At the event, Satyarthi said the world has to work forward together to bring around development.

"The credit to this honour goes to people who worked and sacrificed for freeing children. Am representing here the sound of silence of millions of children who are left behind. I come here to share the voices and dreams of our children," he said.

He said, "I have kept an empty chair to remind people of those children."
 
Satyarthi, who dedicated his life to campaign against child labour, said there is no greater violence than denying the dreams of the children.
 
"I refuse to accept that all the laws of the world are unable to protect the children," the social activist said.
 
"My only aim in life is that every child is free to develop, free to eat, free to go to school and above all free to dream," said he.
 
Satyarthi, whose organization Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement) has been credited with freeing more than 80,000 child labourers in India over 30 years, said, "We have reduced the number of child labour by a third."
 
"All religion teach us to take care of children," said he calling upon world governments to accelerate action to end child abuse.
 
"Children are questioning our inaction and watching our action," Satyarthi said.
 
Satyarthi, 60, and his organization, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, have worked to eradicate modern slavery in India.
 
Their work has freed thousands of children from abusive labour practices, assisted in bringing human traffickers to justice, and improved awareness of the crime of human trafficking.

Yousafzai while receiving her award along with Satyarthi  said the world will no more be satisfied with the basic education and that her fight against oppression will continue till every child goes to school.

"The world can not accept that basic education is enough. I will continue this fight till every child goes to school," Yousafzai said at a grand Nobel Prize ceremony in Oslo on the death anniversary of its founder Alfred Nobel.

She said: "There is no secondary school in my village, I want to build one for my brothers and sisters."

The 17-year-old Nobel laureate, whom  Satyarthi has called as his 'daughter', said she will donate the prize money to Malala Fund to build schools in Pakistan.

The youngest Nobel laureate said the girls in India and Pakistan are deprived of education because of social taboos.

"We can show the world that an Indian and Pakistani can work together for  child rights" said she referring to Satyrathi, who shared the Peace Prize with her.

"Let us be the last generation to see empty classroom. Let us be the last one to see child forced into marriage and lose life in war," urged Malala.

Sharing some of her past experience, she said: "Malala means sad but my father made me believe I am the happiest girl in the world."

"I am famous as the girl who was shot by Taliban and others know me as the girl who stood for her rights," she said.

The Pakistani teen said when her voice changed, her priorities were changed.

"I had two options, to remain silent and get killed and to speak up and meet the same fate; I chose the second option. I am a stubborn girl who wants education for every child," she claimed.

"My story is story of many girls. I represent 66 million deprived girls. We still see conflicts where people loose life and  children become orphan," said she amid thunderous applauds, adding: "I feel I am the only Nobel laureate who still fight with her younger brother."

Malala also called for an one and final action against deprivation of child from education.

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest ever Nobel laureate who had survived a near-fatal attack by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating girls’ right to education.
