Republic Day 2024: 1.37 crore students participate in Project Veer Gatha 3.0 across India

NEW DELHI: The third edition of Project ‘Veer Gatha’, a collaborative initiative of Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Education as part of Republic Day celebrations, has garnered an enthusiastic nationwide response. Approximately 1.37 crore students from around 2.43 lakh schools actively took part in this initiative. Following the participation, a total of 100 winners were chosen at the national level. The announcement of these winners, 25 each from Class 3 to 5, Class 6 to 8, Class 9 to 10, and Class 11 to 12 categories, was made on January 5.
Project Veer Gatha 3.0 was launched on July 13, 2023. It introduced a range of interesting topics for paragraph and essay writing. Participants were provided with the opportunity to explore various themes, with a specific emphasis on chosen role models, particularly highlighting Gallantry Award winners. Additionally, students were urged to explore the life narratives of any freedom fighter who served as an inspiration, such as Rani Laxmibai. The recommended topics also included the 1857 First War of Independence and the important role of Tribal Uprising in the Freedom Struggle. This varied array of topics not only enhanced the content of Veer Gatha 3.0 but also cultivated a more profound comprehension of historical and cultural heritage among the students.
