Operation Sindoor likely to be part of NCERT textbooks for classes 3 to 12

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is preparing a special educational module on Operation Sindoor aimed at teaching students about India's defence power, sources said. The upcoming module will be split into two segments, one tailored for students in classes 3 to 8 and the other for those in classes 9 to 12. According to sources, the content will span 8 to 10 pages and will focus on India's strategic military response following the Pahalgam terror attack. The initiative is intended to help students understand how a nation tackles terrorism, and the vital roles played by defence forces, diplomacy, and inter-ministerial coordination in ensuring national security. The Pahalgam attack, which occurred on April 22, claimed the lives of 26 civilians who were gunned down in front of their families in Jammu and Kashmir. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and within Pakistan. The retaliatory action resulted in a four-day conflict between the two nations. Parliament is also set to take up a special discussion on Operation Sindoor beginning Monday, after a week-long delay in proceedings. The debate, expected to last three days and span 16 hours, will likely see participation from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.

Operation Sindoor to feature in NCERT lessons for Classes 3 to 12

NCERT is preparing two 'modules' on Operation Sindoor – separate publications that will not be part of the textbooks – one for classes 3 to 8, and another for classes 9 to 12, sources in the Education Ministry said. The achievements of India and the armed forces will be described in the eight to 10-page module. The aim is to make students aware of India's military power and Pakistan's defeat, sources said. The NCERT has a set of modules – short publications on specific topics – including some that were launched in May this year. The modules for classes 1 to 12 are available on the NCERT's website. Separate modules have been prepared for COVID-19 and its impact on public health and social life, 'India's digital success and power', the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the G20 summit that was held in India in 2023, and 'Swachhata'. Each module contains stories, activities, and examples that illustrate the topic, and serves as additional material, beyond the textbook, that schools can use. Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian Armed Forces in May, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It was launched weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack in April. In the ongoing monsoon session, Parliament is set to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor next week.
