About the Project

The Veer Gatha Project, now in its fourth edition, is back with an inspiring mission: to honor the bravery of India’s gallant soldiers and encourage young minds to reflect on the sacrifices made by our armed forces. Launched as part of the larger “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” celebration, this unique initiative aims to instill the values of courage, patriotism, and gratitude in school students across the country.

The project is part of the government’s broader effort to keep the memories of our national heroes alive, with a special focus on the recipients of the prestigious Gallantry Awards. Veer Gatha 4.0 seeks to engage students in creative activities such as essay writing, poetry, artwork, and multimedia presentations, giving them an opportunity to pay tribute to the bravery of our soldiers while expressing their thoughts on what it means to be a hero.
