PM gives away bravery awards


NEW DELHI, JAN. 24. The Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, today gave away the bravery awards to 15 children and said no religion was greater than helping others.

Giving away the medals and certificates to the children, who will ride atop elephants during the Republic Day parade, he said the award presentation function should be held in a bigger way so that more children across the country be inspired by it.

While the highest bravery award for children `Bharat' was not given to any child this year, the Geeta Chopra and Sanjay Chopra award went to 15-year-old Rashmi who joined her brother 12-year- old Harsh Shrivastava in fighting a bull to save a child. Harsh got the Bapu Gayadhani award.
