The Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar is given every year to children with outstanding achievements or those who have shown exceptional bravery.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today handed out digital certificates to winners of the annual children's awards given as part of Republic Day celebrations. His interaction with one of the young awardees has drawn much interest.
11-year-old Avi Sharma, who has written his own version of the Ramayana - the "Balmukhi Ramayana" - is among the recipients this year.
"You have done so much, how do you manage all this? Have you been able to save your childhood or that is also lost," PM Modi asked the boy in a video interaction.
"This is all the blessings of Lord Ram. My parents' blessing have also helped me achieve so much," said the boy, who is from Indore.
