In the NCERT Class 7 National War Memorial chapter, two friends exchange letters and share their feelings of gratitude for the freedom they enjoy due to the sacrifices made by the armed forces.
“Deep emotional impact and connect, which arises in minds and hearts of the children as they visit the iconic monument, have been brought out creatively by the authors of NCERT,” the defence ministry said.
