जाएगा. मोहसिन को अभिमन्यु अवॉर्ड से नवाजा जाएगा. कोझिकोड में मोहसिन ने गहरे समुद्र में डूब रहे अपने तीन दोस्तों को बचाने के लिए अपनी जान दांव पर लगा दी थी. तीनों दोस्त तो बच गए, लेकिन दोस्तों की जान की कीमत मोहसिन को अपनी जान देकर चुकानी पड़ी. मोहसिन का परिवार उसकी बहादुरी को लेकर भावुक भी है और उसके न होने से दुखी भी है. उनके पिता भावुक होकर कहते हैं, "मेरे बच्चे को एक बहादुरी से भरी मौत नसीब हुई. यह पुरस्कार सभी बहादुर बच्चों के लिए है."

जम्मू कश्मीर के भी दो बहादुर

यह पुरस्कार पाने वाले दो बच्चे जम्मू कश्मीर के हैं. सरताज मोहिउद्दीन मुगल और मुदासिर अशरफ. सरताज का परिवार लाइन ऑफ कंट्रोल (LoC) पर रहता है. सरताज ने पाकिस्तान की ओर से हो रही गोलीबारी में फंसे अपने परिवार को बचाया था. उनके घर पर एक शेल आकर गिरा और घर ध्वस्त हो गया, लेकिन सरताज ने अपने परिवार को वहां से सुरक्षित निकाल लिया. इसी तरह मुदासिर ने फरवरी 2019 में बडगाम में इंडियन एयर फोर्स की स्ट्राइक के दौरान जवानों को बचाने में उनकी मदद की थी.

13 साल की बच्ची को भी मिलेगा पुरस्कार

अलाइका ने मात्र 13 साल की उम्र में अपने परिवार की जान बचाई थी, जब उनकी कार का एक्सीडेंट हो गया था. अलाइका को यह पुरस्कार मिलने पर उनके परिवार को गर्व महसूस हो रहा है. परिवार का कहना है, "वह हमारी इकलौती बेटी है. वह हमारी बेटी भी है और बेटा भी. उसने यह साबित किया है कि लड़कियां लड़कों से कहीं भी कमतर नहीं होतीं."

इस साल 5 पुरस्कारों की घोषणा

ICCW संस्था ने इस साल पांच नए पुरस्कारों की शुरुआत की है: मार्कंडेय अवॉर्ड, ध्रुव अवॉर्ड, अभिमन्यु अवॉर्ड, प्रह्लाद अवॉर्ड और श्रवण अवॉर्ड. ICCW मार्कंडेय अवॉर्ड उत्तराखंड की 10 वर्षीय राखी को दिया जा रहा है. राखी ने तेंदुए के हमले से अपने 4 साल के भाई को बचाया था. तेंदुए से भाई को बचाने में राखी को गंभीर चोट आई थी. इसी तरह ध्रुव अवॉर्ड 16 साल की पूर्णिमा गिरि और 15 साल की सबिता गिरि को दिया जाएगा. इन दोनों ने मिलकर मगरमच्छों से भरी नदी में से 12 लोगों को डूबने से बचाया था. यह हादसा नाव के डूबने की वजह से हुआ था.

10 साल की बच्ची ने ट्रेन एक्सीडेंट में बच्चे की जान

प्रह्लाद अवॉर्ड के लिए 10 वर्षीय श्रीमति बादरा को चुना गया है. बादरा ने एक ट्रेन एक्सीडेंट में जान गंवाने वाले एक बच्चे को बहादुरी से मदद की जिससे उसकी जान बचाई जा सकी. कश्मीर के सरताज को श्रवण अवॉर्ड से नवाजा जाएगा.

इन्हें भी मिलेगा बहादुरी का पुरस्कार

पुरस्कार पाने वाले अन्य बच्चों में असम के मास्टर श्री कमल कृष्ण दास, छत्तीसगढ़ की कांति पैकरा और वर्णेश्वरी निर्मलकर, कर्नाटक की आरती किरण सेठ और मास्टर वेंकटेश, केरल के मास्टर फतह पीके, महाराष्ट्र की जेन सदावर्ते और मास्टर आकाश मछींद्र खिल्लारे को दिया जाएगा. इसके अलावा मिजोरम के तीन बच्चों और मणिपुर व मेघालय से एक एक बच्चों को वीरता पुरस्कार के लिए चुना गया है.

