Mhonbeni Ezung was among 24 children to receive the Bharat Award (for bravery) on Sunday, for rescuing her drowning grandmother. Eight-year-old Ezung is the youngest recipient of the bravery awards this year. On Jan 28, 2014, the grandmother had slipped into a river while fishing. Mhonbeni ran back 4-5 km through the thick forests all alone to call for help.
