NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today presented the National Bravery Awards to 25 bravehearts and lauded them saying that ”bravery is a state of mind”.
Interacting with the young awardees, the Prime Minister said their deeds of bravery showed their decisiveness as much as their courage. He encouraged the children to ensure that this award does not become the end of their life’s purpose but only mark the beginning for them.
Bravery is a state of mind — a healthy body helps, but the prime moving force is the mind, he told the youngsters. Therefore, he added, ”we need to make the mind strong” and urged the children to ensure that the adulation and fame that they were getting should not impede their future progress. Reminding the children about the significance of the day (January 23rd) which is also Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary, the Prime Minister urged the children to read as much as possible, especially biographies of leaders, sportspersons and other people who had done great deeds in their lives.
