Next chapter, India's military might. NCERT preparing module on Op Sindoor for classes 3-12
According to officials in the government, the NCERT modules will be released in two parts. While part one will be for classes 3rd to 8th, part two will be taught to classes 9th to 12th. Each module is eight to ten pages. Initiated in the early hours of 7 May, Operation Sindoor involved military strikes by India against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the Pahalgam massacre. New Delhi: The National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT) is preparing special modules on Operation Sindoor for students of classes 3rd to 12th with an aim to make students aware about India's military power, sources confirmed to ThePrint. 'The aim is to make students aware of India's military power and how Pakistan was once again defeated. Through this module, students will also learn about Operation Sindoor and the strategic strength of our armed forces,' a senior official told ThePrint. NCERT is also preparing special modules as supplementary reading material for students, focusing on key national themes, ThePrint has learnt. The programme aims to 'make students aware of the country's achievements' and instill 'a sense of pride'. So far, 15 such modules have been released on themes including 'Viksit Bharat', 'Nari Shakti Vandan', 'G20', 'COVID-19', 'Bharat-mother of democracy', and 'Chandrayaan'. Along with Operation Sindoor, the NCERT is also preparing some other modules. 'The upcoming modules will be about Mission LiFE, the horrors of Partition, and India's rise as a space power—from Chandrayaan and Aditya-L1 to Subhanshu Shukla's presence on the International Space Station. The idea is to highlight the road ahead by showcasing the country's achievements,' said another government official. The NCERT has included events from recent history in textbooks. In the newly released Class 8 social science textbook, it has mentioned the 'surgical strike'—referring to India's 2016 military action across the Line of Control (LoC). The book also compares Maratha ruler Shivaji's attack on Mughal nobleman Shaista Khan to a 'modern-day surgical strike'.

Hyderabad: Former director of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), VJ Sundaram, on Saturday advocated for the development of a fully self-sufficient military programme. He was speaking during the one-day workshop showcasing the weapons used in Operation Sindoor at the DRDO , Hyderabad. "Along with indigenisation, it is also important to focus on innovative ideas in advanced high-tech areas such as cyborgs and others," Sundaram said. The weapons on display, ranging from sub-systems of the Akash air-defence andBRAHMOS missile to medium-range surface-to-air missiles and the unmanned aerial vehicle-launched precision-guided missile, were all developed in the Hyderabad complex and used in Operation Sindoor.

NCERT Curriculum To Highlight Operation Sindoor, Chandrayaan Missions And More
New Delhi: Operation Sindoor, Mission LiFE, and Indian space missions, including Chandrayaan, Aditya L1, and Shubhanshu Shukla's recent International Space Station (ISS) mission, will soon be a key part of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum, according to Education Ministry sources. Two modules are currently under development. The first module is designed for students of Classes 3 to 8, while the second is intended for Classes 9 to 12. Each module will span approximately eight to 10 pages and will showcase key milestones in India's military and strategic journey with a particular emphasis on how Operation Sindoor was executed as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack. "The idea is to educate young minds about India's military power, the decisive actions taken to safeguard the nation's sovereignty, and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security," a senior official in the ministry said. While specific operational details will remain classified, Operation Sindoor will be used as a key case study to illustrate India's strategic strength. Sources also said that a module on the horrors of partition will also be introduced, offering students a historical perspective on the traumatic legacy of India's independence and the resilience shown in the years that followed. The modules will also chart India's rise as a global space power, detailing landmark missions such as Chandrayaan, Aditya L1, and the recent milestone of Indian Air Force Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla, Axiom Mission 4 reaching the ISS. This coursework is intended to spark scientific curiosity and motivate students. In addition to military achievements, the modules will also include content on Mission LiFE -- the flagship programme of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Students will be introduced to this mission's significance in combating climate change and promoting ecological balance. "The modules aim to provide a comprehensive view of India's progress across sectors-from defence to diplomacy, from sustainable development to space exploration," the official added. The Education Ministry has not announced an official launch date yet, but the modules are expected to be introduced in schools soon after completion.
