NCERT is preparing two ‘modules’ on Operation Sindoor – separate publications that will not be part of the textbooks – one for classes 3 to 8, and another for classes 9 to 12, sources in the Education Ministry said.

The achievements of India and the armed forces will be described in the eight to 10-page module. The aim is to make students aware of India’s military power and Pakistan’s defeat, sources said.

The NCERT has a set of modules – short publications on specific topics – including some that were launched in May this year. The modules for classes 1 to 12 are available on the NCERT’s website. Separate modules have been prepared for COVID-19 and its impact on public health and social life, ‘India’s digital success and power’, the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the G20 summit that was held in India in 2023, and ‘Swachhata’. Each module contains stories, activities, and examples that illustrate the topic, and serves as additional material, beyond the textbook, that schools can use.
