The Uttarakhand government will confer the Rajya Bal Veerta Puraskar (State Child Bravery Award) on children who demonstrate exceptional courage and valour in difficult circumstances. The Women Empowerment and Child Development Department has invited applications for the award.

Department director Banshi Lal Rana said interested children can apply until 10 October. The award aims to recognise and honour young individuals who have shown remarkable bravery.
The award taps into a structured recognition mechanism for child bravery at the state level, separate from national awards. The 10 October deadline is the immediate actionable item for eligible families. The department’s call for applications underlines a push to identify and celebrate grassroots heroism among children, though the criteria and selection process remain unspecified in the announcement. The next step for applicants is to submit before the cutoff date.
