Selected for the National Bravery Award, the 25 children from different parts of the country were hosted to a mesmerizing Sound and Light show run by India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) Ltd at Purana Qila, New Delhi. The kids who will receive the National Bravery awards, for their outstanding acts of gallantry, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Republic Day were invited to showcase the incredible 1000 years journey of rise, fall and shaping of the capital city through a spectacular Sound & Light show ‘Ishq-e-Dilli’ operated by ITDC.

These kids are true role models who inspire others; it was an honor to host, meet and interact with these brave souls at the Son Et Lumiere (Show)”.
