History
On Gandhi Jayanti day, 2 October 1957, India's first prime
minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was watching a performance Delhi's Ramlila ground,
at the Red Fort. During the performance, a short circuit caused a fire to break
out in a decorated tent.
Harish Chandra Mehra, a 14-year-old scout, promptly took out his knife and ripped open the burning tent, saving the lives of hundreds of trapped people. This incident inspired Nehru to ask the authorities to establish an award to honour brave children from all over the country.
The first official National Bravery Awards were presented to Harish Chandra and one other child on 4 February 1958, by Prime Minister Nehru. The ICCW has continued the tradition ever since.
The Sanjay Chopra Award and the Geeta Chopra Award were established in 1978, in memory of two Chopra children who lost their lives while confronting their kidnappers.
The Sanjay and Geeta awards are given to a boy and a girl for acts of bravery.
