Ladaku’ Nazia, as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, jokingly called her at the National Bravery Awards giving ceremony in Delhi, is one fierce 18 years old girl. A resident of Agra, Nazia has been awarded by national and state government for her courageous and commendable acts.
In 2016, Nazia, then 15-year-old was awarded the Rani Laxmi Bai Bravery Award by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Women’s Day, for her heroic act of resisting the kidnapping of a 6-year-old student belonging to her own school. While returning from school, Nazia heard the screams of a girl for help. She rushed and grabbed the frightened child, and stood firm against two men trying to flee away with her on a bike. She took her back to school and informed the principal, who later called the police and appropriate actions were taken. Nazia also received a cheque of Rs. 1 lakh along with the award, for her spontaneous and bold response.
