CBSE and state boards.
In pursuance of the Veer gatha the students undertook different projects
on these gallantry award winners and the best projects were awarded nationally by MoD and Ministry of Education (MoE) on 12th August, 2022.
The MoD in coordination with MoE has now decided to launch Project Veergatha Edition – 2
which is proposed to be culminated with the prize distribution ceremony in January, 2023.
