Making scriptures part of school syllabus
Making scriptures part of school syllabus
It is being considered in Uttarakhand as students must know about the country's rich cultural heritage and knowledge traditions.
The Uttarakhand government is considering making scriptures such as the Gita and Ramayana, vedas and puranas as part of the school syllabus. Announcing this at a programme in Doon University on Saturday, state Education Minister Dhan Singh Rawat said this is being considered as students must know about the country's rich cultural heritage and knowledge traditions.
Taking a dig at the minister, state Congress chief Karan Mahra said the government should pay more attention to employment-based education. In the new education policy, states have to prepare their syllabus for schools.
However, Rawat clarified that before taking any decision in this regard, the advice of people will be taken. Reacting to this, Mahra said there is nothing wrong in educating students about their culture but before doing anything of that sort, it would be better if the education minister himself first studies about personalities from Uttarakhand.
