Ahead of 65th Republic day celebrations, 24 children between the age of 8 and 17 have been selected for the prestigious National Bravery Awards. This year, 1st February 2014, is a day edged in 16 year old Resham's memory on her way to tuitions, Resham was kidnapped by her 38 year old uncle. He poured acid over her head when she turned on his proposal. He took out a bottle and it had a yellowish liquid he poured it entirely on me, from my head Then, when I felt burning sensations, I understood that its an acid. I want to make such guys punish in such a way that he, means no other even think that such an act is justified. A resident of Lucknow, Resham will be conferred the Bharat Award, the highest of the National bravery honors on Republic Day. Shamu Nath Bharti received the honor for his son, Gaurav's exemplary courage. Gaurav died trying to save his friend, Vikas from drowning. When my son, saw his friend drowning to rescue his friend, he jumped into the river. He was very courageous, was very helpful to others, couldn't see anyone crying, anybody says or urges whether for playing or any other work, my son was very hard working I do not have any other son like him now. With big courage on little shoulders the brave hearts are all set to march in the Republic Day parade. In New Delhi with camera person Umesh Mudigere and Kinshuk Dain, Namita Mital for NDTV.
