Talking to a private TV channel, Marvi termed the winning of the award a historic moment saying that Malala was the daughter of the soil and the nation was proud of her.
She said Malala had given a message that consistency and persistency in a cause make it a success.
She also paid rich tributes to Pakistan Army personnel who had laid down their lives in the war against terrorism.
The PML-N leader further said after the 18th amendment in the constitution, education was devolved to the provinces and now it was upto a province to become a role model for other provinces.
