The Veer Gatha Project was organised by the Union Ministry of Defence, in partnership with Ministry of Education and MyGov from October 21 to November 20, 2021, to generate awareness regarding the Gallantry award winners. This quiz is on the gallantry awards of India and the gallant officers/personnel of the armed forces who were awarded the Param Vir Chakra. It will help in gaining more knowledge about the awards and the awardees. The questions are only about a few of these great war heroes.
