"Satyarthi is the most deserving person for this rare honour and it is an award for his crusade for understanding the plight of millions of children," the Chief Minister said.
A great follower of Mahatma Gandhi, Satyarthi deserves kudos for running 'Bachapan Bachao Andolan' NGO and we all need to support his NGO and come forward to protect the rights of the children and shaping their destiny for better, he said.
Governor Urmila Singh also congratulated Satyarthi for his efforts in protecting child rights.
