Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday interacted with the recipients of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar and urged the youth to support the ‘Vocal for Local’ campaign like he had taken forward the cleanliness drive in the country and said that youth are at the center of it. Huh. All the policies being made by his government.
Twenty-nine children, including 14 girls, were awarded in six areas – innovation, educational achievements, sports, arts and culture, social service and bravery. The certificates were awarded digitally to the Bal Puraskar recipients using blockchain technology. Each child was also given a medal and a cash prize of Rs 1,00,000.
Speaking to several children who received the award, the Prime Minister praised their grit, determination and passion for bringing about change in their chosen fields. He lauded the children for their participation in the COVID-19 vaccination programme, saying that they have shown their modern and scientific thinking.
