November 03, 2017: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has said that the Army has asked the HRD Ministry to include a book on heroic achievements of the highest gallantry awards recipients from the armed forces in the school curricula.
Mr Rawat was speaking at a program organised by the BN Srivastava Foundation in Pune to mark completion of 10 years of an initiative under which school children are encouraged to make greeting cards as well as rakhis which are sent to members of the Armed Forces.
He said the Army is hoping that this book will become part of the CBSE syllabus next year, as promised by the Human Resources Development minister.
Mr Rawat also said the Army is aiming to set up galleries giving information about the heroic deeds of personnel from the armed forces at universities and colleges.
These galleries will display sketches and photographs of gallantry award winners, their brief biodata and records of their achievements. (AIR NEWS)
