The Human Resources ministry is all set to release a series of five illustrated books for children, under the Veer Gatha series, today. The books will be launched in both English and Hindi and will commemorate India's bravehearts -- Param Vir Chakra awardees -- from the Indian Army.

The series will be launched by the National Book Trust, India, an apex body of the HRD ministry, as part of the Republic Day celebrations.

The five books will pay homage to Major Somnath Sharma (1947 war), Major Shaitan Singh (1962 war), CQMH Abdul Hamid (1965 war), Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal (1971 war) and Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey (1999 Kargil war).
