New Delhi: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) will organise a function to inaugurate the  'Wall of Heroes' in the honour of martyrs on May 16 during 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm at Convention Centre of the University. "University will pay tribute to all martyrs including Paramveer Chakra awardees, and honor their family members," said a statement from the University.

According to a press release from the HRD Ministry, to help in creating 'a spirit of respect for real heroes', Minister of Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar and Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre jointly launched a campaign to have a 'Wall of Valour' in 1,000 educational institutions across the country on May 2.
