<strong>Though just a 14-year-old, Kashish Kumari living in a Noida slum cluster, set a stellar example of presence of mind and empathy as she helped a lost child reunite with his family.</strong></p>

Kumari, daughter of a rickshaw puller and Class X Government school student, who found a two-year-old child going around all alone, enquired from the passers-by if they knew about him. On receiving no suitable reply, she did not abandon him and instead took him home to ensure his safety.</p>
