A 17-year-old Indian-American student has been presented with the prestigious Congressional Award Gold Medal, which is Congress’ highest award for youth in the U.S.
Soham Daga was presented with the award at the Capitol Hill last week along with 282 other recipients from across the country. To earn the award, individuals must spend two years or more completing at least 400 hours of community service, 200 hours of both personal development and physical fitness activities, and a four-night expedition or exploration.