कैसे हुई थी वीरता पुरस्कारों की शुरुआत

यह पुरस्कार भारत के पहले प्रधानमंत्री जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने शुरू किया था. 2 अक्टूबर, 1957 को गांधी जयंती के दिन नेहरू लाल किले पर दिल्ली के रामलीला मैदान का प्रदर्शन देख रहे थे. प्रदर्शन के दौरान शार्ट सर्किट के कारण शामियाने में आग लग गई. इसी दौरान एक 14 साल के हरिश्चंद्र मेहरा ने बड़ी फुर्ती से अपने चाकू की मदद से शामियाने को फाड़कर बाहर निकलने की जगह बनाई और शामियाने में फंसे सैकड़ों लोगों की जान बचाई.

इस घटना से नेहरू बहुत प्रभावित हुए. उन्होंने अधिकारियों को आदेश दिया एक ऐसी संस्था की स्थापना करें जो देश के बहादुर बच्चों को पुरस्कृत करे. देश का पहला आधिकारिक वीरता पुरस्कार हरिश्चंद्र मेहरा और एक अन्य बच्चे को दिया गया था. यह पुरस्कार 4 फरवरी, 1958 को खुद नेहरू ने प्रदान किया था. इंडियन काउंसिल फॉर चाइल्ड वेल्फेयर की तरह से तब से यह परंपरा जारी है. इस पुरस्कार के अंतर्गत एक मेडल, प्रमाणपत्र और रुपये दिए जाते हैं.

Inspiring Stories of Children who Receive National Bravery Awards 2019 from President of India

Early this month, we at Travel Beats covered a story on how 11-year-old Indian American Advaik Nandikotkur saved a 34-year-old adult from drowning. The inspirational story about the boy’s heroic act elicited so overwhelming response from all quarters that it went viral on social media. Such inspiring stories of children and their achievements are galore in India. It is evident from the list of 26 Indian kids who President Ram Nath Kovind honored with innovation and bravery awards at the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar ceremony in New Delhi yesterday.

Among the 26 children awarded at the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar ceremony 2019 are 10-year-old Adrika Goyal and 14-year-old Kartik Goyal. They have jointly been honored with the Bal Shakti Puraskar for their exemplary act of bravery and selflessness during a riot. We at Travel Beats, an Indian Diaspora portal by Indian Eagle Travel , handpicked few other young honorees to share their inspiring stories.

Bravery Award: Adrika Goyal and Kartik Goyal

National Bravery Awards 2019, Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar recipients 2019, Adrika Goyal Kartik Goyal

Morena, a town in Madhya Pradesh witnessed the worst and the best on April 2, 2018. A socio-political agitation was raging in different parts of north and central India, in protest against the dilution of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Act. A riot ensued from the agitation and hit the pulse of Morena town in Madhya Pradesh. The rioters blocked the passage of the Uttar Pradesh- Chhattisgarh Express train, pelted stoned at the coaches profusely, and held the passengers captive.

The innocent sibling duo – Adrika and Kartik – who live nearby Morena Railway Station, came to the rescue of the passengers who were left hungry and thirsty.

They rushed home to fetch food and water for the passengers. Risking their own safety in the hands of the rioting goons, Adrika Goyal and Kartik Goyal ran from one coach to the other serving food and water to the passengers. Inspired by the kids, some of the locals joined them on the humanitarian errand. Naturally, the Goyal siblings deserved to have received the bravery award from none other than President Kovind.

Among the awardees, Adrika Goyal and Kartik Goyal have other feathers in their caps. Kartik holds a national distinction of being the youngest sketcher, and Adrika is the district-level brand ambassador of the ‘Save Girl Child’ campaign.

Social Service Award: Eiha Dixit

Among the recipients of the National Bravery Awards 2019, 8-year-old Guru Himapriya and 13-year-old Soumya Dip Jana bagged the topmost honor ‘Bharat Award’, a new addition this year, for exercising their presence of mind to save their respective families during the terrorist attack at Sunjuwan Army camp in Jammu on February 10, 2018.

New Delhi: As a teen growing up in Kerala, Muhammed Muhsin E.C. told his two younger sisters that they will be famous once he became an IAS officer. Little did the lad know that he would indeed become famous, but for displaying indomitable courage in the face of death.

