Let me Salute U...


 My Dear ("Honorable") Child...Namaskaar.





Om Prakash Yadav,Age 11, a Class VII student and the son of a 


Uttar Pradesh farmer, pulled out several of his friends alive out of a 


burning van, caring little about his own safety.
On September 4, 2010, Om Prakash was going to school along with 


other students in a Maruti van. But all of a sudden, the van caught 


fire because of a short circuit in the gas kit.

The driver immediately opened his door and fled. But not Om 


Prakash.



He broke open the van door and pulled out the others, caring little 


about the flames that had spread to his face, back and arms.





He saved eight children. For his bravery, he has won the Sanjay 


Chopra Award.India's National Bravery Awards 2012.
