About Veer Gatha Project

To honour the acts of bravery and sacrifice of the officers/personnel of the Armed Forces, other lawfully-constituted Forces and Civilians, gallantry awards are announced twice in a year on the occasion of Republic Day and Independence Day.

In order to disseminate the details of acts of bravery and the life stories of these brave-hearts among the students, it has been proposed by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) that school students may be motivated to do projects/activities based on gallantry award winners. Accordingly, the Ministry of Defence in collaboration with Ministry of Education, Department of School Education & Literacy, is organising the Veer Gatha Project 2.0. The Project is open for all schools in all states and Union Territories including all schools affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

Award

25 selected entries will be awarded a cash prize of Rs. 10,000/- by the Ministry of Defence.
Each of the 25 winners will be invited for the Republic Day Celebration at Delhi.
All students whose entry is uploaded on the CBSE Veer Gatha portal will get an E- certificate of Participation.
