National Committee came into existence as an independent body in 1950. In 1952 the
Save the Children’s Fund Committee of the All India Women’s Congress merged with the
Indian National Committee for children to form the Indian Council for Child Welfare. A
new constitution was framed and ICCW was registered on June 5, 1952 under the Societies
Registration Act, 1860.

of mind and courage. Since then ICCW decided to confer national awards on children
every year.

Applications are received from various sources such as central/state government
departments, panchayats, zila parishads, school authorities as well as State and Union
Territory Councils for Child Welfare
The selection is made by a high-powered committee constituted by ICCW comprising
representatives from the President’s and Vice-President’s secretariats, Ministries of
Women and Child Development, Human Resource Development (Department of
Education), Youth Affairs & Sports, Social Justice & Empowerment, Health & Family
Welfare, Railways, Defence, Home Affairs, Information & Broadcasting, Rural
Development, Labour as well as the Police Department, All India Radio, Doordarshan,

In 1987-88 ICCW instituted the Bharat Award for an exceptionally outstanding,
meritorious and gallant deed. The other special awards include the Geeta Chopra and
Sanjay Chopra awards (instituted by ICCW in 1978) and the Bapu Gaidhani Awards
(instituted in 1988-89).

others, this assistance is provided till they complete their graduation.

awards to 895 brave children. 634 boys and 261 girls.

Deed : On the afternoon of 1st February 2014, Resham Fatma was on her way to attend her
coaching class. Her 38 year old maternal uncle Shri Riaz Ahmed, forced her into a car at
knife-point. He threatened her with dire consequences if she declined his marriage
proposal. When Resham did not give in to his demands, her Uncle pulled her by her hair
towards him and started pouring acid on her head. Although she tried to defend herself for
the next 15 minutes, her efforts proved futile. Gathering all her strength, Resham pushed
him & jumped out of the car. Riaz chased her while she was running. An Auto-rickshaw
that was passing by, stopped & Resham got into the auto. The auto-driver took her to the
nearby Police Station. From there, she was taken to the hospital. Her head, face & thighs
were affected by the acid attack. She also lost her hair on the right side of the head
permanently.
Resham displayed rare grit and determination in fearlessly fighting off her tormentor.

Deed : The incident occurred in Simaluguri town of Sivasagar district. On the afternoon
of 4 December 2013, an armed miscreant suddenly came out of a hotel, holding two
pistols in his hands & fired two rounds in the air to scare away the people. At gun-point, he
hijacked a van carrying 11 school children. The miscreant forced the driver to turn the
vehicle & proceed towards Mathurapur. All the students were crying. Gunjan Sharma, the
oldest amongst them, volunteered to be taken hostage provided the other children be let off.
Suddenly the school van fell in a ditch near the border at Santak. Leaving the van driver &
10 children there, the miscreant forcefully took Gunjan as hostage & escaped into the dense
forests towards the neighbouring State. At around 3.45 a.m, he abandoned Gunjan in the
forest & fled. Gunjan walked for an hour & reached a hut. The resident of the hut
immediately informed the police and Gunjan was recovered.
Deed : On the morning of 15 May 2014, Devesh Kumar had gone to drop his father at his
school. As soon as he reached there and stopped his bike, he heard the Principal of the
girls' school shouting for help. His father told him to go and help the Principal. Immediately
he went to her rescue. On being informed by her that thieves had snatched her gold chain,
Devesh chased the miscreants & confronted them. As Devesh kicked the bike-rider, the
latter instructed his accomplice to shoot him. The pillion rider shot Devesh in the waist and
both of them fled. The passersby took Devesh to the hospital where he underwent an
operation.
Gunjan Sharma displayed dauntless valour and sense of duty in saving her school students
from the clutches of the abductor.

the washroom. Their six year old son, Wayengamba, was playing in the courtyard. He was
trying to make a long rope by connecting a piece of ordinary rope with a live wire let down
from a loose connection on the wall when he got electrocuted. Seeing his brother lying on

shock. Brainson kicked off the wire yet again which was lying beneath Wayengamba so

in his effort.
Deed : The incident occurred on the morning of 24th April 2014, when a major fire broke

year old brother Ishaan were resting in one room while their mother & grandmother were
sleeping in the adjacent room. Hearing the noise, they woke up to notice the fire spreading
rapidly. Both of them ran outside leaving the kids behind. Sensing the danger, Ripa held
her brother tightly in her arms and came out of the flames safely. Three shops, two houses
with seven rooms were burnt to ashes by the devastating fire.
Brainson Singh saved the life of his younger brother with his fearless action.
Ripa Das exhibited exceptional courage in saving her brother showing no fear for her own
life.

Deed : The incident occurred in the Sukhapali village of the district of Raigarh. On the
th
afternoon of 19 April 2014, Balram & his friends were swimming in a 15 feet deep pond.
8 year old Chandrakant was taking a bath at that time with his friends when suddenly he
found himself stuck in the deep water. As he didn't know swimming, he started drowning.
Seeing this, Jeevardhan swam towards the drowning child. As Chandrakant held his hand,
the water being very deep, Jeevardhan felt himself unable to save him. He himself was
drowning so he tried to free his hand from Chandrakant's grip and started shouting for
help. Without wasting a single moment, Balram rushed to their help. Balram caught hold
of the child and brought him above the water level where Jeevardhan & other friends
helped them getting out of the pond.
Balram's brave act thus saved the drowning child.

Deed : On the morning of 20 October 2013, some children had gone to a pond
located some distance away from their village for Laxmi-visarjan. After the ritual,
most of the children had left when Rajdeep Das was informed by a child that some
girls were drowning in the pond. Rajdeep immediately jumped into the 8 feet deep
pond and searched for the girls. He was exhausted by the entire process, however
with great effort, he managed to bring all the girls out of the water. Rajdeep also
gave the girls first-aid.
Deed : On 15th December 2013, two boys Sanjay & Nashim aged 15 years & 13 years
respectively, went for fishing to Kunduchira river. Ignoring the high tide, they swam to the
centre of the river with a fish net hoping to get a good catch. However, they soon lost
control in the flow. As that part of the river was extremely muddy, they were entrapped in
the mud. Their efforts to escape proved futile. Hearing their cries, Anjith, who was playing
nearby, rushed to the spot and jumped into the 15-20 feet deep river. An expert swimmer,
he first dragged Nashim to the shore. Diving into the water, a second time, he found Sanjay
stuck in the mud. Lifting him up, Anjith brought him safely to the shore too.
Rajdeep saved three precious lives with his valiant & selfless act.

grandmother was washing her hands, her blood pressure suddenly shot up & she fell into
