This lesson will not only talk about the purity of the Ganga but will also teach the importance of water for saving the environment and farming.

The story of Muralikant

To inculcate the spirit of sports and patriotism, 'Veena' includes the story of Paralympic swimmer Muralikant Rajaram Petkar. Despite being paralyzed due to a bullet injury in the 1965 Indo-Pak war, he did not give up and won India's first gold medal in swimming in the 1972 Paralympics.
