NEW DELHI, Jan 24 - Twenty-five children were today presented the National Bravery Awards by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who asked the society at large to be inspired by them and have a sense of kinship towards others.
Congratulating the award winners and their parents, he said presence of mind, quick thinking, selfless determination and sensitivity for human beings in distress were the most important elements of the acts of bravery performed by these children. Modi told the award winners that the act of bravery should not become an end in itself but their lives must continue to evolve and they should continue to serve the society to the best of their abilities.
Giving an example of how one�s hand reacts immediately to remove any particle that may go into the eye of a person, he said, �When there is such a feeling for the humankind, for society, for the environment, it inspires and converts into an act of bravery.� � PTI