The 16-year-old Muhsin, hailing from Kozhikode district, is the only posthumous winner among the 21 children nominated across the country for the Indian Council for Child Welfare National Bravery Awards 2019.

"I am proud of Muhsin. I am not sad at all: He gave his life for a good cause. He has died a brave death. My wife Nasila remembers him with tears in her eyes, but says Muhsin did what no ordinary person can do," Muhsin's father Mustafa (45), who works in Qatar, told IANS.

"I can never forget what all my three kids talked about. Muhsin used to tell his sisters Minha Fatima, 11, and Ayesha Mehrin,8, that their names too will be famous one day because of him once he became an IAS officer," Mustafa added.

A resident of Thikkodi village, Muhsin had gone to play cricket along with his friends on October 21 last year at Kodikkal beach. Mustafa recalled that the weather warning came late in the day.

"By the time the weather warning came, the children were already on the sea shore, struggling with the waves."

Muhsin's three friends ventured far into the rough sea. Though many people were present on the shore that fateful day, nobody tried to save the children.

"Muhsin jumped into the sea and brought two friends to the shore. However, he hit his head on a boulder hidden under the sea water and died. His body floated to the seashore three days later," the teenager's father recalled.

Interacting with the awardees, the Prime Minister said their deeds of bravery are discussed extensively, and also highlighted by the media.

The Prime Minister remarked that most of the awardees are from rural and humble backgrounds. He said that perhaps their daily struggles had helped instil resilience in them, to deal courageously in adverse situations.

The Prime Minister congratulated all the award winners, their parents and schoolteachers. He also appreciated those, who recorded their instances of bravery, and helped draw attention to them.

Shri Narendra Modi said that after such recognition, future expectations from the awardees become higher than usual. He wished them well in their future endeavours.

The Minister for Women and Child Development, Smt Maneka Gandhi, was present on the occasion.

वीरता पर निबंध | Essay On Bravery In Hindi

वीरता पर निबंध Essay On Bravery In Hindi : नमस्कार साथियों आपका हार्दिक स्वागत है आज हम वीरता/ बहादुरी/ शौर्य पर निबंध (Bravery Essay) आपके साथ शेयर कर रहे हैं.

स्टूडेंट्स के लिए यह वीरता क्या है महत्व अर्थ पर भाषण, निबंध, अनुच्छेद, पैराग्राफ के रूप में इस आर्टिकल को तैयार किया गया हैं.

वीरता व्यक्ति का आंतरिक गुण है जो विपरीत हालातों के बीच अमुक लोगों में ही दीखता हैं. हम में से कोई स्वयं को कायर नहीं समझता है इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि हम सभी सच्चे वीर और शौर्यपुरुष हैं.

सामान्य हालातों में स्वयं को बहादुर कहने वाले अक्सर लोग जरा सी तकलीफ में मुरझा जाते हैं या छिप जाते है जो उसके मूल चरित्र के दिक्दर्शन करवाता हैं.

वीरता के दर्शन भी मित्रता की तरह ही हैं क्योंकि हमेशा सबसे अच्छा मित्र कहने वाला हमारा कितना हितैषी है यह तभी पता चलता है जब हम किसी विपदा या कठिनाई में पड़े हो.

सेना, पुलिस में वीरता के लिए सम्मान एवं मेडल प्रदान किये जाते हैं. हालांकि वे पदक व्यक्ति की बहादुरी को ब्यान तो नहीं करते मगर समाज, सरकार व देश द्वारा उन्हें सम्मानित करने का यह रिवाज हैं.

सच्ची वीरता के दर्शन करने हो तो भारतीय सैनिक को ही देख लीजिए गर्मियों में 45 डिग्री का तापमान हो या शरीर को जमा देने वाली ठंड वो सदैव अपनी जिंदगी की फ़िक्र किये बगैर अपने कर्तव्यों को निभाने में लगा रहता हैं.

आज के दौर में वीरता के साक्ष्य न केवल हमारी सेना के जवान पेश करते है बल्कि हमारे पुलिसकर्मी, आम नागरिक खिलाड़ी भी अपनी क्षमताओं से ऊपर उठकर समाज के लिए योगदान करते हैं.

