The Centre is also organising programmes across the country to inform and educate citizens about the bravery of Sahibzades. Programmes including essay writing and quiz competitions will be conducted amid other activities such as digital exhibitions. 

In a bid to pay respect to the supreme sacrifice made by Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, the Indian government has decided to observe December 26 as "Veer Baal Diwas." 

Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Shahibjada Jujhar Singh, Sahibjada Zorawar Singh, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh are the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh guru. Anandpur Sahib Fort was the starting point of the conflict. Guruji and his army were reportedly attacked by the Mughal Army. The family was split up after a protracted battle on the Sarsa River's bank.
