The Bhagvad Gita will now find a place in the school curriculum in Uttarakhand, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced on Tuesday.
Chairing a review meeting of the state education department at the Chief Minister’s camp office in Dehradun, the CM said children should study the Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta in the curriculum in schools.
Work should be done on a clear plan for the next 10 years for innovation in the field of education, he said. The education department should prepare a silver celebration calendar of various activities by December 2026. Before the onset of monsoon, all the schools in the state should be inspected and the condition of school roads and bridges as well as other basic facilities should be reviewed, Dhami said.
The Chief Minister said that a proposal should be made by studying the best practices of other states for the facility of residential hostels in cluster schools. In the first phase, one residential hostel should be built in each district.
The Chief Minister directed the officials to ensure that children get textbooks on time every year. He said that there should be complete transparency in the transfer process in the education department.
