The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced special modules on Operation Sindoor for the students of classes 3 to 12.

The modules describe Operation Sindoor as “a triumph of bravery, strategy, and innovation,” highlighting India’s advanced air defence systems such as the S-400, which successfully brought down enemy aircraft from long ranges and neutralised Pakistani drones.

• The newly introduced modules also highlight retaliatory actions by Indian military forces, including the Balakot air strikes in 2019 following the Pulwama terror attack, and more recently, Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam terror attack.

“India launched missiles and air strikes, targeting nine terrorist sites situated in Pakistan and Pak-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) on May 7, 2025. Out of nine targets which were finally chosen and approved, seven of these terror camps were destroyed by the Indian Army, while the Indian Air Force destroyed terrorist targets in Muridke and Bahawalpur, which are the nerve centres of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed,” one of the modules said.

Operation Sindoor

Touted as the Indian military’s biggest and deepest strike till date, ‘Operation Sindoor,’ launched in the wee hours of May 7, marks the first joint operation since the 1971 war. 

All three defence branches — Army, Navy, and Air Force — coordinated to carry out the strikes on Pakistan to eliminate Jaish-e-Muhammed and Lashkar leadership.
