Story of National Bravery Award recipient Ejaz Nadaf included in Maharashtra school Textbook
Pardi: In a noteworthy addition to the Bal Bharti textbook used in Taluka Ardhapur, the story of Ejaz Nadaf, a courageous young individual who received the prestigious "National Bravery Award," is now being featured. Ejaz's remarkable act of bravery at the age of 16 has gained recognition and praise in this educational material.
The inclusion of Ejaz's story discusses the details surrounding the award presentation, the district of his origin, and his village of residence among others.
On April 30, 2017, Ejaz demonstrated extraordinary bravery by rescuing two girls from drowning in a river. This act of heroism led to him being honored with the esteemed "National Child Bravery" award on January 26, 2018, by Prime Minister and President Ramnath Kovind. Notably, Ejaz Nadaf was the sole student from Maharashtra to receive this prestigious award in 2018.
Ejaz pursued his education in his village, where he showcased immense courage during his 10th-grade studies at Rajabai High School.
With the aim of providing him a better educational opportunity and future prospects, Ejaz was adopted by the Shaheen Institute in Bidar, Karnataka.
Despite facing financial hardships, Ejaz managed to pass his 12th-grade exams after working as a laborer in his village following his 10th grade. However, he had little hope of continuing his education. Fortunately, the Shaheen Institute in Bidar, Karnataka, stepped forward to support Ejaz's academic journey and success. Presently, he is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree while preparing for the UPSC exams at the Shaheen Institution.
Expressing his happiness and pride, Ejaz's father, Abdul Rauf Nadaf, emphasized the significance of his child's story being taught as a lesson in bravery. He believes that Ejaz's inspiring journey will serve as a positive example for other students and encourage them to exhibit courage in their lives.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
