Guwahati News Desk: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday announced the launch of Deshbhakti curriculum in Government schools from September 27 and yoga classes in residential areas from October 2.
While addressing on the occasion of India’s 75th Independence Day, Kejriwal said that the Delhi Government schools will start teaching Deshbhakti curriculum as a tribute to the great freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
He added, “This will be an activity-based course in which the schoolchildren will be taught how to contribute to the development of the country and discharge their duties and be ready to sacrifice even their lives for the nation.”
He added further, “We were teaching subjects to students but they were never taught Deshbhakti. Now they will learn the essence of patriotism. I urge parents to talk to their children after they return to their homes to talk about Deshbhakti.”
He also informed that the Government will be starting yoga classes in parks, community halls and other such places across the city from October.
Kejriwal said, “If 40-50 people in any residential colony come forward, the Delhi Government will provide them yoga instructors.”
Moreover, citing the Government’s vision of Delhi in 2047, Kejriwal said the city’s per capita income should be equal to Singapore and added that it could be achieved if both the Government and people work together.
