The Central government has organised many participative programmes across the country to mark the day which has been named ‘Veer Baal Diwas’. A digital exhibition detailing the life story and sacrifice of the ‘Sahibzades’ (martyred sons of Guru Gobind Singh) will also be displayed in schools and childcare institutions across the country
Mr. Modi will participate in the special programme at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi and will flag off a march-past by youth.
The programmes being organised by the government will focus on informing and educating the citizens, especially the young children, about the story of the exemplary courage of the ‘Sahibzades’.
There are numerous online competitions like interactive quizzes which are being organised through MYBharat and MyGov portals. A film on ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ will also be screened nationwide, an official statement said.
The Prime Minister had on Jan 9, 2022, announced that Tuesday will be observed as ‘Veer Baal Diwas’, to mark the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons Sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji.
On the first celebration of the Veer Baal Diwas in 2022, Mr. Modi said it would remind the nation that age did not matter when it came to extreme valour and sacrifice. “Veer Baal Diwas will tell us what is India and its identity and every year, Veer Baal Diwas will inspire us to recognise our past and make our future. This will also remind everyone about the strength of our young generation”, he said

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
