Now preparations are on to give bravery award at the state level to the brave children of the state who save the lives of others by putting their own lives in danger. The State Child Welfare Council has prepared a proposal for this, which can get approval from the Raj Bhavan on February 17. Cases of children showing indomitable courage by saving the lives of others from leopards in the state often come to the fore. Apart from this, the brave children of the state do many brave acts like saving people from drowning in water. Earlier, these brave children of the state have been honored every year on Republic Day by the Indian Child Welfare Council, but for some reason, applications are not being sought for this by the Indian Child Welfare Council for the last few years. This is the reason that now preparations are on to reward such children at the state level. For this, after the approval of the proposal, applications of such children will be taken at the state level. After which the child heroes will be given the state level bravery award.
