The incident occurred when Ramropuia and his family were enjoying a day out near a river. Suddenly, Lalhriatpuia, a member of their group, found himself in a life-threatening situation as he was swept away by the strong currents and began to drown. Without a moment’s hesitation, Ramropuia, despite his young age, jumped into the river to rescue Lalhriatpuia. Displaying remarkable presence of mind and bravery, he managed to pull Lalhriatpuia to safety, saving him from what could have been a tragic outcome.
Ramropuia’s quick thinking and fearless actions not only saved a life but also set an extraordinary example of courage and compassion. His selfless act has been widely praised, and his recognition with the National Bravery Award is a testament to his exceptional character. The award, one of the highest civilian honors for bravery in India, is given to children who demonstrate extraordinary courage in the face of danger.
The Don Bosco School community, where Ramropuia is a student, has expressed immense pride in his achievement. In a statement, the school said, “We feel incredibly proud to have a student like F. Ramropuia in our institution. His bravery and selflessness reflect the values we strive to instill in our students. He is an inspiration to us all and a shining example of how young individuals can make a profound difference in the lives of others.”
The National Bravery Award ceremony, held annually on Republic Day, honors young heroes from across the country. Ramropuia’s recognition not only highlights his individual courage but also brings pride to his school, community, and state. His story serves as a reminder of the power of selflessness and the impact one person, regardless of age, can have in saving a life and inspiring others.
As Ramropuia stood on the stage in Delhi to receive his medal, he became a symbol of hope and bravery for the nation. His story will undoubtedly inspire countless others to act with courage and compassion in times of need. The Don Bosco School family, along with the entire community, celebrates this remarkable young hero and wishes him continued success in all his future endeavors.
