    Veer Gatha: Stories of Param Vir Chakra Awardees

    Book Review

    Veer Gatha: Stories of Param Vir Chakra Awardees is a non-fiction book


    published by National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in the year
    2016 at a price of Rupees 100. Veer Gaatha: Stories of Param Vir Chakra Awardees has been
    brought out in the honour of those who fought against all odds to safeguard the honour of our
    nation.
    Veer Gaatha is a memoir of war heroes who will be remembered forever for their indomitable
    courage, dedication to duty and undying love for the motherland. This book is a collection of
    stories of great icons of the Indian armed forces who have been awarded the Param Vir
    Chakra. The award is the highest military honour and it stands for the highest degree of
    conspicuous gallantry, supreme courage, leadership, exemplary devotion to duty and self-
    sacrifice in wartime.
    The stories in the book are inspiring and instructive. They will give the reader insights into
    our “Param Virs”, the bravehearts, their disciplined and determined characters and their
    commitment to responsibility. We are sure that students will be motivated to imbibe their
    sterling qualities and carry forward the glorious tradition set by them.
    The Param Vir Chakra (PVC) is India’s highest military decoration awarded for the highest
    degree of valour or self-sacrifice in presence of the enemy. Literally, Param Vir Chakra
    means ‘Wheel (or Cross) of the Ultimate Brave’. In Sanskrit, Param means Ultimate, Vir
    (pronounced veer) means Brave and Chakra means Wheel. Introduced on 26th January 1950,
    this award may be given posthumously.
    The book has been developed with the support of the ministries of defence and human
    resource development. Twenty one Indian soldiers have been awarded the nation’s highest
    gallantry award the Param Vir Chakra so far since independence. Maj Somnath Sharma was
    awarded the first PVC posthumously for the Battle to save the Srinagar airfield from Pakistan
    army and raiders in October 1947.
    Veer Gaatha seeks to introduce the great acts of bravery of the Param Vir Chakra awardees to
    instill a sense of inspiration and patriotism in children at an early age.
    It is a part of HRD ministry’s initiative to take the stories of India’s bravest of the brave
    soldiers to young school children and inspire them to be a part of the Indian armed
    forces. The book aims to introduce the tales of valour and unparalleled bravery of Indian
    soldiers to the young generation.
