The Project Veer Gatha was instituted in 2021 with the aim of disseminating the inspiring tales of valour, selfless sacrifice, and courage of the Gallantry Awardees. The Union Education Ministry said the project has provided a platform for the school students to do creative projects and activities based on heroic deeds and sacrifice of gallantry award winners.
