National War Memorial

The National War Memorial is in New Delhi. It was established in February 2019. It is a national monument built by the Government of India in honour of our brave soldiers who gave their lives for the country.

• The names of the soldiers are etched (carved) on stone.
• An eternal flame burns there all the time in their memory.
• It honours soldiers of the Army, the Air Force and the Navy — on land, in the skies and on the oceans.

The poem describes the National War Memorial in the heart of Bharat. It is a grand sight. It retells the brave stories of our soldiers.

The memorial stands with pride and respect. Each name and each stone on it tells a story of courage.

Our soldiers stood side by side to protect Bharat — on battlefields, in the skies and on the wide oceans.

The eternal flame glows silently. It pays respect to their courage.

We must always remember their sacrifice with pride and respect.
