Dharmavaram: State Minister for Health, Family Welfare, and Medical Education—and Dharmavaram MLA—Satya Kumar Yadav has formally requested President of India Droupadi Murmu to confer the prestigious National Bravery Award for Children upon Sake Lakshmi, a school student who demonstrated extraordinary courage in saving a fellow classmate from a life-threatening attack.
In an official letter submitted to President Murmu on November 1, Minister Satya Kumar highlighted that Sake Lakshmi displayed selfless valor by confronting an assailant who was violently attacking her friend, Gopika, a tenth-grade student at Raptadu High School.
Disregarding the severe threat to her own life, Lakshmi intervened fearlessly during the crisis to protect her peer.
Praising her presence of mind and profound humanity, the Minister stated that Lakshmi’s quick action and sacrifice serve as an enduring inspiration to students across the country.

Minister Satya Kumar emphasized that Lakshmi’s effort to save a fellow student’s life in a moment of acute danger makes her fully deserving of national-level recognition.
He urged the Union government and the President’s Secretariat to acknowledge her heroism by conferring the National Bravery Award for Children upon her, ensuring that her heroic act is celebrated as a benchmark of youth courage across the nation. Local community leaders and education officials in Sri Sathya Sai district also echoed the Minister’s recommendation, applauding Lakshmi’s act of heroism.
