New Delhi: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is developing a special classroom module on Operation Sindoor to help students learn about India’s defence strategy and diplomatic response.
The special educational module, being created for senior classes, is expected to be released soon.
Operation Sindoor was a measured and targeted strike by Indian Armed forces in the early hours of May 7, to destroy nine terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Unlike regular textbooks, the special module will be a standalone case study which focuses on India’s strategic military response following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, when 26 innocent men were gunned down in front of their family members at the scenic Baisaran valley.
The classroom module is aimed to make students understand how nations respond to terror threats and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security.
The NCERT module will provide a factual overview of Operation Sindoor, covering key aspects like the role of the Armed forces, decision-making process behind such counter-terror actions, and wider implications for diplomacy and regional stability.
The module is initially being developed for higher secondary classes only. However, NCERT may later introduce the content for middle school students as well.
A special discussion on Operation Sindoor will commence in Parliament on Monday, and continue till Wednesday.
