A boy named Prajjwal found some gold while digging at his house.
Instead of keeping it, he gave it to the government.
The local village meeting, called a gram sabha, decided to reward him for being honest.
They said he should get free education and a place to live.
They also asked for money to help his family build a house.
The boy's mother was very happy and relieved.
The gram sabha wants to show Prajjwal's picture in schools to inspire other children to be honest like him.
Prajjwal Ritti returned found treasure to the government, showcasing honesty.
Gram Sabha recommended free education for Prajjwal and a residential site for his family.
The decision was made in a special meeting on January 22, 2026.
The family requested financial assistance of Rs 10-15 lakh for house construction.
