Next chapter, India's military might. NCERT preparing module on Op Sindoor for classes 3-12
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'.
