<p>Children, individuals and associations from across the State, who were selected for awards for their various contributions, were honoured on the occasion of Children’s Day at Jawahar Bal Bhavan, on Saturday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Ten-year-old Siddesh M hailing from Avaragere, Davanagere, was honoured for risking his life to save passengers travelling in the Harihara – Chitradurga Passenger train. On March 15, 2015, Siddesh noticed cracks on the railway tracks near Avaragere Township.
