New Delhi, January 21 (ANI): 14 year old Anjali Singh Gautam, of Chhatisgarh, is one among the 24 children who will be receiving the National Bravery Award 2011 from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the eve of Republic Day, for her exemplary act of courage. The girl, who will be awarded the Bapu Gaidhani award with a prize money of Rs.24,000, rescued her younger brother from the Maoist attack in Chattisgarh. The story of Anjali, who ran amid firing by Naxals to save her brother, is no less inspiring. On her birthday, July 7, nearly 200 Naxals attacked Anjali's village and a dozen of them broke into her house and fired indiscriminately.
