“The aim is to make students understand how nations respond to terror threats and how defence, diplomacy, and coordination between ministries play a role in national security,” PTI quoted a person aware of the development.

The NCERT's latest initiative comes months after the Indian Armed Forces launched military strikes in nine locations of Pakistan and PoK in a joint military action called Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in the region as a retaliation for the deadly Pahalga terror attacks that claimed 26 lives.

"At the central level, a comprehensive exercise covering various fields of study and courses has not yet been conducted. However, this will begin in the coming few months. The initiative has already been announced in the budget. The data has been compiled, and the scheme is currently awaiting formal approval. The rollout will be primarily digital. Those who require printed copies can produce them as needed based on their specific requirements," the report quoted a person aware of the development.

"For each of these courses, we have also mapped the main textbooks in use. On average, there are at least two to four core textbooks associated with every course," it added.
