Norwegian Nobel Committee Pays Tributes

Norwegian Nobel Committee and its governing body have expressed their due respects to the legendary activists who had been laying their efforts for the protection of child rights and education. They have said that heroic struggle of Malala Yousafzai despite the Taliban Militants attack on her is amazing and incredible.

Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland said that despite her youth, Malala Yousafzai, has already fought for several years for the right of girls to education and has shown by example that children and young people too can contribute to improving their own situations. She has done under the most dangerous circumstances. Through her heroic struggle she has become a leading spokesperson for girls’ rights to education. The Nobel committee said it “regards it as an important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism”.

This year’s prize is likely to be seen as an uncontroversial choice from a Norwegian Nobel committee which has not shied away from controversy in recent. Malala and Mr Satyarthi will now be invited to attend an award ceremony in Oslo in December to receive a medal and $1.4m (£860,000) pounds in prize money. All India Round Up pays tribute and conveys its best wishes to both the activist who are campaigning for the child rights and education.
