NEW DELHI: In a move to familiarise schoolchildren with India’s military prowess and technological advancements, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is developing a special educational module on ‘ Operation Sindoor ’. The content, currently under preparation, will soon be released and integrated into school learning for Classes 3 to 12, sources in the education ministry confirmed on Saturday.
The upcoming module -- spread across 8 to 10 pages -- will be structured in two parts to cater to different age groups. The first segment is designed for students from Classes III to VIII, while the second will be tailored for those in Classes IX to XII. Officials involved in the process said the initiative is intended to instil awareness among students about India’s defence capabilities, scientific progress, and its growing stature in national and global security.
Operation Sindoor, which showcased India’s strategic and operational readiness, is being framed within the larger narrative of national pride and resilience. The module will highlight key moments from the operation and emphasise India’s ability to defend its interests, including recent setbacks suffered by Pakistan.
Apart from detailing the military achievements, the module will include sections on related national themes. Students will be introduced to Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), which promotes sustainable living practices; The Horrors of Partition, offering a historical lens on the trauma of India’s division in 1947; and India’s rise as a space power, tracing its journey from Chandrayaan missions to the Aditya L1 solar observatory.
The module will also feature the story of Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla , who recently became the first Indian to visit the International Space Station. His voyage is being positioned as a symbol of India’s forward march in space exploration, intended to inspire the next generation.
NCERT sources said the content will be written in an accessible style appropriate for the respective age groups, combining historical context with present-day achievements and future aspirations. The move is part of the broader national curriculum efforts under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to integrate patriotic and contemporary themes in school education.
