NCERT set to introduce new curriculum modules featuring Shubhanshu Shukla, Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor, Mission LiFE, and Indian space missions, including Chandrayaan, Aditya L1, and Shubhanshu Shukla’s recent International Space Station (ISS) mission, will soon be a key part of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum, according to Education Ministry sources.
Two modules are currently under development. The first module is designed for students of Classes 3 to 8, while the second is intended for Classes 9 to 12. Each module will span approximately eight to 10 pages and will showcase key milestones in India’s military and strategic journey with a particular emphasis on how Operation Sindoor was executed as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
“The idea is to educate young minds about India’s military power, the decisive actions taken to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty, and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security,” a senior official in the ministry said.
While specific operational details will remain classified, Operation Sindoor will be used as a key case study to illustrate India’s strategic strength.
Sources also said that a module on the horrors of partition will also be introduced, offering students a historical perspective on the traumatic legacy of India’s independence and the resilience shown in the years that followed.
