NHRC Seeks Report from Education Ministry on Observance of Veer Bal Diwas in Schools
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken notice of a complaint regarding the observance of Children's Day and Veer Bal Diwas in schools. The complaint alleges that while Children's Day is celebrated on November 14, the martyrdom of the four Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh, commemorated on December 26 as Veer Bal Diwas, lacks adequate recognition. The NHRC has directed the Ministry of Education to submit a detailed Action Taken Report within 14 days, including clarification on official notifications and plans for educational programs on December 26.
