Overview

• Education Minister Ashish Sood unveiled the proposal at a Kargil Vijay Diwas event at Shivaji College, with martyrs’ families and university community members present.
• The scheme would rename prominent Delhi government schools in tribute to local Kargil War martyrs such as Captains Sumit Roy, Anuj Nayyar and Hanif-ud-Din.
• Officials say the move is designed to embed stories of sacrifice into daily school life and inspire patriotism and civic responsibility among students.
• Previous renaming efforts in Delhi have focused on national figures, making this the first scheme dedicated to honouring local war heroes in government schools.
• The proposal is under review as officials identify suitable institutions before seeking final approval from the Delhi cabinet.
