The Government of India, through the Ministry of Home Affairs, has decided to observe 26th December as "Veer Baal Diwas" annually. This day is dedicated to honoring the bravery and sacrifice of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, the young sons of the tenth Sikh Guru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

On 26th December 1705, at the tender ages of 9 and 6 respectively, they made the ultimate sacrifice in their pursuit of justice. To mark Veer Baal Diwas on 26th December 2023, the school has planned various activities according to the guidelines set by CBSE.
Due to ongoing winter vacations, schools are organizing the online events around this. Apart from interactive quizzes on My Gov/ My Bharat portals schools are organizing the essay and quiz competitions and awareness sessions are being organized across India.
Through this session, students will have the opportunity to learn about and embrace qualities such as sacrifice, courage, steadfastness, confidence, mindfulness, and more, as exhibited by the Sahibzadas.
Essay and Poem writing: Students can express their thoughts and reflections on the sacrifice, courage, and values learned from the lives of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji through essays and poems.

Art Activities
Students are invited to create a "Wall of Appreciation" where they can display self-made Thank You Cards as a gesture of gratitude towards the sacrifices made by Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.
The cards should be addressed to Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.
