The President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, inaugurated the Param Vir Dirgha at Rashtrapati Bhavan on December 16, 2025, coinciding with Vijay Diwas. This gallery features portraits of all 21 Param Vir Chakra awardees, serving as both an educational initiative and a tribute to the sacrifices made by these national heroes who exhibited extraordinary valor in defense of the nation. The establishment of the Param Vir Dirgha in corridors that previously showcased British ADCs represents a significant cultural shift, promoting a sense of pride in India’s heritage while moving away from colonial influences. The Param Vir Chakra stands as India’s highest military decoration, underscoring the importance of honoring acts of courage and self-sacrifice during wartime. This initiative not only commemorates the bravery of Indian soldiers but also aims to inspire future generations about the sacrifices made for the country, reinforcing national pride and identity.
