NEW DELHI: “Wall of heroes” with portraits of Param Veer Chakra awardees will come up at around 1,000 schools and colleges across the country to inspire the youth.

Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar today launched the Centre’s campaign “Vidya, Veerta Abhiyan” as he condemned the killing of two soldiers by Pakistan.

While the establishment of the “wall of heroes” is voluntary for the educational institutes, he clarified that Centre will not issue any grants for the purpose and students and teachers should be encouraged to pool in money for the same.

“The condemnable and barbaric act by Pakistan has been carried out after ignoring all indicators of humanity. Even war has few principles but they do not any principle of humanity or either they don’t want to know it. The entire country is anguished,” Javadekar said at the event. (AGENCIES)
