On 26 January, the awardees take part in Republic Day Parade at Rajpath, New Delhi.
History
The origin of the award dates back to 2 October 1957, when India's first Prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was watching a performance at Delhi's Ramlila grounds, at the Red Fort, and a fire broke out in a shamiana (decorated tent) through a short circuit. Subsequently, Harish Chandra, a 14-year old scout, promptly took out his knife, and ripped open the burning shamiana, saving lives of hundreds of trapped people; this incident inspired Pt. Nehru initiate the awards, he asked the authorities to constitute an award to honour brave children from all over the country, and the tradition has continued hence, and later Harish Chandra became the first recipient of the award. In 2001, a commemorative book titled 'Brave Hearts' was released featuring, features winners of the 1999 National Bravery Awards.
The 2008 awards were given by Vice President, Mohammad Hamid Ansari instead of the PM, and for the first time the real name of a 2008 award winner, 12-year-old Balloon seller 'Rahul' was withheld, as he identified the men who planted bombs on Barakhamba Road in New Delhi, during 13 September 2008 Delhi bombings, and helped police make sketches of the suspects.[5] Amongst 21 bravery awards for 2009, included two posthumous awards; awards to three girls, Rekha Kalindi, 11, Sunita Mahato, 11 and Afsana Khatun, 12, who revolted against child marriage as they wanted to pursue education, resulting in their parents eventually respecting their wishes, and Thoi Thoi Khumanthem, a class II student of Manipur, who jumped into a five-foot-deep pond and rescued four-year-old Maison Singh from drowning.
