The National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) is developing two special classroom modules on Operation Sindoor– India’s strikes against terror infrastructure across Pakistan– with an aim to make students of classes 3-12 learn about India’s defence strategy and diplomatic response, news agency PTI reported citing sources.
As per sources, two modules are currently under works. The first module is designed for students of Classes 3 to 8, while the second is intended for Classes 9 to 12. Each of these modules are likely to be around 8 to 10 pages long.
This classroom module is aimed at helping students understand how nations respond to terror threats and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security.
“The aim is to make students understand how nations respond to terror threats and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security,” education ministry sources said.
Apart from Operation Sindoor, students will also be taught about Mission LiFE — India’s lifestyle campaign for environment-conscious living, the horrors of the Partition, and the country’s emergence as a major space power, news agency ANI reported.
Additionally, the NCERT is also planning to introduce the modules exploring India’s growing prominence in space, highlighting key missions like Chandrayaan and Aditya-L1, along with the recent achievement of Indian Air Force Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla reaching the International Space Station (ISS) on Axiom Mission 4.
“The modules aim to provide a comprehensive view of India’s progress across sectors-from defence to diplomacy, from sustainable development to space exploration,” the source added.
Operation Sindoor
In one of the biggest attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, killing at least 26 people, including foreign tourists, and injuring many others. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, claimed responsibility for the attack.
India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, bombing nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in pre-dawn strikes that killed at least 100 militants. The operation sparked four days of cross-border fighting involving fighter jets, missiles and artillery.
Axiom-4 Mission
IAF Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla along with former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, Slawosz Uznanski from Poland (European Space Agency) and Tibor Kapu from Hungary, blasted off to International Space Station as part of Axiom-4 mission on June 25.
The mission marked the first time an Indian entered the International Space Station and performed experiments in microgravity. The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission was the fourth private astronaut expedition to the International Space Station.
The crew returned safely to Earth onboard SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, Grace, on July 15, after it made the splashdown into the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of San Diego in Southern California.
He was flown to Houston, where he also met his family members, including his wife and child.
Shukla brought along with him the results of the seven experiments, which were developed by Indian research institutions under the Human Space Flight Centre’s coordination.
