Chapters on the lives of Indian military heroes Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Brigadier Mohammad Usman, and Major Somnath Sharma have been incorporated into the NCERT syllabus for Class VII and VIII, aiming to inspire students through narratives of courage and duty. This initiative, a collaboration between the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Education, emphasizes the importance of understanding India’s military history while fostering patriotism and moral values among young citizens. The National War Memorial, dedicated by Prime Minister Modi in 2019, plays a crucial role in these efforts, reinforcing a sense of national spirit and belonging as students learn about the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers.
