Twenty-five children, three girls and 22 boys, were felicitated by India Council for Child Welfare (ICCW) with the National Awards for Bravery 2015. Their acts were as diverse as their backgrounds. The ICCW had instituted the Bharat Award for an exceptionally outstanding, meritorious and gallant deed in 1987.The children will receive their awards from PM Narendra Modi on the evening of Republic Day and will get an opportunity to participate in the Republic Day parade too. ICCW president Gita Siddhartha said that the awardees, apart from a medal, certificate and cash, will be given financial assistance until they complete schooling.
