About Veer Gatha Project

Project Veer Gatha was instituted under Gallantry Awards Portal (GAP) in 2021 with the aim to disseminate the details of acts of bravery of the Gallantry Awardees and the life stories of these brave hearts among the students so as to raise the spirit of patriotism and instill amongst them values of civic consciousness.

Project Veer Gatha deepened this noble aim by providing a platform to the school students (students of all schools in India) to do creative projects/activities based on gallantry award winners. As part of this, the students framed different projects through various media like art, poems, essays and multimedia on these gallantry award winners and best projects were awarded at national level by Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Education.

The project has been coterminous with Republic Day Celebrations each year. Veer Gatha has been a phenomenal success with 8 lakhs participation in Veer Gatha 1.0 conducted in 2021-22, 19.5 lakhs in Veer Gatha 2.0 conducted in 2022-23, 1.37 crore in Veer Gatha 3.0 conducted in 2023-24, 1.76 crore in Veer Gatha 4.0 conducted in 2024-25 and 1.92 crore in Veer Gatha 5.0 conducted in 2025-26. Hon’ble Raksha Mantri and Hon’ble Minister of Education have commended Veer Gatha as ‘heralding of a revolution amongst the students of India’.
