The Sanjay Chopra Award has been given to six year old Master Yuktarth Shrivastava of Chhattisgarh who saved his sister from stray dogs. On the evening of 30 December, 2006 Yuktarth was playing with his 11 month old sister Surmayee outside their house at Panchsheel colony, Rajnandgaon. When Surmayee went a little ahead of the house some stray dogs once encircled her. Scared, Surmayee started crying. Seeing his baby sister surrounded by the dogs, Yuktarth called out to his parents for help. When no one heard his cry, Yuktarth jumped in the midst of the dogs. Picking up his sister on the laps, Yuktarth tried to shoo away the dogs. More than half a dozen dogs pounded on Yuktarth and bit him on his feet and thighs severely. Unmindful of his injuries, Yuktarth kept holding his sister and ran into the house. Yuktarth displayed exemplary courage in saving his infant sister.