मात्र पदक को ही वीरता माना जाए तो पाकिस्तानी सेना के जनरल पर कपड़े के वजन से अधिक तमगे लटकते हैं. मगर वे किस शौर्य के प्रदर्शन का दिखावा हैं पाक फौज ने किस युद्ध में शौर्यगाथा रची जिसे वह इन पदकों के माध्यम से दिखाता हैं.

प्रत्येक भारतीय वीर पायलट अभिनंदन की गाथा से तो परिचित ही होगा, अपने वतन की वायु सीमा को बचाते हुए उनका विमान दुश्मन के हमले का शिकार हो जाता हैं वह पैराशूट की मदद से गलती से दुश्मन मुल्क में उतरते हैं.

यहाँ तक एक साधारण व्यक्ति की तरह वे अपने दायित्वों का निर्वहन करते हैं. मगर पाक लोगों रेजर्स और पुलिस के द्वारा पकड़ने से पूर्व और बाद में सुझबुझ और जिस अदम्य साहस का परिचय दिया वह प्रत्येक भारतीय सैनिक की पहचान है जिसे दुश्मन भली भांति परिचित हैं.

हरेक नागरिक में वीरता के गुण होने चाहिए ताकि विकट हालातों में वे अपने समाज व देश को संकट से बचाने में जो भी मान वीय योगदान हो सके वह करें.

वीरता तभी जगेगी जब उत्कृष्ट योगदान करने वाले वीरों को यथेचित सम्मान मिले यही सम्मान लोगों को भी शौर्य दिखाने के लिए प्रेरित करता हैं. क्योंकि वीरता का गुण उतना जन्मजात नहीं होता जो उन्हें वातावरण बनाता हैं.

एक शेर के बच्चें को जन्म से ही भेडियो के बीच छोड़ दिया जाए तो भले ही वह संसार का सबसे खतरनाक प्राणी हो वह व्यवहार में दुर्बल भेडिये की तरह की व्यवहार करेगा. इसलिए हमारे बच्चों को वह वातावरण मिलना चाहिए जिससे वे बहादुरी का प्रदर्शन कर सके.

देश की केंद्र सरकार द्वारा राष्ट्रीय वीरता पुरूस्कार के माध्यम से ऐसा ही प्रयास किया जाता हैं. बाल कल्याण परिषद द्वारा वर्ष 1957 में वीरता सम्मान की शुरुआत की गई थी.

जिन्हें 26 जनवरी की पूर्व संध्या पर पदक, प्रमाण पत्र एवं नकद पुरूस्कार उन बच्चों को दिया जाता है जिन्होंने विविध क्षेत्रों में कीर्तिमान खड़े किये है अथवा सामाजिक क्षेत्र में किसी साहसिक कार्य को अंजाम दिया हो.

अब तक देश में ९०० बच्चों को यह सम्मान दिया जा चूका हैं. हमारे बच्चों में वीरता का सद्गुण विकसित करने के लिए बचपन से ही उन्हें हमारे वीर पुरुषों की कहानियां सुनानी चाहिए.

2 अक्टूबर,1957 में पंडित नेहरु के समक्ष एक ऐसी एतिहासिक घटना घटित हुई जिससे प्रेरित होकर उन्होंने अखिल भारतीय स्तर पर वीरता सम्मान शुरू किया गया.

नवरात्र के दिन थे दिल्ली के रामलीला मैदान में पंडित नेहरू, इंदिरा गांधी, जगजीवन राम जैसी हस्तियाँ विराजमान थी, अचानक उस शामियाने की आतिशबाजी में शोर्ट सर्किट हो गया तथा आग की लपटों में सभी घिर गये.

उस समय 14 वर्षीय बालक हरीश मेहरा स्वयंसेवक के रूप में सेवाएं दे रहे थे. स्काउड छात्र हरीश तुरंत बीस फिट ऊँचे लाइट के खम्भे पर चढ़े तथा अपनी ड्रेस में से चाक़ू निकालकर विद्युत् तार को काट दिया.

उनके इस साहसिक कार्य में दोनों हाथ पूरी तरह झुलस गये. मगर हरीश की इस जाबाजी ने एक बड़ा हादसा होने से बचा लिया था.

साहस ही जीवन है निबंध Essay on Bravery is Life in Hindi

The inspiring stories of 8 children who won the National Bravery Award this year

Wednesday January 24, 2018 , 5 min Read

Eighteen children, including seven girls, have been selected for the National Bravery Awards 2017and will participate in the Republic Day parade this year

Ahead of Republic Day every year, children from different parts of the country are awarded for “ meritorious acts of bravery against all odds ”. Instituted in 1957, the National Bravery Awards have so far been given to 963 children (680 boys and 283 girls).

