Army to Launch Three New Projects on Kargil Vijay Diwas to Honour War Heroes

To mark the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas, the Indian Army is set to unveil three new projects on July 26 that aim to honour the valour of Indian soldiers and deepen public connection with the armed forces. The initiatives include a digital tribute platform, a QR-code based audio experience, and a strategic viewpoint near the Line of Control (LoC).

The first initiative, called the ‘e-Shradhanjali’ portal, will allow citizens to pay their respects online to the martyrs of the Indian Army. With just a few clicks, people from across the country can offer digital tributes to soldiers who laid down their lives in the service of the nation. According to an Army official, the project seeks to increase public awareness about the sacrifices of the armed forces and the harsh realities they face in the line of duty.

The second project involves a QR code-enabled audio application that will narrate powerful stories from the 1999 Kargil War. The app offers an immersive, museum-like experience where users can scan codes and listen to accounts of heroic battles fought at places like Tiger Hill and Tololing. This initiative is designed to make the stories of courage, sacrifice, and resilience more accessible and engaging for the public.

The third and perhaps most unique initiative is the opening of the Indus Viewpoint in the Batalik sector. This tourist-friendly location will give civilians a rare opportunity to witness the terrain and conditions near the LoC. Located at a high-altitude strategic zone, the viewpoint aims to foster a deeper sense of patriotism by offering a firsthand look at the challenges faced by soldiers stationed on the borders.

Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year on July 26 to commemorate the Indian Army’s victory in the 1999 Kargil War, when it successfully recaptured key positions from Pakistani intruders during Operation Vijay. The Batalik sector, where the new viewpoint will be located, was one of the main battlegrounds of the war due to its crucial position between Kargil, Leh, and Baltistan.

These new projects are expected to not only honour the memory of fallen soldiers but also inspire greater public engagement with the Indian Army’s legacy of courage and sacrifice.
