Under the ‘Shaurya Sankalan’ project, military history will be preserved.
Under the Project ‘Shaurya Sankalan: Digital Archiving of Military History’, nearly 700 hours of audio-visual content and 11 lakh pages of record on the 1948 Jammu and Kashmir conflict, the 1961 Goa Liberation and the India-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971 have been archived.
This initiative has been started as part of the Army’s effort to preserve the Army’s glorious past for posterity.
700 hours of audio-visual content and 11 lakh pages of record are held with over more than 1300 units, formations, regimental centres and military museums in the form of battle memoirs.
The audio-visual films have been cured, digitised and preserved in the ‘Digital Archive Kiosk’, which was created at the United Services Institute of India, New Delhi.
Another kiosk will be established at the upcoming ‘History Cell’ of the Army War College.
In a web page interactive format, this content will remain available to researchers, academicians and scholar warriors.
