New Delhi: Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan on Friday said work is underway to virtually link the various military museums to one e-platform under a project that aims to spread awareness about India’s glorious military heritage.
In his keynote address at the inaugural ceremony of the second edition of the Indian Military Heritage Festival here, the CDS also pitched for creating military fiction work that combines literary fiction with military events of the past to make them more accessible to the masses.
“We, in the armed forces, with an intent to spread awareness of our glorious history and heritage, have initiated a project of e-linking of our military museums. We have already e-linked about eight of these military museums, and shortly we are going to e-link all 47-48 military museums. So, they will be available at one site, you need not have to go there,” General Chauhan said.
Speaking at the Indian Military Heritage Festival, Chauhan emphasized the creation of military fiction to blend history with accessible narratives for the public
The event also featured the launch of Project ‘Shaurya Gatha,’ aiming to conserve military heritage through education and tourism. The CDS highlighted the role of military literature in preserving history and underscored the need for more military fiction in India.
