What is confirmed

In the Ministry of Home Affairs and PIB list for the Jeevan Raksha Padak 2024 series, “Sushri Manishaben Amarshibhai Malakiya, Gujarat” is named as a recipient of the Jeevan Raksha Padak. The award is given for a humane act of saving someone’s life.

What is not yet known

We have not yet found a detailed, credible record of the rescue itself: where it happened, when, or in what circumstances. A name on an award list confirms the award, but it does not by itself give us a biography.

Honouring a hero means finding the true story, not inventing one.

How her story can be completed

District archives, police and fire records, and local Gujarati newspapers are where stories of ordinary lifesavers are often kept. If you know Manishaben Amarshibhai Malakiya or have documents about this rescue, please use “Nominate a hero” to share them with us.
