There is no better way to mark Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, according to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, than by paying tribute to “India’s veers.” He thanked Rajnath Singh, the defence minister of the Union, for starting the Veergatha project. He asserted that it is crucial for cultivating a strong sense of patriotism and gratitude toward our heroic heroes.
According to Mr. Pradhan, the Super 25 and the Veergatha project have ingeniously demonstrated young Indians’ patriotism and appreciation for our heroes. He gave the assurance that the Education Ministry would quickly create a formal system for giving academic credits for certificates obtained through this initiative.
He added that the Education Ministry, in collaboration with the Defense Ministry, will work to incorporate the bravery of our soldiers and India’s veergatha in the last 75 years into the school curriculum and our textbooks in order to foster a sense of “responsibility towards the nation” from a young age. In appreciation of our heroes, he also suggested dubbing this competition the Sena Super 25.
According to Mr. Pradhan, this round of the Super 25 involved 8 lakh pupils from 5,000 schools, and future rounds will involve all schools in India and more than one crore students.
