New Delhi, June 23: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that his party has started a fundraising campaign "to shame Prime Minister Narendra Modi for playing a joke on people of Odisha" and not fulfilling his promise of setting up a medical college in Rourkela.

"On 1st April, 2015 the PM played an April Fools' day joke on the people of Orissa, as seen in this video. The Congress party has begun a fund raise to shame the PM into keeping the promise he made," tweeted Gandhi, asking people to contribute generously.

Attaching the link: "https://contribute.inc.in/fundraiser/Odishahospital", he also attached a video which shows Modi promising ISPAT Medical College Cum Super Speciality Hospital in Rourkela, but how there is still no sign of a medical college yet.

The video also shows a person named Muktikanta Biswas who had already walked more than 1,350 km to remind Modi of his promise. On his way to Delhi, he fell ill in Agra and was admitted to a hospital. 

The link shared by Gandhi would take a viewer to the fund-raiser page which says: "Support this man's struggle against Modi's broken promise."

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.
