New curriculum modules featuring Shubhanshu Shukla and Operation Sindoor will be introduced by NCERT.

B O News Desk : A senior official involved in the curriculum revamp said the inclusion of these real-world events would help students better understand India’s evolving capabilities.

“We want young learners to grasp the significance of coordinated action during national crises and the contributions made by various branches of government,” the official said.

In parallel, students will be introduced to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla’s journey — a landmark achievement that saw him become the first Indian astronaut to reach the International Space Station as part of the Axiom Mission 4.

His feat will be presented as a symbol of India’s rising stature in global space exploration, alongside references to pioneering missions like Chandrayaan and Aditya L1.

To foster a broader understanding of national challenges and global responsibilities, the modules will also touch upon environmental stewardship through Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), a government initiative promoting sustainable living practices.

Additionally, the curriculum will include a historical perspective with a unit dedicated to the Partition of India, aiming to build empathy and an appreciation of the country’s resilient past.

Although a launch date is yet to be announced, the updated modules are expected to be introduced in classrooms soon after final approval.

The move aligns with NCERT’s broader mission to modernise educational content, making it more relevant, engaging, and rooted in India’s national identity.