Eighteen children, including seven girls, have been selected for the National Bravery Awards 2017. Three are being awarded posthumously.

These youngsters, who were honoured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 24, will participate in the Republic Day Parade at Rajpath. Here are some of the tales of the bravery shown by eight of these youngsters.

1. Mamata Dalai

Earlier in April last year, six-year-old Mamata and her sister Asanti were taking a bath in a pond near their house in Kendrapara district of Odisha. A five-feet-long crocodile, which had strayed into the village, suddenly emerged out of the water and attacked Asanti, 7.

Instead of getting scared and running away, Mamata held onto her sister’s left hand and started to pull her out of the crocodile’s grip. Her physical force and loud screams attracted nearby citizens; the crocodile lost its grip on Asanti and slipped into the water. It was caught by the forest officials of the Bhitarkanika National Park.

Mamata is the youngest recipient of the Bravery Awards this year.

2. Betshwajohn Lyngdoh Peinlang

While his mother was away to wash clothes in the nearby stream, fire broke out in Betshwajohn’s kitchen when he was cooking along with his young three-year old brother. The home was soon engulfed in flames, and they had to run out. Fourteen-year-old Betshwajohn rushed back to the burning house to rescue his brother despite having escaped already. Both the children sustained injuries.

3. Laxmi Yadav

Laxmi and her friend faced harassment on the streets of Raipur. Her friend was beaten up while Lakshmi was abducted on a motorcycle . When they stopped at a secluded place with the intention to rape her, she managed to pick up and throw the bike keys away. Sixteen-year-old Laxmi, who suffers from tuberculosis, immediately fled to the nearest police station . The men were arrested on that very day.

4. Samridhi Sushil Sharma

When a masked man tried to break into her house in Gujarat, 17-year-old Samridhi fought back, despite the intruder putting a knife to her throat. In the ensuing struggle, Samridhi suffered deep injuries to her hand which left one finger damaged. She had to undergo multiple surgeries for her hand.

5. Karanbeer Singh

On 20 September, 2016, a school bus near Attari village hit a wall while crossing a bridge and plunged into a drain, risking the lives of 25 children . The driver was over-speeding.

The bus was filled with water soon and breathing become difficult for the terrified children. Sixteen-year-old Karanbeer, keeping a cool head, broke open the door and ran outside the bus. When he realised that many children were still inside the bus, he went back inside. By now the water level had increased.

Yet, determined to save his friends, he helped other children to escape and managed to save 15 lives while sustaining a deep cut on his forehead.

6. Netravati M. Chavan

On May 13, 2017, 14-year-old Netravati was washing clothes at a pond near a stone quarry when she heard the screams of two boys who were drowning in the pond. Without thinking about her safety (the pond was overflowing due to rain ), she dived into the 30-feet-deep water to save Ganesh and Muthu .

After pulling 16-year-old Muthu to safety, she went back to rescue 10-year-old Ganesh. However, Ganesh gripped her neck in fear. Netravati was suffocated to death while Ganesh drowned.

7. Nazia Khan

Illegal gambling was rampant for many years in Agra and 18-year-old Nazia decided to report this to the authorities. On 13 July, 2016, she collected related evidence and informed the police . Four people were arrested as a result and the illegal gambling business was stopped.

In retaliation, she received death threats ; her family members were beaten up as well. Soon it became impossible for her to get out of her home or even go to school. She took to social media and tweeted to Uttar Pradesh then-Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for help. The authorities initiated action against the miscreants.

8. Sebastian Vincent

On a regular day, thirteen-year-old Sebastian was cycling to school with his friends. While crossing a railway track , his friend Abhijeet got his shoes in a tangle and fell on the track. The combined weight of the bicycle and the bag was upon him.

While the children were realising what happened, they saw an incoming train . Everyone fled except Sebastian, who stayed back and tried to help Abhijeet move away from the track. However the extra weight made it difficult.

Sebastian then jumped on to the track and, after multiple attempts, managed to push Abhijeet off the track and somersaulted off the track himself.

Despite fracturing his right hand, Sebastian, with his courage and presence of mind, helped save his friend's life.
