Partially funded by the Government of Pakistan and Higher Education Department, the award recognises Swati for the bravery he displayed and to encourage the young generation in the country.

Muhammad Ali Swati was born on 11 th of March in 1993 constituency of Mansehra he gained much popularity after the critically praising August 2023 cable car rescue in Battagram, KP. This was very risky during this particular operation: a group of children is stuck in the cable car. They include national award and recognition and international award and recognition of lifesaving efforts.

That was not the end of Swati’s heroism. In the Naran Flood he commanded a rescue mission whereby more than 600 individuals that were trapped because of a collapsed bridge were successfully evacuated. These awesome deeds carved the man as a dedicated and a courageous rescuer who was deeply committed to the community and his country.
