PM Modi to participate in Veer Bal Diwas today

The government is organising awareness programmes nationwide to inform citizens, especially children, about the courageous story of the Sahibzade martyrs.

Digital exhibits detailing the life and sacrifice of the Sahibzades will be displayed in schools and childcare centres across the country. A film on 'Veer Baal Diwas' will also be screened countrywide.

Online competitions like quizzes will be held through portals like MYBharat and MyGov to engage the youth.

Why Veer Bal Diwas is celebrated? 

In January 2022, PM Modi announced that December 26 will be observed as 'Veer Bal Diwas'. It marks the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh's young sons Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh.

The programmes aim to spread awareness among the younger generation about the values of courage and sacrifice displayed by the noble Sahibzade children.

By reaching out to students across the education system, the government hopes to make 'Veer Baal Diwas' a fitting tribute to their supreme sacrifice for righteousness and justice.
