To mark Veer Baal Diwas, the Government of India is organising participative programmes across the country with the objective of informing and educating citizens about the extraordinary courage and supreme sacrifice of the Sahibzades, and to honour and commemorate the indomitable courage, sacrifice, and valour of the young heroes of India's history.

Respect to the young martyrs. Their story is timeless. However, I hope the focus remains on the spirit of their sacrifice and the values they stood for, rather than just a ceremonial observance. The real tribute is to imbibe that courage.

The scale of this is impressive—from Anganwadis to national platforms. If executed well in schools, it can have a lasting impact. The key is consistent follow-up, not just a one-day event.
