21 war heroes of the country who have been awarded Param Vir Chakra, the highest military decoration, will soon feature in a book which the NCERT will bring out in consultation with the Defence ministry.
The National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) has begun working on a supplementary reader on stories of Param Vir Chakra awardees, the government today said.
"The NCERT has initiated measures to publish a supplementary reader titled 'Veer Gatha: Stories of Param Vir Chakra Awardees', about 21 war heroes, in consultation with the Ministry of Defence," Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani said in a written response to a question in Lok Sabha.
In another written reply, Irani said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to accept online applications from private students for classes X and XII CBSE Board Examination-2016, under the Board's scheme of improvement or compartment or full subject categories.
