NCERT developing special module on Operation Sindoor for classes 3 to 12: Sources
The module will have two parts — first for students from class 3 to 8 and another one for students from class 9 to 12.
A source said that the special module prepared by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will have 8 to 10 pages focussing on India's strategic military response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
'The aim is to make students understand how nations respond to terror threats and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security,' the source said.
Twenty-six men were gunned down in front of their family members in a deadly terror attack in in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22.
India retaliated by targeting terror sites in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan under Operation Sindoor, leading to a four-day conflict between the two countries.
A special discussion on Operation Sindoor would also be taken up in the Lok Sabha from Monday (July 28, 2025) after a weeklong virtual washout of Parliament proceedings.
The Opposition made a strong demand for a discussion on Operation Sindoor on the first day of the Monsoon session.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs S Jaishankar are likely to participate in the 16-hour debate that is expected to stretch over three days.

Al Qaeda in Indian subcontinent rearing its head again, agencies see strategic recalibration
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Gandhinagar: Shama Parveen was picked up from her residence in Bengaluru by Gujarat ATS on July 29, 2025. The 33-year-old commerce graduate from Jharkhand was allegedly carrying out propaganda for Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent AQIS ) on social media follows the arrest of four more AQIS operatives -- Fardin Sheikh from Ahmedabad, Mahammad Faique from Chandni Chawk in Delhi, Jishan Ali from Noida and Saifullah Qureshi from Modasa, Aravalli district in Gujarat signifying a probable spread of the terror outfit in the region. The primary allegation against the five has been that they have been propagating incendiary Jihadi propaganda online. Parveen, according to ATS, had initially confessed that she used to upload incendiary material on social media, including speeches of AQIS leaders like Maulana Asim Umar and Anwar al-Awlaki, and videos of Maulana Abdul Aziz of Lahore's Lal Masjid on her accounts. Some posts urge the youth to wage Jihad in India, particularly in Delhi, UP, Bihar, Bengal and South India, apart from activity follows a pattern consistent with the AQIS modus operandi of recruitment. AQIS, since its inception in 2014, has relied heavily on online propaganda for recruitment apart from person to person contact and, barring a few acts of terror in Pakistan and Bangladesh, have so far registered very limited field activity. The allegations against the recent arrestees appear to confirm the same status. While formally announcing AQIS in 2014 as an umbrella organisation for the violent Jihadist groups of South Asia with affiliation to Al Qaeda, al-Qaeda's late leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in his founding statement said that "AQIS would fight for Muslims in Burma, Bangladesh, Assam, Gujarat, Ahmedabad, and Kashmir". However, the US National Counter Terrorism Centre had in May 2024 reported that the size of the outfit was under 200 and its last terror attack was in Bangladesh in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, AQIS had issued a statement on May 7, declaring war on India to be 'Jihad fi sabilillah' or a cause of AQ has been trying to make itself relevant in the subcontinent for long, in April 2022, Zawahiri commented on the protests over the ban on hijab in schools and pre-university colleges in Karnataka. Similarly, AQIS incited attacks in retaliation for the alleged blasphemies and reminded all 'brothers' in the subcontinent that Prophet Muhammad foretold the victory of Islam in India leader Mohammad Asif, who was arrested in late 2015 by Delhi Police, had admitted that the Indian recruits were being transported to Afghanistan for training in weapons, tactics and religious Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH), a Kashmir-based group under the leadership of Zakir Musa, was formally announced in an official statement released by the Al-Qaeda affiliated media unit -- the Global Islamic Media Front -- in 2017. By 2019, the outfit's leadership was eliminated by Indian security has its presence in Bangladesh through Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), which has been a cause of concern for the agencies for a while. Immediately after taking over Bangladesh's administration, the Muhammad Yunus-led caretaker government had freed Jasimuddin Rehmani, chief of a known AQIS affiliate, sending shockwaves across the the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina government last August, several incarcerated terrorist leaders were freed in Dhaka, including ABT India operations chief Ikramul Haque alias Abu Talha. Although ABT has been trying to spread its tentacles in India, several ABT operatives have been arrested in India.
