New Delhi: The Ministry of Education (MoE) on September 20 announced that a poem titled ‘National War Memorial’ and a chapter titled ‘Veer Abdul Hameed’ have been included in the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) curriculum of Class 6 from this year.

This initiative, jointly undertaken by the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Education, aims to promote values such as patriotism, duty, courage, and sacrifice among students, encouraging their participation in nation-building.

"The poem 'National War Memorial' is to appreciate the spirit behind it. The chapter titled 'Veer Abdul Hameed' honours the braveheart Abdul Hameed, who made the supreme sacrifice fighting for the country during the India-Pakistan war of 1965 and was (posthumously) awarded the country's highest gallantry award Param Veer Chakra,” a senior official told PTI.

As part of a comprehensive plan to establish the National War Memorial as a significant national monument, the Ministry of Defence has collaborated with the MoE and NCERT to integrate related materials and references in the curriculum.
