Veer Gatha, a project launched by the Government of India as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM) has introduced several events to commemorate the 75th year of India's Independence with the goal of inspiring school children to make them aware of the stories about the National Heroes and the brave hearts, to disseminate their acts of bravery and life stories. Students were encouraged to take part in a variety of activities like the framing of poems, paragraphs, and essays, the painting competition, and the multimedia presentations on the Medal Winners.
After the overwhelming response and success of Veer Gatha 1.0 and 2.0, the Ministry of Defence in coordination with the Ministry of Education has now decided to launch Project Veer Gatha 3.0 which is proposed to culminate with the Prize Distribution Ceremony. The project will be open to all schools in all States and Union Territories.
The Project Veer Gatha 3.0 shall be organized between 08th August 2023 to 17th October 2023.
